I did my "standard" '69 Barracuda buckets with PUI covers back in '16 off Ebay. Thought they came out pretty decent for a first (and most likely last) time upholsterer. 10 years later they seem to be hanging in there so far............ Used to was you could get a sample from...

Can you post the 7 digit numbers? ... https://www.mopar1.us/radiator.txt

Assuming this is a big block engine? Does your prime tool still fit? Have you checked the intermediate shaft for a bent condition? Have you checked the intermediate shaft tip for burrs that may cause a hang up?

Looks like finishing washers one might find in a hardware store. such as.......... https://www.mcmaster.com/products/washers/finishing-washers-1~/?s=brass+washers or maybe try belville washers

How about bolts? I used them on my '69. An "out of the box" option might be K-frame spacers, maybe 3/8".

FWIW, March 24 I ordered a TNT pie tin from them for a "first time see how they do" sort of test. The next day this shows up........... Hmmmm.....seems they want a nonreturn acknowledgement. I went ahead and accepted. It was delivered on 04/04/26. Although it took a bit longer to...

It does look chalky as though it been in solvent too long. I forgot about this bowl in Berryman overnight:BangHead:. After wiping some of the sludge off I didn't notice erosion like his main body....... Curious @Cuda_at_last Did you have the steel metering plate and gasket on this...

Guessing you've already checked to make sure the fuel feed to the pump is adequate. It does seem unlikely two different pump arms aren't riding the eccentric.

Nice job!! :thumbsup:

This is a nonissue, IMO. I run the 402 pan and windage tray as well in my '69 Barracuda. My long block has been together for many years and still has good oil pressure. Granted it's done more sitting than rolling around town. It still runs around 35 psi hot idle 800..ish RPM. A still @ about 1K...

No, fuel pump. I don't know that the pushrod could be an issue.

I really don't know for sure as I've never actually encountered that particular situation myself. Others have mentioned and questioned the possibility. The only way to know is to open it up. If they are correct orientation, you have other issues. Curious...Are you using a stock fuel pump...

FWIW, a 402 is a 4 qt pan and add 1 more for the filter. Not sure you'd see any oil pressure if any oil gallery plug is missing. One confusing item on BB's is the rocker shaft oil hole correct orientation. These oiling holes for the rockers should be pointing down and out from the bolt...

That's pretty typical for a pressed powder metal gerotor. I'm pretty sure it's not the issue as you've seen the same with a different pump. How hot is your engine getting? Does your oil appear frothy as in aerated? Did the engine rebuild include listing of the clearances? You might change your...

Intermittents are a PITA. Basics-all grounds Engine ground to chassis. ECU ground to chassis Column ground, etc.. Points (condenser failing or shorting out) or electronic ignition (loose female barrel connector in plug)? Ballast resistor continuity and connections. Fusible link and bulkhead...
