The tranny should have a kickdown apparently but alot of guys run with out one. If I free up the linkage so it slides in D 2 1 nicely I should be set to go.

i think the c6 uses a rod for kickdown. it'll work without it, just won't downshift unless you do it manually. I'd probably install one myself.
I'm actually impressed it even ran 60 degrees off. Distributor in a couple teeth off?86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

should have a kick down rod. carb may not have the propper likage for it. With that timing you might spark knock using the vacuum advance wwithout EGR. Miss a shift much over 6000 RPM and you might bend a push rod.Scars are tatoos of the fearlessComment

the c6 uses vacuum.....if the line is of it will be a pig.........make sure the advance in the distributor isnt siezed......happened to me with natehawks used 351w.....bronco sat for a few months

Stock 351m said I think 35* total, cant be that far off. I still gotta play with it, its still sluggish especially down low. But at least I can feel it kind of pulling. I will definetly check the vacuum advance dashpot.Originally posted by turbo2256b View Post
I wish I had some deserted road I could do some real test runs with. Cops everywhere round here. I only can get on it for a second.
On the other note... I got my head unit in, a set of gauges, and fixed more wiring snafus. Oil pressure kinda is low but whatever... 20psi at hot idle.

that's good oil pressure for a 351m mang

Went shopping today, bought some things needed for the truck. A few 1157 and 194 bulbs, oil + filter, lucas, threaded rod for a air cleaner stud and the glue kit to put on an rear view mirror.
Gonna crawl under and see wtf is going on with the shifter linkage. Hopefully I'll free that up. I've never used an oil additive before so hopefully it will help with the lifter tick.

x2. Those pigs have some low blood pressure. Mine had a really bad lifter tick- it drank oil, too. It got to where I didn't even bother checking it any more- I just filled it up when the tick got too loud to stand. I hated that motor.Originally posted by lincolnmania View Post

Not sure why you say that, I'm very impressed with this motor. I got the truck running sweet today.Originally posted by moneypit View Post
I checked the vac advance and it wasnt siezed. It was shot, just a nice vacuum leak. So I replace the dashpot with another on I had and it works good now. Turns out there was a hole in the old dashpot.
Rechecked the timing and pulled a few degrees out. Around 14* initial and 34-5* Total. Seemed to make a difference.
That also seemed to want to make the tranny downshift easier and I freed it up so I can manually shift it if I need to.
The truck needs a converter, the cam on it is pretty lumpy and not what a truck needs. Its gotta be a cleveland grind cam. Its kinda slow to 2500rpm but after that it spins the tires whenever on the wet roads. I found a drier road and opened it up and I was really suprised 20-80mph in a snap. It put me back in the seat. Only had it to 5 grand at each shift and it was pulling like crazy still. I dont know how far the power band goes, but theres alot of grunt now. Its faster than my old 4dr merk I had for sure.

O yea, I really hate glass packs. This thing is really obnoxious with the popping.

One problem is the refusal of people to run thin oil in 335 Series motors. The oiling systems sucks. Starve the bearings and you will get accelerated wear. I have seen 400s with fresh builds hold up in truck pulls and have decent oil pressure. I personally owned a F100 with over 150,000 miles and a 400 with great oil pressure. The truck rusted apart before the motor wore out.
What is worse is the retards running 20W-50 in 4V Clevelands thinking that their "race" engine needs "race" oil. Pure stupidity..... Alot of the factory 351s spun bearings because of stupidity. This was with the pitiful factory cams and low compression.
A 351M with an intake and cam change will outrun any factory 351W.Comment

That's blinker fluid there...... And if you have an old British car, it just may have muffler bearings.... Seriously..... That's what they called them...
