Hi All,
I have a 1974 J10 with a 401 that was just rebuilt. We've been putting everything back together and hit a snag. After installing the engine/tranny/transfer case in the truck, the engine will only turn over 160-170*. It spun over fine when we installed the distributor (out of the truck), since then we added the flexplate and tranny. My guess it that it is related to the flexplate - the is a light tick that I think I hear from back there when it stops - maybe hitting something on the block?
Any advice or thoughts before I tear everything apart?
Thanks in advance!
Ray
