    Re-Rebuilding the 440-493 in a 1970 Charger

    Looks a tick over 60, yes (gauge numbers being 0, 40 midway and 80 to the far right).

    Re-Rebuilding the 440-493 in a 1970 Charger

    I've only owned 3 5.7's so not exactly a representative sample - but the '04 pickup is pushing 200k and still shows middle of gauge pressure, whatever that is (it's a pre-MDS engine). The '12 Charger R/T (MDS, oh no! :) ) is at 110k miles and indicates around 42-43psi at idle to this day. I've...

    Re-Rebuilding the 440-493 in a 1970 Charger

    According to the FSM, "normal" pressure is 45-65 psi @ 1000 RPM for the Mopar big block. Honestly, I don't see anything alarming with what pressures are displayed in Post 1038 myself. The Driven HR5, by most any testing/review articles I've seen, is close to or is THE best stuff to run in these...

    Don't use the supplied plastic tubing for the mechanical gauge if you go that route.... not that I'd know anything about such things. :)

    Looking for advice

    Yessir - eats rubber lines and such. Come to find out, it isn't even better for the environment - but the corn industry made out like a bandit.

    Bought a k car

    Ours sure did. Looked pretty much like this one: Family of 6 needed a little room... Riding in the back of that thing, we begged for Pop to put the window down, even though the exhaust fumes would about kill us from that 383. :) I'm convinced that listening to that thing burble down the...

    Hagerty shows $129k for a concourse '69 R/T + a 15% bump for the SE. Dude is trying hard to get all that Roger Gibson money back. He ain't gonna.

    Is that a "ding" in the head or a gasket pushing out?

    Edelbrock 1913 ( AVS2 800 )

    The 800cfm AVS2 is my plan for Fred's 440 as well; everything I've seen on them online is positive as far as reviews and such go. Glad to see some of you like it as well. With the 440 in Fred being quite tame (other than the usual purpleshaft cam and headers, etc.) I'm hoping the AVS2 will prove...

    The 67 got a new battery today.

    Been fortunate with batteries around here over the years; I'm convinced there's no real "good ones" left out there, not like in olden times anyways. The tractor (20 years +) has had only one replacement; keep in mind, it sits out in the cold in winters, too! Little Japanese diesel apparently...
