Blew the upper radiator holes and cooked it good. Couldn't get it to fire. Been setting just like that for 5 years. Hoping it was a timing chain. But I did look down the distributor hole (383) and things looked connected.

The t-chain must have jumped before I put the engine into my car (probably why it was parked all those years ago) since it feels like it has gained 50HP... it burns rubber (1 wheel peel) when I floor it from a start, whereas it wouldn't even do a brake-stand in water before. Ive got some in-gear idling issues (again) but other than that, its running great! Thanks Guys! Paul '69 Super Bee 383 EFI Turbo
