I had a issue recently with my Holley 12-840 0-9 psi fuel pressure regulator and found the problem and someone might have similar issues. My 440 had 6 psi fuel pressure when cold but when it warmed up the fuel pressure would drop to 3 psi. The adjustment on the regulator had no effect and did...

Thanks for all the reply's and support. I believe most of my problems had to do with the 2400 stall converter and auto transmission. I could get the XE284 cam to idle great and sound good but once it was in drive it would bog down and stall out. Then I would have to adjust the idle up to 1100...

I recently removed the Comp Cams .507/.510 XE284H cam from my stroker 493 engine. It was giving me fits to try and tune. The vacuum was too low to operate the power brakes correctly and it lopey idle was too much for me. It also caused the engine to have an extremely rich idle possible because...

Check you rear flex hose line from your rear brake line to the t fitting on top of the diff. Mine was so clogged up I wasn't getting any fluid to the rear brakes. You can disconnect it then try to press the brake pedal and see if you get any fluid out of it. I was having the same issue you...

No I tried the cheap ebay distributor and broke my engine in with it but just couldn't get the tune right. The car was basically not drivable. The engine wouldn't idle correct and kept dying when shifted to drive. This is why I went with the firecore. Anyway I just wanted to put it out there in...

If you are thinking about purchasing one of the ebay 440/383 distributors listed as Pro Billet and sell for around 40 or 50 bucks think again. If you have one already think about upgrading to a Firecore distributor. My 493 stroker engine wants more initial advance that a stock 440. I wants...

I just had one made for me. With a 8 3/4, 727 automatic transmission and 440 it was 51.5". Installed it last week and it fits perfect.

I just went thru this same issue on my conversion from a 318 to a 440. The 318 power steering pump pulley is different than a 440 pulley. The 440 pulley will line up with the front grove on the crank pulley. I bought mine from 440 source. The water pump and alternator should run off the rear pulley.
