well after a month of waiting i finally got my replacement 1920 and put her on in less than 5 minutes after it was dropped off
fired right up
but now that my timing and fuel issues are gone im afraid my oil pump has gone out
it sounds rough like theres no oil and theres smoke coming out of the valve covers...but not real fast i might add
since my dipstick is cut i cdont know how much oil is even in the engine but ill change it soon to find out

besides my dummy light where on the engine can i put a pressure gauge to see what my oil psi is?
and where exactly is the oil pump..ive heard its a pain to get to but i cant find any manuals or anything locally that help me out

behind the distributor. There is a sending unit there with 1 wire coming out!

Look under the oil filter from under the car. You will see that one wire clipped to an electrode facing in the direction of the fire wall Rug_Trucker was talking about. That is the oil pressure sending unit, and that wire goes to the low oil pressure light on the dash. All that rigging is connected to the oil pump.

are you hearing lifter noise?

yeah
it got better once the engine warmed up but still there

got the car into the garage late this evening so ill get working on it tomorrow when my minds fresh
while getting it into the garage i didnt sound as bad oil wise but i was more concerned about getting it inside
ill get it in time and such tomorrow

so is the oil pump on the outside of the engine?

Yes the oil pump is right there with the oil filter,can be removed with engine in car with some horsing around,what model/year car?

Where the pressure sending unit is screwed in you can put in a T-fitting which gives you a place to adapt a mech pressure guage and still have a place for the idiot lite.Some leave the guage under the hood to watch while tweaking an tuning or plumb it inside the cab to keep an eye on it while driving.If you need to mess with the oil pump use the search function for info on servicing the pressure relief valve and tips on removing the pump.You'll be wanting to adjust the valves anyway so as the valve cover will be off watch for oiling at the rocker arm,if it's oiling you're probably ok on pressure.Good luck

once it got warm i took the fill cap off it looked like it was oiling fine...
ill try and get her in time and see how it does

got it to running temp and idle and set the timing
still sounds like crap and theres black crap coming out of the tailpipes
the new carb needs some serious tweaking for sure

You need to adjust your valves FIRST get it warmed up and purchase a valve cover gasket. Do the valve adjustment procedure as found on this site(do a search). THEN adjust your carb.

did a valve adjuustment...it wasnt to far out actually
but it still runs like crap and smokes a little so i guess im burning oil but not enough to come out the exhaust...

slant 6s are truly frustrating

im already looking for a 318 atleast because i can work on the small blocks

just a thought..but if your carb is out of adj. youll get smoke..I got black marks in my driveway to prove it

Its so nice out side, I think I'll go lay under my car..

smoke from the intake?as in when i took the valve cover off

i guess i need to work more on getting the carb set but not having a guide or book its a pain...i really need to purchase some better books
