With the headers it is extremely hard to get to about half of the plugs. I just wanted a baseline and may...
Somewhere along the line I acquired a fairly hefty chrome plated transmission pan. When I went to put it on my '64 cable shift big block TF it was too shallow. Hitting the filter. I re-used the beat up OE pan. My question being, are the later model TF transmissions different in their pan...
The timing cover, water pump gaskets are what I am assuming is blue Garlock. The pan and valve covers are cork. Should I use anything on the cork gasket to aid in sealing or not? I didn't use anything on the Garlock as it is commonly used in industrial applications without any additional sealant...
Putting the crank back in after polishing the journals and used plastigage to check clearances. Everything looked ok except for the #1 main. Looked at the old bearing and compared and didn't notice any visual anomalies. Went ahead and lightly scraped and crocus clothed the #1 main bearing a...
Although I kept the old valve springs and retainers in their removed orientation and location I decided to order new springs and retainers. They are so cheap my time is more valuable than the time spent cleaning the old parts. I have looked the springs over pretty closely and it doesn't appear...
Right and left. In the many times I have moved the heads around I have obliterated my left and right markings. Is there any way of identifying which side they came from if they display the same casting numbers? Rocker arms/shafts have been removed.
440 out of a 1966 Chrysler New Yorker and AFAIK original heads to the block have a casting # of 2406516-8
Research indicates these heads were used on 413's and B blocks but were they OE for the 440 in the first year?
On B440. I am in the process of cleaning the block for a dingle ball rebuild with new cam/Lifters/pushrods/cam bearings/main and rod bearings/rear seal/gasket set and timing set. Pistons/bores/heads are being left alone except possibly valve seals. My intention is to be able to drive the car on...
Was strolling through summit and noticed on some of their kits it says the lifters wont work pre 1968. Others don't show the warning. Anyone know off the top of their head what the difference(s) are?
Thanks
I have a question and don't slap me down too hard. On a RB what keeps the camshaft from slipping forward and out of the bearings? Distributor gear, timing chain....I know some cam's from differing makes/applications utilize a retainer.
As I noted in another post my 1968 vintage SG 741 is leaking around the pinion bearing. I went ahead and pulled the nut and flange. The flange surface has a mark from the seal but no groove or wear pattern. My mistake was I didn't look at the tech help before I removed the nut/flange so don't...
I bought this rear end assembly from a guy many years ago and installed it. It's been driven about 1/2 mile and on and off a trailer a couple times in the last 15 years. I am re-acquainting myself with the car as I start piecing it back together. The casting says it's a 741 with the tags saying...
