Also if it has all of the pro shafts and the three small u-joints post a pic of them. The factory Ramsey PTO joints are non existent and are require to clear the bottom of the frame where it hooks to the winch. A lot of folks have never seen them. Jim

It doesn't take much. Half a teaspoon should do the trick. Use a syringe.TheRebel wrote:This is also my first engine that has been sitting for a period of time. I plan to drain oil, new fuel filter, drain gas tank, clean carb. I believe I’ve heard something about dumping some atf down on top of the pistons? If so how much? I’m only 20, but I’d love to keep this wrenching addiction till I’m in the dirt. Thanks all for any and all advice!

You might also look at getting an oil pump primer. You said you were 20 and so I assume your experience level is still progressing and apologize if I am being too detailed. An oil pump primer is usually used on a new engine build to get the oil pump primed. This helps during the first engine startup to make sure the oil system works. Most oil pumps are driven off of the distributor in some fashion. I am not familiar with the 327 so someone will correct me if I am wrong. The way the primer usually works is you remove the distributor and insert the priming tool. A drill is attached to the priming tool. For the AMC 327 you want it spinning clockwise. You will want to use a 1/2" drill, it takes a lot of torque. Ideally you do this with the help of someone who hand spins the engine using a breaker bar on the crank. Leave the spark plus out to make cranking it easier. This will help get fresh oil into all of the bearings, lifters, etc.
