Rebuilt engine will not run
I rebuilt a 62-327 block and the internal parts are new. The heads are cast 202/160(?) breathing through Hooker headers and 2 1/2" pipe. On top is a Edelbrook manifold with a Holley 650 duel feed line dbl pump. The disitributor is 63 ventage with Mallory elcetronic guts and a stock coil. The 62 block has a hole for the crank case vent tube/road draft tube. I placed a plug in the hole when I preped the block for rebuilding. A PCV is on the right valve cover and feed into the intake manifold. The other valve cover has a breather filter. Crank and cam timing were set by the rebuild shop. Timing is set at 12 degrees BTDC.
Symptoms: Engine runs rough for approx 5-8 min when first started and after warming up she will stall. Bottom line is, the motor does not run smooth and stalls after being warmed up.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
