Hey guys, I've seen many video's of engine dyno's (i.e. Nick's Garage) where engines with a similar cam or bigger compared to mine can idle smooth and have a decent vacuum. (my cam is 238/244 @ .050" .572/.576" lift and get 7-8" vacuum at 900 rpm idle) Only realizing that those engines on the...

Hey guys, Has anyone ever seen any listing of casting numbers of the 727/904 valve body sections? I am looking for a spare valve body and the one offered to me has numbers that seem to be '72 year. Mine is a '69 and as far as i know the '69-'71 are same. I did some Googling but did not find any...

Hey guys, Just looking for some people with experience with Hughes Performance torque converters. I have tried to contact them 2x to get some recommendation for a torque converter for my car but have not heard from them. Not sure they are closed or out of business? Since i do not have the...

Hey guys, A while ago i checked what type rear axle ratio i had and if there was a sure grip in there or not. I found a 4.10:1 ratio and seen both wheels spinning the same direction when rotating 1 by hand, trying to hold the other locks up both so i was convinced there is a sure grip in there...

Hey guys, As i had rocker shafts removed i decided it was a good idea to redo the hydraulic lifter pre-load after reinstalling the shafts. I noticed that some of the lifters do not feel quite as solid as the others. After setting zero lash with the adjustment screw on the rocker i give it a...

Hey guys, I am looking for a replacement timing chain kit for my 440, i was considering to replace the camshaft but since it now runs well with the Holley EFI i think it will no longer be needed to replace. I've come across so many topics where quality issues are observed (not just timing...

Hey guys, Need some advice from the transmission experts over here! I had some reads about 727 overhauls and potential upgrades on the forum. Planning next winter to pull the tranny out and do a full dismantle, inspection and rebuild. The transmission sits in an "early" '69 Coronet R/T with a...

Hey guys, I have been working on my '69 440 engine, i had a some issues with the engine and decided to dismantle the engine and check my camshaft as i did not know what was in there. After that it went downhill quite fast, found the camshaft set advanced 1 tooth on the cam gear etc. (full story...

Hey all, I am doing some work on my 440 engine, as i will have to remove and replace all valve springs i wanted to replace the valve stems seals as well. Engine is not using much oil and barely smokes so the old ones are not bad but anyway better to install new ones i guess. I had a engine seal...

Hey guys, I am going to replace my engine mounts, the old mounting bolts on K-member side are changed out by some metric bolts with lock nuts, thread inside the nut is drilled out so i don't know the size. As far as i came these bolts are 7/16"-14 x 3-1/2" long, correct? I don't want to modify...

Hey guys, In my '69 Coronet R/T i have a 440, which has been rebuild in the past but i have no specs about it. The engine has a bit rough idle and low vacuum (10Hg) so i want to find out what camshaft specs it has in there. By knowing the specs i might not find the exact part number (who knows...

Hey guys, The other day i had removed the oil pan for the first time since i own the car. I had some rattling noise and was unable to locate it initially, so i had dropped the oil and thought it's wise to have a look in the pan to see if there is something wrong inside. The rattling noise...

Hey all, I am going through the manual to set my kick down linkage correct. Recently replaced my old double pumper carb for a new Holley Street Avenger, and want to set things right as the kick down did work but the linkage was missing it's spring and just sits halfway the slotted bracket which...

Hey all, I've got a set of new motor mount isolators lying around for my '69 Coronet with 440 engine, the other day i noticed the currently installed appear not to be in the best shape and i would like to replace them. Is this possible to replace them 1 at the time without engine removal? Guess...

Hey all, At the moment my car has an additional cooler for the transmission oil. This flows from transmission, trough the bottom of the radiator, exits from the other side and continues trough a hose to the extra cooler sitting in front of the radiator and after returns to the transmission...

Gents, Today after some heavy throttling on the road i noticed there was some oil drops on the passenger side crankcase breather dripping on the header causing a smell. (reason for opening the hood and check where the smell came from) Anyway, this is the current setup: Passenger side valve...

Hey guys, I have a '69 Coronet 440, temperature meter is always showing very low. I've checked the engine with a infrared gun and find the cilinder heads are around 180* F. But the temp sensor of the car barely shows 120* F, my additional installed temperature gauge (VDO) shows 104* F. After...

Hey all, Got a bit of an issue here with my new fuel pump (Carter M6903) for my '69 440 Coronet R/T. There is plenty fuel coming from the supply line, once i release the suction hose it is pouring out. Using a vacuum pump and pull the fuel through the pump and filter also shows plenty fuel...

Gents, Today, looking in the mirror after making a small burnout i observed 2 beautiful black tire marks... So after i came home i lifted the ***-end and checked the rear axle to see if there is a LSD installed. Both wheels rotate in the same direction and when blocking either side wheel will...
