    Don’t even know where to begin

    Agree with Edebrock 650 AVS 2 for 360 V8 (my Edelbrock 800 is Made in USA. Big plus) Agree. That Edelbrock 1481 bracket is a must with an Edelbrock Carb. Still need Chrysler Throttle cable kickdown linkage adapter to install throttle cable and kickdown on 1481. 1481 and Chrysler adapter pictured...

    [FOR SALE] Mickey Thompson Valve Covers, Small Block, Aluminum

    Mickey Thompson small block valve covers, aluminum. They are straight and in excellent condition. I bought them to replace the valve covers on a 318 V8. I later removed the 318 V-8 from my 1966 Coronet and am installing a 440. I’m basically selling the valve covers to get my money back out of...

    actual need for ballast resistor with electronic ignition?

    Brown Wire is Start, 12 volts Blue wire is Run. 12 volts to ballast resistor, but then the ballast resistor reduces voltage to the ignition coil primary positive by 3-4 volts. ECU grounds coil and fires coil through grounding ignition coil primary negative. With Electronic Ignition, the...

    Rebuilt Alternator ???

    Looks like your alternator is one of the later square back models. It has 2 fields so they are isolated from ground. Usually the alternator grounds through the engine at the pivot bolt, where the spacer is. I can't give a reason for the bent ground stud, but my opinion is that you do not need...

    Remove the bolt and yes, you can hammer the spacer out, if it does not come out by hand

    318 engine issues

    Great job! Who knows? Maybe you'll tackle an engine oil filter or trans pan oil filter next. Agree on previous owner and backward install. Unlikely that any filter would last 51 years.

    Starting a rebuilt 440 thats been sitting

    I have a friend with a 413 (already broken in) and car was sitting for over 20 years. He turned over the engine with the starter, ignition coil wire disconnected, to oil the engine. Previously, he cleaned out the fuel tank and treplaced all fuel hoses. Then started the engine and it ran...

    [FOR SALE] 1971 Dodge D200

    New Home - CarTitles.com These guys claim to be able to get you a title for $329 in most cases. Sometimes you have to post a bond based on the purchase price. Personally, I avoid cars/trucks without title unless it comes from a state that does not issue titles for vehicles that old. With that...

    Ported Vac or Manifold Vac

    You are on the wrong track leaving vacuum advance connected to manifold vacuum. Mopar cars and trucks of our era were made with vacuum advance connected to ported vacuum, so that spark is not advanced at idle. Vacuum advance is designed to add timing advance when the vacuum is high, which...

    K-Member/K-Frame Measurements

    Appreciate the find, but I did not buy the 1970 Dart. That was a while ago. I was looking for info. PSA: I have ADHD Automotive Dismantling and Hoarding Disorder, so temptations like these must be avoided unless currently needed by a car I currently own. :lol:

    K-Member/K-Frame Measurements

    Thank you both. Appreciate the center to center bolt hole measurements. I was considering buying a 1970 slant 6 Dart a while back, but passed. With those measurements and pics from Schumacher in hand, I should be able select a correct K-frame and to convert a slant-6 to V8 if and when I run into...

    K-Member/K-Frame Measurements

    If purchasing a V8 K-Frame for a 1970 A-Body, is there a measurement I can use to know whether a loose V8 K-frame is from an A-Body or a Larger Chrysler B or E Body? There are some differences, but if I had a width measurement for an A-Body K-Frame that might save a lot of time. (No, this is...

    69 Barracuda 408 Blue Print

    Sounds like case/housing is not damaged, so your 904 can be rebuilt. Maybe get a quote from a local shop to compare to the Streetfighter price. Local shop = local help if you have a problem. And no shipping costs. Streetfighter transmission. $2300 is not a bad price at TCI. Link below. Probably...

    69 Barracuda 408 Blue Print

    Hi Mike, Nothing wrong with running a 904 trans if it's properly built. I suspect the stock trans had not been rebuilt since going in the car 56-58 years ago. Streetfighter is good. A reputable local trans shop might be found by calling a local machine shop and asking for a rec. Or you can check...

    Big block / small block Rocker question

    I had the same question, so I compared big block stamped steel rockers on right to small block on left in pictures below. 440 Big Block rockers are significantly longer from push rod indent to valve tip than 318 small block rockers. Also, Distances are different from center of fulcrum to valve...
