How abouts a 55-62 motor? Got my 235 started yesterday! *does dance* I've got 35 PSI at idle hot at 750 rpm, rising to 42 psi at 1500 RPM. Man this motor sounds great! I even pulled the distributor to check gear/pump wear, so far it looks good. Engine revvs freely and runs cool. Can't wait to show off the 4bbl/fenton setup at the next local cruise night. Haven't driven her yet, but dammit boy!
Question- How much metal is permissable in 1st oil change? I dropped the oil after the first 30 min, and there was some gold and silver glitter in the oil. But when I run my fingers thru it, nothing sticks to my fingers. I also dipped a piece of typing paper in the oil, and held it to the light. Didn't see much junk. I'm going to let the oil sit in the drain pan and see what settles out.
thanx
