And you replaced the module with the kit right?

I would think as long as you buy the same style flex plate you should be good. Some engines are internally balanced and some externally.

What wire are you using?...Also what gas mixture?

Something bizarre going on.... :-

According to my brother who is a certed welder the metal was getting to hott and piping while welding and that's why I was getting the popping and funky chasers that would rise out of the weld? When it was turned down I could see good penetration and was getting good lines and they all got 3 good smacks with a 12 pound sledge so their solid.


What seems funny? I have no clue really about welding.

So I dropped the heat to c and left the feed alone and this is what I got

Thanks for the feed back. Reason its so big is I went over the first weld because I had the feed to slow but the other 4 came out alright. Im no welder as you can tell. I just try. Im using a little 135 lincoln set on D 3ish. More like 3 1/8 and the gas is set to about 10 psi. Sound about right for 3 1/16 plate

I use a vacuum pump but I pull the dipstick slide tube out of the pan insert so I can stick a bigger piece of tube in there. Or you can do it like my friend and just pull the drain bolt and put a bucket by the plug. Then scrub all the oil out of the bilage.

Before I put the motor in my boat im gonna put a fumoto drain valve in place of the drain bolt and put a quick connect fitting on it that way all I have to do is lift the bow connect the hose and run it through the plug hole into a bucket.

On every gm style hei I have i never use it but I do change the springs on the mechanical advance to a lighter spring. When using the lighter springs I drop the timing to 12* at idle opposed to 15* with the firmer springs.
