I think 70 was the changeover to electronic dist. If yours doesn't have it it's time to upgrade.

Did you remove the old axle seal? With the o ring bearing, you don't need it. Why is the extra retaining ring still on?

440 4 Speed, Are you sure that Ronnie Sox used an Inland shifter? Didn't the 65's come with Hurst? I would be surprised that he didn't continue with the 65 Shifter.

If you can find a nice one for your car, buy it and put it away. Do not use it! They are so sloppy they are hard on your transmission. It will be hard on your engine too, if you miss a shift. Good for originality, Bad for use. Yes, this is just my opinion from 56 years with my 66 Belvedere.

Is this the old small port intake? If so, I have an old one that has the Edelbrock info ground off.

Use it!

I have a Hurst shorty handle, Not sure of exact length, about 10". It comes with an original white hurst T handle that is in very good condition. I used a fine scuff pad to clean the shift handle. It is not very shiny, but the black in the shift pattern is nice. $115 shipped US.

Have you considered using seat belts like the 68 Super Stock cars?

Have you made a ground wire between the gate and body? Your motor may still be good, but the gate grounds through the hinges, and they get dirty. Give it a try, it just might save you from taking it apart. Rick

The 14x7's were Ford wheels and require the spacer to clear the control arm lip. The 14x6 should not need a spacer. Rick

Before you go to the trouble of replacing the seal, make sure that you are using a good PCV valve and a vented filler cap. Getting rid of the flat oil fill cap on my MP aluminum covers has solved the problem in both my 383 & 440 after the replacement of both did not slow it down. I agree with...

Guy, The poster came from FatCat Graphics. They might have something similar to your Road Runner. Rick

I graduted from Glenpool High in '69. I live south of Bixby, about 15 miles from Glenpool. Where is Sealand? I'm not familiar. Found it! East London? Ha Ha
