Does MSD offer a system with advance options? I never searched as I always had advance capable distributors. As I stated earlier, I used HEI module with aftermarket mount and a Ford truck open frame coil (cheap), in fact the whole system is cheap. The carb and electronic distributor can be...

Great! Mike

Do you have a plan for it? Mike

Perhaps that could be done with vinyl graphics? I had to replace the "engine turning pattern on the trim for my 65 Belvedere II so, I used Chrysler "Argent" trim paint. It looks fine but, at the time I did not even think "graphics". They can make almost anything. Mike

No. Strip the loom cover from the computer back to the first Y. Strip the carb harness back too. You will see what wire goes to what and start eliminating anything operating in the Lean Burn system. That's about as specific as I can get from my keyboard. A wiring diagram will help you. Mike

If you eliminate all the quench space it will not perform. Aluminum heads alone will provide about 1 point reduction in CR in operation. That said when you pull a head the piston top to deck height should be measured at TDC. Then you should be better informed as to gasket thickness. Cam specs? Mike

I purchased a aluminum 440 six pack COMPLETE in 1972-3 for $50.00 from the mechanic in the stall next to me. He was also a friend, deceased now. :( Mike

5/16" x 3/4" or 1" with attached flat washers. Or buy the button head allen screws in SS for a dressy look and no paint chipping by the wrench. I have been using thin plastic washers under the flats to avoid scarring up the fender paint. Get or make them no larger than the steel flat washer OD...

In 1982 I acquired a 360 core and rebuilt it up to the rocker assy for the welder I had been fitting for at my real job (he called me from New York as he was coming back to Michigan for the weekend). Then he drove the 70 something Ramcharger to my shop and left. I pulled the OEM 360, stripped...
