    Happy then disappointed…

    A 35 amp alternator is not worth the trouble install it. Makes a good anchor tho.

    Air compressor in garage or out?

    Mine is in an unheated 30x40 shop ....I just ignore the noise....after a while I don't notice it. The only problem I have is if I need it in the winter at -20 I have to put a heater nearby to heat the oil to get it to start properly.

    Carburetor stumble

    My guess is you need more juice pump and or bigger pump jets

    Correct 440 valley pan paint color

    I have a 71 bee 383 from new it did not have a pad....so I guess it was not a standard item for some years.

    Still no luck with the '69 Charger 383. Hasn't fired once.

    If you have spark, fuel and compression with no start or run that brings up that the timing chain may have jumped a few notches.....been there a couple

    Engine stalling on heavy accelerations

    The sock in the tank is collapsing under high demand for fuel would be my guess.

    Why is my 426 hemi stamped marine

    My take on this is that originally the engine was modified to run counterclockwise as a lot or most marine engines do. I have seen 440's modified in this fashion. The difference being the camshaft of course.

    Tie rod end separator... not “pickle fork”

    I use a pickle fork on my air chisel ....there are tools that work the opposite of a gear puller that pushes from the top to push the taper out of the knuckle. They work quite well.

    The green funky crud.

    All depends on what is in the air around the connectors. Dielectric grease is a good solution but a bit messy for me....I use Deoxit 5...useing a q-tip to put a very light coating on the blades of the connector.
