thank you for response, 35 degrees is what I was looking for, since I am still running about half tank of 87 octane I am bringing the initial up slowly. Also you are running 15 degrees centrifigal which with the high octane allows higher initial settings. I suspect if and when I get up to 10...

I have been advancing this 440 for some time now trying to find out what it likes. I started out with a full tank of 87 octane from last year when I pulled motor I am gradually replacing that with 92 octane. I am running closed chamber heads approx. 9.8-1 mild 222/[email protected] auto w/3.55 axle so...

I bumped the initial to 7 degrees as most of the fuel is 87 octane and adjusted linkage on the end barrels as they were only opening 85%. big change and it seems to be pulling very hard when I shift at 5500rpm...I am going to need to power time this as I do not not how much centrifigal my...

just got 440-6 pack on the road, many problems but although decent power I am dissapointed. here is the set up. 440 stock HP block, heads 516 with 2.14/1.81 valves milled .030, port matched to gaskets, major lump removed from exhaust ports, bowls opened up to bottom of valve seat, Hughes valve...

finally got 440-6 pack on the road thanks to Scott Prestons help with my many wiring issues. So far this car is not all I thought it could be although it seems to make decent power to 6000 rpm. This 6 pack set up is rife with problems,leaks,maladjusted parts. But now on its first maiden run the...

you are the first person to offer me some info...the dist is Mallory prestolite, NO POINT, I think it is some kind of photo cell. on the negative side of coil I have black ,green and I am sure this is correct as the car ran well before I took it apart and moved the loose alt around on the K...

yes this is a squareback alt. on the bottom threaded post there is a violet and black and since this was never removed it should be correct. Is this alt grounded by short wire to valve cover,I found wire in chasis that could be used for that. also coil wires were never removed and should be...

red, this was a fine running setup until I pulled motor apart. it has Mallory prestolite dist, red,green,brown going in, brown coming out and LOOSE, where does it go? I do not need to change anything I just need to attach another wire to back of alt if necessary, as of now I have loose wires...

I have had my motor torn apart for a month it is now all back together with all new machined parts,cam,6 pack setup. But now I have everything hooked up but the following wires which are all within 6" of alternator. Alternator was lying in chasis and moved around alot and wires probably came...

:drinkers: I just bolted on six pack set up , gas pedal operates fine with full throttle but kickdown plate slot is too short, and I have adjusted it as far as it will go. all linkage is from 4 bbl car. Now the slot needs to be about 2-1/2" longer to operate properly IF I have installed...

I have come up with a measurement of .245 on the studs (measured between the threads) and in measuring the supply at the store the only thing they had with that measurement was the #7-1.0 metric. I bought 10 but in putting them on the stud they seem to fit but are a little too lose on the...

metric? I can not tell by looking at it. this is a std 1967 #516 head, I have the 5/16" cap screws that is used in the sixth hole. the other 5 are what looks like 5/16" studs with approx 22 threads per inch. I have many different kinds of fasteners in my shop nothing comes close to this, did...

I do not see where anybody makes these anymore, my car is basically a antique with the 14" chrome magnums. what I would like is a 27" tall tire. the largest I see made is what I already have 225-70-14 and I can light these up through the first two gears. I know that the alternative would be to...

I have determined that the thread count is neither 20 per inch or 24 per inch , it seems to be 5/16", this head (516)has 5 studs ea holding rocker cover, I have a tremendous asst of fasteners but nothing works, would this be some kind of acorn nut or sheet metal type fastener, please help I am...

thank you

I am building a 440 now with the 516 closed chamber heads, I have used the 2.14 intakes , the 1.81 exhaust valves and opened the pockets to the bottom of valve seat, Ports were massaged, the exhaust is really bad with that lump just under the valve seat, I "massaged " that really well. milled...

taking off timing cover to replace with bigger cam. In removing small bolts that hold pulleys on, crank is turning. got pullys off, now I need to find a 1-1/4 socket..but this is a 440 car with a 727 since crank was turning in removing pullys how do I hold crank while trying to remove crank bolt...

just bought 68 Coronet RT 440 with 55,000 original miles. the sparkplugs were never changed. the sparkplug boots were permanently annealed to the sparkplug porcelin, had to cut them off. I noticed that although it is a HP block they have some kind of log manifold on it which is kind of big and...

or send to professional? this is for a 68 Coronet and it is fabric and from what I understand with bows. and from what I read elsewhere can be a trying experience. I would like to hear from people that have already tried it. I have 50 years experience restoring these but have never done...

I will not know what heads I have until I pull off the rocker covers, not working with original motor, supposed to be 1970- 440/375hp. What is the factory compr ratio for the 1967-1970 RB motors? the casting numbers on top near dist. is 440-C (block) the heads could be earlier and could even be...
