I would ask my Uncle Norm a question, and he always answered the same- “Pig’s Nose”. That was 60 years ago. I recently asked my cousins about this, and they said they have had to put up with it their entire lives.
505, 9.8cr, prepped and bowl blended rpm heads, original Torker/Holley 850vs, 1-7/8x3 headers, 232/237-112, .483/.483 HFT cam, Mancini/HS rockers.

My prediction...
Biggest electrical issues with our old mopars are the bulkhead connectors, they get oxidized making poor, weak connections. Take them apart kleen the contacts, coat with dielectric grease and reinstall...

Just a note that "Streetside Classics" is in Dallas/Fort Worth and Tampa. That is to say...
Earth Motorcars in Dallas sold (or traded) the car to Streetside Classics in Dallas and then they shipped the car to Streetside Classics in Tampa.
The heads should flow .600 and the springs good for .600 , but a .490 cam? Leaving good power on the table. And I don't mean rowdy large duration power.
Another decent rocker setup that isn't terribly priced are the Mancini aluminum made by Harland Sharpe. They don't have needle bearings like the more expense HS's. I also think your power estimate is on the light side. I would guess a solid 550 hp and ft.lbs.
