glue the gaskets to the block, then get it close and pop it on the bottom with a mallet or the handle of a hammer, it should "pop" on in there

finally got it on there..... the gear that goes on the shaft an turns oil pump seems really close to the timing cover

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #184 on:** Jun 22, 2009, 08:11:28 PM »

put the bolt in that goes thru the head into the timing cover and maybe it will pull it up tight enough, also get the oil pan buttoned up before tightening the bolts that hold the cover on

glop some vaseline on it, it will hold it enoughto stay put, but wont cause any problems later as it will breakdown and go away

dude, just advance it (turn distributor clockwise) till it kinda makes it hard to start, then back it off till it starts easy, then when you get down here i can time it with my light

make sure the exhaust can move a little, cant remember what kind of flange that header had but it needs a place to take the twisting of the truck as you go over bad flexy places, i know when i had mine welded up solid i cried when my header cracked $I\'m Down$

baldwookie · « **Reply #209 on:** Jul 11, 2009, 09:37:57 PM »

k..the header was cut off when i got it no flange.... should i have one welded in? or allow mor movement by the muffler?
