I have a summit hemi pan, and a 440Source hemi pan. Between the 2 side by side, the summit is stamped from thinner gauge steel, plus the 440Source is coated. Neither has been mounted to an engine yet though...
I know your trying to compare the 440S & MP pan, but just wanted to add this to show...
The rear seat-back in my 71 had 2 steel loops from the inner seat frame that held it down at the seatbelt bolts. I dont know when it changed but assume it was in mid 71 production. Its hard to believe the changes were between assembly plants.
I mix a box of baking soda, a cup of laundry scent booster crystals, and a cup of carpet powder(in your choice of aroma) together & put it in the round plastic containers from leftover KFC sides & cut wide slits in the lids. Put em under the seats & on the rear floor. They work great on our...
That wont work.
The vapor separator hooked to fuel lines at the fuel pump uses the small line to return a small amount of fuel back constantly to the tank through a return line while the car is running. The vapor canister that hooks to the charcoal canister is the small can bolted under the car...
I purchased the same brackets & welded them on my 71 LCA's. I used a factory sway bar & mounted everything to the K to mock it up & get the position correct for the parts I was using. I can get you measurements in a day or 2 if I dont have to work a double shift tonight, if you'd like. I highly...
I believe the short ones go into the upper cowl pads that meet up with the fenders square holes(by the windshield). The long ones go into the bottom of the fender where it meets the rocker pannel(2 per side). I think they're so long to accommodate shims if necessary for proper alignment.
I mowed over a litter the other day. Didn't hurt em. The mother was running around in circles after I went to another part of the yard so I knew she had a burrow somewhere. I've seen it before. I found the burrow in the grass I just mowed & left it be. She moved them that night...
I used the Goodmark front floorpan on my 71 Plymouth. No issues with the install. I used AMD rear pans & everything went together better than I anticipated.
I got a cheep dash cam at Harbor freight with a coupon for like $40. It works pretty good & turns on automatically if theres motion or shock with the key off.
If the other side seams fine with the changes, why not swap the parts to & fro to verify its definitely the valvetrain/head on the problem side?
Is it possible one head had more work(machining & shaving) than the other? An old school builder may have done this, and your guy just cut equal...
I had to swap providers with my agent due to the company I was with pulling out of the Eastern US. No biggy, but the agent told us a lot of poeple are under-insured now. We raised our coverage years ago but evidently replacement value cannot be reached now, so they are totaling cars out at a...
I have commuter cars for work as well as a newer truck, besides my classics. I know you cant buy as much in a new car for $35K, so the market for a show-able classic sounds about right, granted I wouldn't buy a car without seeing it in person.
I'm getting ready to clean up & re-seal the heads for my 440 and started scraping the VC gasket off. When I went to flip the head upside down to get the scapings outa the inside, this funny shaped dowl thing fell out. Looks like a restrictor for an orifice. Does it belong somewhere? No idea...
I picked up a running 19k mile 76' 440 out of an RV for next to nothing. I have several others, one of which is being built by a shop currently. I wanted to re-gasket this engine & put a proper pickup & pan on it as well as some other bolt-ons & paint & put it in the corner for a future project...
Welcome!
Also, I'll second the Indian Head shellac that R413 mentioned. You can get it just about anywhere that carries permatex products. If the hose is correct, it will seal up.
I would NOT use RTV.
