My 440+6 in my 69 383-s fastback.

I searched long and hard for mine.

I had a spark plug wire that would occasionally get partially burned through. Started popping randomly as well. New plug wire and problem was fixed. Sometimes it is the easy stuff that causes problems.

Shipping costs are terrible, they will really take out your profit margin.

Compression check will give you an indication of engine health for starters.

I am not going to argue with Mr. Brewer! I think those weights are for the flywheel sold by 440 Source though and not a cast flywheel as stated by Mr. Brewer.

Option 3: Flywheel Balance Weight - Cast Crank

SEMA makes a product called RustMort that works really well to prep metal. Turns the red rust into a block oxide layer that is then painted over. Ihave prepped metal that I waited months to paint and it was still great.

Looked up the info, hoping for the best. None of the pictures of the pulley setups matched the situation I have. I believe all the engines had power steering so that didn't help much. I have an idler arm bracket and pulley already that does not appear to be a Mopar item as there are no part...

I don't have any paperwork for this car, so what it came with originally is impossible to tell. My dad owned the car for 15 years or so and was like that when he bought it. It is possible it was converted to manual steering for header clearance, I don't know.

Come on guys, manual steering does not have a power steering pump.

I have a small block 74 Cuda with AC and manual steering. It has a redneck engineered idler pully in place of the power steering pump pulley. Does anyone have a picture of the stock idler pulley bracket for a small block they can share with me, preferably a picture on the engine would be helpful.

When I converted my column, I found a floor shift steering column from a mid-eighties truck to rob the collars from, the ignition lock was slightly different on the inside, but looks exactly the same as a E-body one when assembled. I have also seen where a person cut the nub off the column...

I agree, throw a known good carb on it for the break in.
