    not charging

    Is the bulkhead fitting in good shape? That is a pet peeve of pretty much all MoPar gurus. If it's the original 59 year old bulkhead then that would be my first stop. Make sure there's nothing burnt up..

    11 PSI fuel pressure at the carb

    Run a stock over the counter pump, they're designed to run at that pressure and the price tag isn't influenced by a name....IMO. You never mentioned what your application is.. Street, strip, slalom or all race? If your just knocking around the street with the occasional "exhibition of speed" a...

    dodge charger falls and stalls slightly when cold. Won't rund when hot.

    Wow your A/F goes to 20:1 30:1? Dude that's way, way lean. When you give it throttle it goes from a happy 13:1 to over 20:1 for a split second correct? But the A/F corrects it's self? Haven't had the opportunity to play with the Sniper system but I'm thinking check the fuel map (if your system...

    Aluminum radiator

    My Cold Case fit pretty good after I "adjusted" the mounting holes. Had to fabricate some brackets to adapt the shroud... for me it wasn't a big deal but as far as this being a direct bolt in, not so much. They sell a shroud for this rad but the factory one works just fine.

    440 valve failure

    That my friend wouldn't be wise given the amount of possible shrapnel in the engine from that train wreck. If it were my car (nice ride by the way) I'd suck it up, yank that bullet and do it right before anymore carnage happens and that bullet becomes a boat anchor.....my 2c. Overall this is...

    440 valve failure

    Thats a huge bag of suck right there brother... hope for the best and expect the worst. If your lucky, the valve kissing the piston far enough away from the ring lands that your bore didn't get damaged, and the block won't be needing a sleeve. Like PRND21 said above "check the rods and crank"...

    440 engine rear down. Anything worth keeping?

    Since you live on an island, keep all of the stock parts, someone would be interested I'm sure. Going with a stroker, the windage tray may have clearance issues but the rest of the tin can be re-used if your going for the "it's stock" look. Obviously you need to keep and re-use all the front...

    Coolant from exhaust header stud bolt

    Yup one of my pet peeves with Mopar heads, what mental midget decided to have exhaust bolts strike water is beyond me... kinda like the guy who designed square nuts :fool: If you cleaned the threads really well and applied some sealant and it still leaks then it is a good chance you've got a...

    You can't put a 383 in a Dart...

    Gee whiz I wonder how many lives were changed after a ride in a big block MoPar? I remember when my infection happened, went for a beer run while we were working on the roundy round car... 70 Challenger RT, 440 6pac, 4 spd, convertible, Hemi orange w/blk wht interior, a day I will never forget...

    Good Source for re-chroming bumpers.

    I reached out to Ogden Chrome a few months ago to re-chrome my front bumper...$1400.00 and 6-8 month turn around. They do an awesome job but man they're not cheap

    Rear end noise 8.75 .. 741

    If your going to change it all out, then why not just get the whole package. I got mine from Randy's Ring & Pinion with 3:73 ratio/ 489 (big bearing case).

    Brake light switch - clean/repair?

    I cleaned mine with an ultrasonic cleaner but if you don't have access to one use some electrical contact cleaner.
