    Maybe...

    A update on my post.. https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/what-the-heck-am-i-looking-at.156453/ Fingers crossed anyway. Rebuilt my new Mallory dual point, changing the advance from the H type. Still won't start, but it will try to, firing off, but refuses to run. Checked...

    What the heck am I looking at?

    After sitting for about a week, put a little gas down both four-barrels, and fired it up. This is a 440, with a crossram. Pulled the car to the front of the shop, to warm up a little. First thing I noticed was water out the tail pipes, little puddle out of each. Ran the engine up, to clear the...

    440 MW clone tuning/plug read

    Just turned 500 miles on my 64 Sport Fury. Motor is a 69 440, MW clone, with a 63 model crossram, with a pair of 1405 600 cfm Eddys. Just pulled the plugs for a look, and a compression test, showing 150 psi all, except one 145 read. I admit, my first 440 (like that's any dif), first crossram...

    What do I do now, Ma?

    Or, first time for everything! Ran my 440 a few days ago, enough to let it fully warm up, and see how much the oil pressure dropped when hot. It was good, cold 50lbs, at temp, settled at 35lbs. After, noticed a little oil on the floor, at the back of the motor. Crap! So, without Ma's advice...

    Problem with p/s pump bracket

    On my 69 model 440, I've checked the part numbers on, water pump housing, p/s pump, and the brackets for the p/s pump. All are listed the right application. I've also gone through 4 separate bracket sets, 3 the same type two-piece, 2 of those repops, and the one installed now, a good(?) used...

    Driveshaft question

    Looking for thoughts/opinions on my fit. How much would a minimum spline engagement be for a slip in yoke? What I have is a 67 BB 727, 29/30 output shaft...hooking up to a 67 model 8 3/4" rear, with a 1330 yoke (what was on it), type that takes straps. Question on that shortly. Had a...

    7290 slip yoke

    Who makes a decent 7290 slip yoke, what brand? Yeah, know some will say I'm going wrong, but gotta look at the $ bit, too. First thing is trying to avoid the Chinese crap! What I have (kinda stuck with it), is need a shaft made. Axle yoke, 67 8 3/4", winds up a 1330. Already ordered a...

    Crossram kickdown rod comment

    This is just so I don't lead anyone astray... Asked a ? about that, while back, and made a comment on adjusting the kickdown rod, from trans to the crossram bellcrank. To make my comment clear...it all depends! Clear as mud? Bottom line is understanding 'when' the kickdown lever on the...

    Looking for opinions on carb size

    Since there are quite a few of you that have/are running crossrams, asking... Would have rather found AFBs, but considering the hunt, and work to restore them, suppose picking Edelbrocks an option. Question I'm looking at is, 500cfm, or 600cfm, any drawbacks on the 600cfm 1405 Edelbrocks for...

    Manifold dummy questions

    Since I flat don't know... 63 crossram. Questions are, one, the pipe threads hole on the backside. Breather port? Two, at each of the mounting bolt cap holes, are cast numbers/letters. Is there a meaning for them? Just asking...

    Cast 'addon' crank pulley?

    Asking because the 440 Magnum I had gotten my hands on, was supposed to be untouched. It had already been pulled, sitting on the floor, though from block #s, came out of a 69 Coronet R/T. Motor sure appeared stock, cleaned-up .020 in the bores. Ma use those cast pulleys on stock motors...

    How will this effect things...

    Long story short - a friend of a friend, years ago I gotta add, built my third member for me. Deal was for my 67 8 3/4, change to 3.55 gears, plus suregrip. So, of course, been building things for the car, motor, and such, going by 3.55 gears. Finally fixed my rear leak, my fault, had the...

    Feel fairly stupid asking, but...

    Considering mounting up my 63 model crossram, to the 440 I'm building. (Yes, know all about the ports, etc.) Kind of a dumb question...but. Just mocking things up, set the intake in place, looked fairly good. Add both block and heads (906s) have been shaved .005 each. Just intake to bare...

    Rant or Right?

    Wasn't going to, but what the heck. Maybe I've been out of the picture too long. Anybody use Mopar's .028 shim head gaskets? Just curious if what I got my hands on is the normal P part? For each head gasket, it's 2 shims, riveted together at three tabbed locations, to add up to .028 (actually...

    AMD Valve Covers

    Just a fyi... Finally got the ones I ordered before xmas. Fresh off the boat. Anyway, the pair I bought was 64-65 BB covers. They look good. Only complaint, though no big deal, are the bolt holes. Appears they need to put a little sharpener on the die punch that pokes the holes. Punched...

    Anyone use teflon guide seals?

    Just wondering...and if so, had any probs with them? Guess my old ways are showing. Teflon guide seals are all I've ever used, always good results, never any problems. But, like anything else, it's 'these' days now. Yeah, I know...stuck in the 60s... Wondering if the quality of the seals...

    Clevite rod bearing ?s

    Have a set of Clevite 77 rod bearings, CB-527 P-20. Mounting them into my rods, noticed something, so need to ask. Maybe there's something going on that's new to me. There's no difference between upper and lower shells. Of course, all have the locking tab. What has me thrown, is on the...

    Just another 440

    And just need to sound off a little... Maybe rant. Just now digging into my 440, man, closest thing to a POS I've gotten next to. Don't take it wrong. 440 is a damn fine motor. Just mine has the POS stamped all over it. Well used and abused. Sure didn't help, whoever had this thing, before I...
