I'm looking at getting a new fuel pump for my 383.It's a 68 block in a 70 RR...is the 440 pump similar?Will it fit?Is it the same type of pump only a higher volume?I sure could use some advice on this one...I would hate to get the wrong pump...any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks Dave

Sorry to hear about your dad but it is a great story keeping that old Bird alive and Q5 is pretty rare.Great color as well.Incredible what great condition that floor is in.I've just done my first bit of restoration on my 70RR which was kept to the engine compartment but it was a blast...enjoy...

You had to cut the air box??!!! Brutal...what is MSD thinking?

It's official...my air grabber hood fits like a glove with the Edelbrock DP4b...though I can't run any kind of carb spacer.I had a 1/4 inch spacer,more like a larger gasket to act as a heat barrier between intake and carb but it wouldn't fit.Yes,removing the gasket made things work.Now to see if...
