I replaced a Oil Pan , Fuel pump, and a cracked head. All grounding connections down to bare metal, all torque to spec. I started the car when still up on jack stands, it turned over a few times and the fuel came up and it fired up and ran smooth. I took it off stands rotated it 90 degrees...

Has any one have MSD 8386 distributor kill while driving?

thanks for your thoughts, I retraced and tested and unplug and removed a bad switch, and replaced it works like new now. Thanks for your thread

I have to change a 7 Qt oil pan and don't want to pull the motor to do it. I know it is easier when out of the car but any one have any tips to make it easier with it still in the car? Any comments will be welcome. Lime Lite 70

I rebuilt the booster and refinished it with VHT Cast Iron paint from Summit Racing. You have to clean the booster really well and the paint adheres well and looks good. I hope this helps. Good Luck
