Thanks Tom,
So today I got the radiator and hoses, driveshaft, trans filled, power steering cooler mounted, PS lines all on, PS fluid in and antifreeze all done. Decided to put my battery on the passenger floor board and "temporarily wire" the EFI,starter and gauges. So I spin the starter and watch the oil pressure gauge, it bounces to 20 psi and back to 0. WTF? So I get out and see a puddle forming under the front of the engine WTFFFMOFO??? Its dripping from the Derale remote filter adapter, the alternator, and the oil pressure sender. I immediately start cussing the Derale adapter because that really looks like where it is originating from.

So im staring up at it all from my creeper with a light telling Murphy to go away, and then the light shines up high enough I can see a hole on the front of the block wet with oil. WTF? Well long story short, unknown to me is a oil galley plug hole on the FRONT OUTSIDE of the block with no plug. Didn't even know it existed, I didn't remove it and don't remember noticing it ever. I figured out it is 1/8" pipe and ran to Menards of all places and found a brass plug for it, reinstalled the alternator and belt, jumper wired everything again and VIOLA 50psi while cranking! Heart attack diverted. Tomorrow I plan to hook up some fuel to her and make that video of it idling. Murphy be damned....


Mopar to the bone!!!

Here is a shot of how my sensors were before I removed them.

Yeah that little sucker is hard to see! Glad that you caught it before any major damage

OK it idles decent after a couple swings, was WAY off with the factory settings and 80 lb injectors. Battery is low, alternator isn't charging, fans are not wired and neither is about everything else but mission accomplished, shes a runner.

I bought a 426, 7.0L for a restoration project and I have a lot of problems to find the spare parts need to install it: flywheel, wiring harness, ECU, etc. Does anybody have a company or contact to buy these parts? Thanks a lot, I'm really worry because I've the engine and I couldn't find yet the parts needed.

Went on ring seating hellride today. Made about 10 hard pulls with the autotune feature on the MS3 doing its thing. Still struggling to get a nice surge free idle lower that 11-1200 rpm. Drove up and over hills with a constant temp of about 205 with one fan only working. The thing really starts to come alive at about 5000 rpm is all im gonna say. Only had nerve for 6000 rpm today. Dash gauge was in the 11.6-12.2 under full throttle/load. Honestly doing this with a laptop on your lap that the sun makes almost impossible to see, reading the speedo,tach and afr gauge with goggles on because there is no windshield is not exactly ideal. Probably going to drop the oil and cut open filter and put in some 5w30 Valvoline I have sitting in the corner for another 500 miles.
