    Can this get worse ?

    Yeah, some days are like that. Time to take a break and go do something fun, or at least not involving your car for a few hours. We all have had things go wrong and they are what makes us better mechanics. For instance, I'll bet if you ever have to do that job again, the first thing you're going...

    Did I find treasure in my shed?

    Download the directions from the MSD page at Holley. That was the first Multiple Spark Discharge unit if I remember correctly. Whatever you do be mindful that the unit will knock you on your arse if you get too close to the coil or coil wire while cranking. Also, you should have a good set of...

    No Start After Install Of Pertronix Unit

    Check the feed wire that it didn't get compromised where it passes through the distributor housing or at the connection to the pick-up, that is, it's not turned so that it's grounding on the mounting plate.

    Does a rebuilt engine run warm until the break in is finished?

    440 B/B with Griffin 26" aluminum radiator. FlowKooler pump. I've run Summit's cheapest dual fan set-up as well as the 7 blade Mopar mechanical fan with a shroud at different times. There is no room for a clutch. 180* Robertshaw thermostat. Factory seal at top of radiator to hood. 50/50 coolant...

    Short 45 degree ceramic plug wire boots?

    On my 440 with Schumacher Tri-Ys , A/C, P/S: Taylor #83053 Universal 8.2mm x 135* boots. I tried the Accel Ceramic but the a few terminals pulled off at the first plug change and it was a JOB to repair them. The Taylors work for me and they're WAY cheaper. The 90s won't work on all the cylinders...

    Gas Pedal

    NOT for a 63-65 B body ^^^^^^. You need to cut a matching hole in the carpet and pad.

    Big block oil change

    Sometimes using a longer or shorter P/S belt will move its trajectory away from the filter. The Wix 51515 is the most common filter, but not the only one, as has been said.

    Oblong wheel stud wholes

    Sold them for many years. Never saw a Unilug type pattern on a real Weld Wheel. As 33IMP stated, they were/are LUG centic. Look oh the back of the wheel for the manufacturer's name. If not there, break a bead and look on the inside of the center drum. Most likely a different brand with an...

    8 ¾” flange.

    I used the "Right Stuff" kit and the spacer is 1/8" thick. It's been fine for 9 years. I'd do what Doorkicker suggested.

    Just pulled the spark plugs in my new to me 440 and they are not the same size as the ones I got to replace them. What are the chances?

    Looking at those pictures makes me think of what a gynecologist sees on a daily basis...

    1970 RR Hydraulic Safety System Switch ???

    Very observant of you. You must be "mature" like me...lol. How long have you been in San Rafael?

    1970 RR Hydraulic Safety System Switch ???

    That's most likely the Brake Light Warning switch connector. It hooks to the brake light warning light on your dash cluster at the bottom left and lights if the system loses pressure.

    How the hell does the harness come out?

    Before I bought a set of tools to deal with all the terminals I used a packing staple with great success. Those staples are everywhere around the back of stores who receive large boxes. Straighten out one end to make an "L" and shove the long end into the open end of the terminal so that it...
