You fuckin suck this didnt help at all!

[BoxWrench]

@ChukyG863 Sorry to hear that. Not sure exactly what you mean by that, but this is not really meant to teach you everything you need for this procedure. If you haven't noticed yet, by all the other comments & videos, this is a "trailer" or sample. It's part of a full 3 1/2 hour DVD that takes you from disassembly all the way to install and breaking in your motor. Before following instructions, make sure you have the entire set of material at hand first.

hey i wondering if you can let me know when a engine cranks over slow does it mean that its stuck ................. i have a new battery and new parts on it and still wont start do i have to move the Distributor cap around to get a better crank or faster crank on it

[BoxWrench]

@Mr559TAVO If the engine cranks slowly, it shouldn't be stuck. If the crank or a piston was frozen in place, you wouldn't hear the engine 'turning over' at all.

You can use our 'Basic Engine Building' DVD to guide you through all of the procedures leading up to and including the distributor install...or, you can check out our two videos here on YT concerning the distributor and ignition set-up. Both sample vids are from our 'BEB' DVD.

i took a 351 0ut of a ford bronco fuel injected and put it into a mustang carberated but i used the same distributor do i need to change distributors cuz i went from fuel injected to carberated cuz it doesnt rev up right and it just dont seem right

[BoxWrench]

@TheDwortham First thing to check is the timing.

What method did you use to install the distributor and set the initial timing...?

[AntillRS]

[Cmonster707]

@ChukyG863 your a douche...

[robemery11]

Your videos are fantastic.

[fourfortyroadrunner]

This "moving the oil pump drive" is nonsense. Just drop the dist in close as you can get, bump the starter until it falls in, then come around and recheck the timing marks and distributor position. Most of the time you can anticipate where it will "change." If not, EASY, just rotate the dist one gear tooth which way you need, bump again to drop it in, and you're done

[MisterMattyMo]

@BoxWrench Don't even bother trying saying anything to this douche, he is just an internet troll. Great video! :D!

[ChukyG863]

Sorry man i was just having a bad day man i didnt mean to insult you!
