Took my '66 out for a drive and a nice, soapy bath today. I've really missed driving this car! Gotta get that slow leak fixed on the LF tire, as it only had five pounds of air this morning.

383 were available with 2 bbl. Never heard of 413-440 having a 2 bbl. The later 383 & low performance 440s had a 625 cfm Carter AVS. Performance 440s had a 750 cfm AVS. Both excellent carbs.

...And points that need adjusting, wear out & retard the ign.

^^^^^^^. Very true. The crap in the atmosphere settles on the battery & can certainly be conductive, especially with moisture & high humidity. This could drain the battery, but this would proably take days or weeks.

Having the oil holes facing up [ incorrect ] just means the oil will take a bit longer to flow out of the shafts. The shafts in post #36 look in better shape than some shafts that had the oil hloes correctly orientated.

Okay, the OE's in my Superbird's 440 are now 55.5 years old. Checked them last year and they're still all in place and doing their job! I had a couple in my 383 Bee that died by 2016 and replaced them all. Engine rebuilt in 1976.

You could NOT get a worse seal than the dumbrella seal. They go hard with heat, crack up. Use proper Viton seals which require machining the guides. The best ones have a garter spring aroud the v/stem which compensates for the seal wearing. The section that fits over the guide is metal clad...

It is very easy to machine your existing dist to take an O ring. I have done it. After removing the breaker plate, vac adv etc, remove the roll pin from the shaft & remove shaft. Body is ready for machining.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Very good reasons to stick to the factory wiring & let the aftermarket keep their wiring packages... Yes, bat [+ ] cable goes direct to starter. I think you need to post the M&H [ Mix & Hope ] cct diagram.

Time to add another appropriate video.... Be advised the man has some spicy words for engineers...

This pretty much describes mine, except the previous owner used Krylon paint.

Never saw a 2bbl on a passenger car 440. The exception may be an industrial application.

Before sending my '69 Charger off for restoration, my intention was to maintain the original wiring -- which was not in bad shape -- so I took photos and marked the original connections and components. However, after reading about some of the wiring fires others have experienced, I decided for...

If you'll allow a couple of non-Chryco entries...

My car has one respray, outside surfaces only, and it doesn't qualify. It even has the original trunk sticker and spare tire scribbles from the dealership. Matching numbers, although the motor has to be rebuilt. That's about as close as you are ever going to get and not be a survivor.

Hell yeah. That's the spirit. I have no kids or nieces and nephews or really care about anyone at all so I have no idea who will inherit my stuff but it'll probably be something more like you are doing.

As I need some capital for the 65, it's going to get back burnered for a bit. I started moving some stuff out of the area, removed the mufflers and mid pipe, dropped the engine/trans out today. Tomorrow I'll get some wheels on the back and bolt my dolly onto the front. Some friends are coming...

A friend of mine built this ramp truck on a newer Freightliner chassis He had to widen and lenghthen the hood to cover the powertrain. Also widened the front fenders. He also built the pickup on the flatbed. It has a 5.7 Hemi in it. This it what corn farmers do in the winter, when they can't get...
