Thanks all. I guess I will have to pull up the console and carpet.

Hi all, I installed sound deading mat and new carpet in my '66. I found the seat belt mounting points. The problem is the driver's inside (tunnel) mount. It's the L shaped bracket, but the bolt does not catch on any threads. I tried a longer bold, no different. Is there a capture nut or...

Hi all, I have some 440 engine parts. The parts are located in Glendale CA, local pick up only, no shipping. ‘516’ heads Edelbrock Torker II single plane manifold Radiator, no leaks, b-body Cast iron exhaust manifolds with down pipes Chrome valve covers Cam and lifters. No idea what the cam...

Heads up: as you would expect the stiffer torsion bars are a larger diameter and could rub against exhaust down pipes or other junk.

I got the 1.03 and Bilstien shocks. I am quite happy with them. Later I did order new adjusters because I felt it was dropping. I don't think that was the case, more that I needed to put more pre-load on the driver's side.

When fitting the intake manifold, no gaskets or valley pan it rocked. Then I noticed right rear was hitting the block. A little filling on the manifold and is sat flat on the heads. So I was able to use just the valley pan.

So yes and no. That explains why I was having problems figuring it out. Thanks. I need a keyed source for electric choke and electric fan relay. I have new wiring harnesses and am hoping to keep things stock looking and with as little hacking as possible. I do have a Pertronix distributor...

Does the wiper motor on a '66 Charger have key on "run" 12v even with the wipers are off? I have been reading many posts, but not finding a definitive answer. Also my car is in pieces so I can test it out. Thanks.

I am going through my '66 Charger and in replacing the engine wiring harness, I found the amp meter wires in the plug had melted and been by-passed. Since there is other hacking to the dash harness, I decided to buy a new dash harness. The car has factory AC and power windows. The stereo...

Using a 150cc syringe with water, the head chambers were about 80cc. The height of the external head bolt flanges is about 1". This weekend, I got the exhaust off, replaced the leaky gas tank, removed the WP, crank pulley/damper, and the rad. The crank bolt was down all the way and the washer...

I had to buy some assortment pack of self threading nuts to get ones that fit/work. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZMH9TYC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000COCTDK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I ordered one a few years ago. I didn't install it because it looks likes the spare is needed to support it. Since modern tires are usually too big, what are people using to support the trunk sub floor?

I got the Edelbrock package. The heads look really nice, they have 84cc chambers. All that puts me in the 8:1 comp ratio, which I am fine with. The ports are machined in about 1/4 inch, then the raw casting. Seems like there is a edge/lip at this point and a quick go over with a die grinder...

Good to know. I got my syringe ready. Also for science I will measure the 516 heads and post the volume

Thanks all. That helps. I appreciate everyone sharing their knowledge. I found a Edelbrock performer RPM head/cam/intake package for a bargain price of $2500 on Amazon, assuming it materializes and is genuine. Also ordered TTI headers and 2.5 inch exhaust. Eventually I will see about...

Bore 4.35 Top of piston to top of deck at BDC 3.94 Top of piston to top of deck at TDC 0.15 Flat top pistons I think the heads have been shaved down a bit, but I agree, likely not as low as 75cc. I wanted to get a feel for what I had to have a better feel for where I want to go. For example...

Hi all, Well my '66 Charger with a 440, showed exhaust gasses in the coolant. The engine was a mystery to me since it came with the car, and now the heads are off. It's '79 440 block, 516 heads (no porting), mild street cam (not yet removed), torquer II intake, cast iron "log" exhaust...

Thanks. I will run what I have and look into adjusting the vac advance amount. It's happy at 20 deg at idle and I need to run more tests for cruise and WOT.
