:poke:Dang John....picking on us little guys!! That 440 was built in 1990 and it's last race - yes the very last time it was run - was winning the Heavy ET bracket final at the old defunct Detroit Dragway!. That was back in 1993!! Hasn't been started since but may see some love in the next 12...

Outstanding and congrats John!!

Here, here, here....I have one of those in my Charger's 440! 292/.509 variety.

Congrats to you - what fun you will have! Great car!!

Yes, and the REAL problem is nobody runs all the tests to determine what these old engines really require given all of the mods done to them by each of us!

Pretty darn close on insurance - both home and car. We pay a bit less for home (includes screened pool and detached garage) and will pay a bit more for car (& truck). But I'm in Citrus County - 30 miles s/w of Ocala, 8 miles from the Gulf.

Thx - I get over to Viera near you where my son lives several times a year. Another beautiful area!!

I don't think I necessarily need a colder plug but, if I want to add some spark, it should not hurt it either. I worked for an OEM on engines my whole life. Always target to get the coldest plug that doesn't foul under the worst conditions, be it granny starts and drives or repeated cold...

That's our stompin' grounds - c'mon down!

I'm another Florida newbie but have been coming here for a week at a time for many years. Those weeks have been at all times of the year hence why we knew we would love it! We closed on our new house in Sep 2023. We live in Citrus County, about 90 min north of Tampa. 8 miles inland from the...

No seriously, I'm interested in your rationale for a hotter plug. I try to leave no stones unturned when I'm asking for input.

Forgot to add.... The torque conv slip calculates out to about 6%-7%. This is an 8" ATI TreeMaster converter that I ordered from them after discussing the engine with them. My original target was about 4700 stall but it actually stalls at 5000 (and I'm glad it does!). I shift the car at 6200...

I also appreciate your input as I know you race quite a bit here in Florida. Perhaps one day I'll go over to Orlando Speedworld (think you race there?) instead of Gainesville to check it out. It's a bit over 100 miles which has kept me away so far! As for fuel, you're spot on: I try to go...

Curious why you suggest a hotter plug? If I'm reading the ground strap correctly, I'm fairly tight on timing using pretty much the standard heat range plug as these AR3924 Autolite's compare to the old Champion RJ12YC's (or RC12YC's - you get the point!). The burned clean area goes around the...

Never saw one if these before. 1963. So ugly it was cute!!
