    Fighting with this 440 idle!

    OP did a follow up to his issue in post 23.

    Fighting with this 440 idle!

    The compensator is usually found on a/c applications.

    Fighting with this 440 idle!

    If you feel that you have the most output with 34° total, yes, you could bump the initial up and have less mechanical.

    Fighting with this 440 idle!

    Exactly. If he's at 34° at 3k the mechanical advance is just about maxed out if he's using the 18° slots. Using that setting there will be little, if any, more advance between 3k and 5k based on his initial/mechanical setup.

    Fighting with this 440 idle!

    4429's don't use manifold vacuum for the advance, only ported. Mine runs fine with timing at 18/18. I cured a slight off idle stumble with my AVS2 by swapping the stock Edelbrock discharge nozzles with a spare one from a parts 4429. The necked down tubes were too restrictive for the needed flow.

    Any pinball fans in Phoenix attending Zapcon?

    Just picked up a '78 Bally Playboy. Decent original needing only a new mpu board, rubbers, and cleaning. Pretty much the same build quality as my '58 Seeburg 201. Love the old school stuff.

    Federal Power Steering Pump 1968 Dodge Charger R/T

    The steering box fitting size is larger from '69-up than '68-down.

    Federal Power Steering Pump 1968 Dodge Charger R/T

    The mounting should be the same, but the '69 may have the o-ring type fitting for the pressure hose vs. the flared fitting on '68-down. You may want to confirm that.

    Fighting with this 440 idle!

    Sounds like the secondaries may not be fully closing. When it hangs up in high idle, manually verify that the secondaries are fully seated and see if it changes anything or stays the same.

    Fighting with this 440 idle!

    When the idle gets up to about 1500 did you verify that the linkage is in fact resting against the stop screw?

    Choke Tang....Chokes 101!

    Logically thinking, I would rather have my choke pulling open and being held open by mechanical means rather than hoping it opens by gravity, especially if there is any dirt, debris, or corrosion in the choke shaft preventing any free movement. I can honestly say I have never had any choke...

    Choke Tang....Chokes 101!

    The op's choke has the bracket above the coil tang. Mine has the bracket below the tang and the keyed end of the choke rod is above the tang, sandwiching it. This ensures that the rod travels with whatever position the coil is in, hot or cold. Been working perfectly that way for nearly the 40...

    Choke Tang....Chokes 101!

    Take a look at your choke assemblies when you get home, while holding it, heat it up until the rod drops all the way down, then see what happens when you try to pull it back up with the coil fully expanded.
