    Rear Main Seal Bad...., I Think!?

    You could nip up the oil pan bolts...& get lucky. But my guess is the rear seal or seal holder. When the engine is running, blowby increases pressure in the crankcase & helps find ' bad' seals.

    Cooling issues 69 RR 440 at wits end!

    Because it heats up so quickly, I would be checking for a blown/leaking head gasket.....especially on a newly re-built engine.

    Relay for ignition.

    The relay is a good idea. If the ign coil is an E core, it will draw more current. To get the best use of the relay, connect one contact to the battery [+] terminal or alt post with a 10 amp inline fuse. Connect the other relay contact to the module/coil [+]. This will ensure that your ign...

    Bad Lower Ball Joint out of the box?

    Should not be loose. Loose means it has clearance.

    72 440 Road Runner. Backfire/Popping only when foot is off gas and coasting.

    Carb looks old. Should check the float level. Also, PCV is not hooked up [ large rubber plug between mixture screws ]??? That will mess the idle throttle opening...& idle mixture adjustment.

    Points or no points? That is the question.

    In the pic of the bal res, it looks like 0.25 ohm, not 25 ohm. 0.25 ohm bal res with a 2 ohm coil would be an odd pairing.

    Excessive brake pedal travel

    Another possibility: the rear piston in the m/c has to close off the inlet port [ it feeds into the reservoir ] before any pressure is developed. Some m/cs have an internal adjustment for this in the rear piston. If the piston has to travel a long way before the seal blocks this port, then there...

    Charger Specialties Tach...Fail?

    I do not understand how it can have a 'pick up'....but not be electronic ign [ Post #1 ]. Maybe it is a Pert dist with a module inside? If so & the module is HEI based, it may need a filter [ below] if the tach was designed for use with a points dist.

    Grinding brakes only in reverse

    Post #2...or....don't drive in reverse... Reversed brake shoes do not cause a grinding noise, they just wear unevenly.

    Vapor-Locking... the bane of my existence.

    Best external elec pump made!

    Charger Specialties Tach...Fail?

    If the dist has a p/up, then it is an electronic dist & will need a module or box to run it. The tach maybe designed to work with elec ign, not points ign, which has a different output signal.

    440 , rebuild or use

    My self & Phoenix are in Australia. 440s were NEVER fitted to a car or truck in this country. You don't just go to a wrecking yard & get another block......As scarce as rocking horse s**t.....

    1963 Polara Transmission Problems

    Does it have the Detroit U joint at the trans [ large housing ]? They have a pin inside. Wondering if it broke & got jammed.

    440 6 Pack squealing noise only when completely warmed up

    I usually have a suggestion, but this has stumped me. A dry cyl? Try removing one spark plug at a time.

    They can’t be serious.

    I love the 68-69-70 Chargers,,,but I thought the 66-67s were ugly.

    Radiator

    Post # 23 & the nonsense in post #22. Alum brazing has three times the tensile strength of the strongest soft solder.

    Radiator

    My comment is NOT incorrect. Name a soft solder that has anywhere near the strength of a brazed joint. Idiotic statement. The only 'solder' that has any real strength is 'silver' solder, which is totally different to 'soft' solder. They require different fluxes due to their composition. Soft...
