"some things just go better with more horsepower"

Thanks for the info keep em comin'. I'm gonna go with the 8 3/4, have one in my 65 Cuda with a 355 posi, it truely is where the rubber meets the road. I'll have to demension out the engine bay and the 440 to see about space. the car is in storage in New Mexico right now, may be over New Years...

I've moved to East Mesa, but been here for 38 yrs. Daughter and son in law live out by u. try to make the car show at the pavilions, it's a lot of fun. If I can get mine to start I'll see ya there

The wife and I recently puchased a 1964 Dart GT to restore. As fate would have it I also scored on a rebuilt running 440 six pack (with trans $500, lucky me). So, been researching the internet to see if it is possible to put it in the dart. Looks like modified K frame, 9" rear end, bigger...

Eureka!! I've found it (I think). Dirty connectors and two loose wires on the firewall wiring harness. I carefully removed the pins (you can squeeze them with a pair of bent needle nose and pull them out from the outer side) and wire brushed them, they were pretty bad, two on the lower harness...

Thanks I'll check it out, yes it's electronic, do you know how to test the pickup? By the way nice axes, I've got 4 Fenders from 1972 thru 76 and a Mike Tobias custom 5 string...

Back in sept. I had an issue with the mysterious " engine no spark for no apparent reason". Then as if by magic it would go away. Thanks to some good advice from 67Dart273 and trailbeast I seemed to have remedied the problem, but now it's back with a vengence. This is what happens. I let the...

I've changed my speedo gear down to a 16 tooth and am still off about 10-12 mph @ 65. Does anybody know of a way to calibrate the actual speedometer? There is a brass nut, behind it a small lever that holds the gage needle spring, I'm thinking there is to much tension on the spring and should...

Hey, I found one v-8 badge that's in good shape but needs re-painted. If you want it let me know and we'll figure something out.

I may have a couple of badges for your car let me check. the passenger mirror is rare and hard to find without $$$. I have one but it looked funky so I took it off. had mine since the 80's and am almost done. Laysons are good but pricey, and there return policy sucks... Try Year One. Let me know...

Great Guys, thanks for all the info. I'm off to the mountains this weekend but will hit it and give you feedback when I return.

Yes it cranks fine but has no spark and yes, I do have a manual battery disconnect on the neg side. When it sits I do have it disconnected

It's a Summit with all Chrysler brains and ECU. The distributor checks out.

Here we go again. Third time for this issue. If I let my cuda set for more than 3 weeks, it won't start. No spark. Then over a period of time it will magically fix it self and zoom. As long as you start it every week, it will, but if you let it sit for 3 or more weeks, no spark. And then over a...

thanks I've got ATF-4 in it but it's synthetic and I've heard not so good for older trannys.

1965 push button in the dash A904. What's the best fluid? ATF 4? Dexron? Type F Royal Purple? Too many choices not enough good answers. Help!!!

What to put in my 1965 push button in the dash 904A. Dexron? ATF 4? Type F?

My dash voltage limiter has gone to the heavens in my 65 cuda. It's built into the fuel gauge and both the temp and fuel gauges read low new fuel sending unit ohms out correctly. I did some looking around on the net and found out it's a regulated power, either 5 volts or 9 volts. Anybody out...

Does anybody know what the correct voltage output for the voltage limiter is on a 65 v8? I've seen 5 volts and 9 volts on the internet, my limiter is built into the fuel gauge and its' had it, both the fuel and temp gauges read low. I have a 5v chip ready to replace it with but I don't want to...

VEERRRRY NICE !!! had mine since 1978. Finally restored to the paint. "Life get's in the way"...

A 318 will go right in I have a 65 cuda with a 66 318 in it 904a trans push button in the dash. Seriously, check the valve train out first, if it wuz me I'd keep the comando in it if at all possible, if you swap out try to get a 68 or older block, the newer ones are LA blocks and are stroked a...

The cam you described is a good one. I have the comp cam XE262H in my 66 318. It has those specs, and in my little old cuda, its a screamer. Also as I repeat from earlier threads, you want power and speed?, start at the back and work you way forward. Try a set of 3:23s in there, except for gas...

Think I got it, timing up to 12 degrees btdc helped the low idle in gear vacuum, but the culprit was a stuck or sticking primary throttle valve. It went into its surge issue after running 10 minutes or so, took off the air cleaner and tapped on the valve body covers and zoom, the left one was...

F.Y.I. I got 10 acres outside of Cripple Creek, the wife was raised in the Springs.

10 degrees btdc. It's a Crane cam that's just slightly over stock no overlap, I'll get the book out for the specs. Funny thing is that I haven't had this problem earlier, when I first got it running all was good no idle issues, just a little lower idle vacuum which I attributed to the slightly...

Try this one out for motor head fun. I'm an Engineering lab tech for an engines and systems company in PHX. I help design, build, and the fun part test new parts and engine concepts for all type of gas turbine and fan engines. Currenty working on a 3000 shaft hp fan engine for a helicopter. I'd...

Yeah, I ain't surprised, that is next after I check the float settings (again). I've had a 65 cuda with a 66 318 in it since 1978. drove it every day til I parked it to restore it in 90. Took all the hot rod stuff off and replaced it all with as much mopar as I could find, even down to the low...

O.K. Been working on my 65' cuda for--ever. On the road, runs great, fixing the last little things, and now I've got an idle surge I can't figure out how to fix. 300-400 rpm surge at running temp, not rhythmic, vacuum fluxes from 12-15 inhg. Otherwise the engine runs great on the road. Been thru...
