Got my engine home!

[deputycrawford]

I had the machine shop measure and mill two extra marks on my damper. The original is at 0 degrees,marked in white. The second at 15 degrees is marked in yellow, and the third at 35 degrees is marked in red. I manually put the engine at the 15 mark on intake stroke, nudged it forward to 16 degrees, then installed the distributor straight on number one. I filled the front fuel bowl with a syringe ( not with the needle attached) through the vent tube. Then it fired like it was never shut off. Of course I oil primed it first. And used GM EOS oil supplement.

Nice work, that oilpan looks right at home on your engine    The fram filter is OK for the initial fireup and cam break in, so as soon as that's done....drain the oil and install fresh lube with a new Wix or Napa Gold filter and you'll be fine.

Thanls Ron!  You have to excuse me About your name I thought it was neal  (that would be chryco's)
  AND yes that oil pan fits in the K member just fine   I was having some doubts at first glance as the engine got closer to the end of it's trip

No problem Winston....there are so many of us posting here it's often difficult to keep track of who's who. 

I've installed that pan ina couple of second gen Chargers so i knew it would fit fine....allthough it looks tight when you're sizing it up. Good luck on the fireup and break-in of the new and improved motor.
