Jim, I know just how you feel, I wish mine was ready
for a full street drive. I have driven it just enough to want the full
experience. Pretty rare that a major engine project runs the best without
a little finessing it.......................MO

issues
WEEKEND UPDATE:
OK I helicoiled the stripped intake bolt and resealed the gaskets.
Started it back up and it ran a little better. I got the idle down
to about 1,400 and it will stay running in gear at idle. I still have
the timing a bit over advanced. I took it for a brief test ride and it
pinged slightly on acceleration, and upon hot restart it was obvious.
I ran a compression test to rule out cam timing and the results were very
postive. Between 180 and 190 across all eight cylinders. With some
strong help I am headed down the path of dialing in the carbs. I'll
report back next weekend.
By the way, the test drive was the first time the Fury has been driven in
13 years since I started the resto project! The smile from that feeling
as well as all the help I am getting is sustaining me throughout this ordeal.
Getting close! And my oh my if the test ride was any inidication,
it is a MONSTER!!! The wife says GET A LICENSE PLATE AND SOME MUFFLERS
BEFORE THE NEIGHBORS CALL THE COPS
Thanks again, everyone...
Jim

Definitely feel like I am on the right track thanks to tons of
help. It will be next Saturday before I get a chance to put it back
together - I'll send an update, for sure.
Regarding the intake bolts, we might want to file this one in the
lessons-learned bank. I purchased/installed ARP part # 144-2101 named
"Bolts, Intake Manifold, Chromoly, Black Oxide, 12-Point Head, Chrysler, Big
Block, Kit."
Take a look at them compared to the 3/8-16 x 1 3/4 bolts from the
hardware store (attached). Let's not even bring up that the ARP bolts
were $36 and I got out of the hardware store for I think $11, including the
Snickers bar I chomped on the way home given the wife wasn't with me.

Way to go Jim! I have to go out in the garage now and
check the bolts for my new intake!......
What great interaction! Just a bunch of well wishers trying to help
one of their own.

Well. I finally got the stroker to light up, but I've got
some issues. I hope it's not serious, but it doesn't sound good.
I had to advance the timing to about 50 degrees to get it to
start, and after break-in, I can't get it to idle below about 1,800 RPM.
And there is an obvious miss when you kick the throttle. My
1st thought on the idle was a vacuum leak, but I ran some propane around
the intake and nothing happened. The timing and the miss have me
concerned. Could I have possibly screwed up the timing chain
marks? Any thoughts?
The good news is I have awesome oil pressue and no leaks. It
sounds freaking wicked. Here's a video:
Thanks,
Jim
