I stand corrected. I thought they looked like open chamber heads but when I zoomed in I see you’re right.

Great info, thank you!

I signed up for Carlisle in December (first time bringing the Charger) but all I got was a confirmation email. Do they send you a packet or something?

Those don’t look anything like 440 Source heads. These are my new Stealth heads going on my 440 build.

Hi all, I think maybe this has been discussed many times before... if there is already a thread please let me know. Here goes: Short question: Keeping the package tray looking stock... can I mount two 6x9 speakers from the bottom in the back even though the speaker holes are different...

makes sense. I cleaned up the ground anyway and started it up. At first it seemed to be okay, showing 13.4 at the battery but then the engine pulled down like it was under a load and voltage spiked up up to 16.8 again. I ordered a new regulator from NAPA for pickup tomorrow. More to follow…

Yeah, wife had to take her though

Sorry, 1971 Charger SE with 383. Original wiring.
