A bud told me he was putting his line-lock on his rear brakes. I said that's not going to work but he explained that it actually works better. You hit the switch without brakes applied and then you will only have front brakes which you can pedal on an off if/as needed during burn-out. Finish...

I'm sure this has been discussed many times here before but my searches didn't yield anything, plus things change. Let me first tell how this came up again with me.. While building my 68 charger (with an insurable, street legal "roll bar"), I did a good bit of researching on how I could best out...

I've never had my speedo working since I put my 68 charger together. I thought it only needed a cable so I got one. It broke before the needle ever moved. The speedo was frozen. I then made a tool that fit in the speedo in place of the cable, shot some wd40 on/in it and got it spinning, but it's...

I noticed that my 68 charger's front disc conversion brakes are dragging and maybe the rears are also. Without any pressure on it, the weight of the pedal arm is applying a tad of brakes. I had the car jacked up and had trouble spinning the front wheels. Then pulled the pedal up a bit with a...

I got this cheap speedo cable and wondering if it is the one I need for my 68 charger ? /with 727auto and stock rally dash speedometer.. Is that white plastic connector correct?

I've noticed some fluid around my trans mount and wondering if it could be coming from the opening where you remove the snap-ring on the tail brg as shown in pic. I didn't notice what was going on there when I put the trans in. Can it leak there? Does that hole get some kinda cover/plug? With...

I'm running a fairly stock 440 in my 68 charger, headers, 750 brawler carb, 727 trans w/shift kit, 3.91 gears, 30.5" tires. Not sure about the comp ratio on the pistons. It is a mystery motor that I found and nobody knew the history on it. I didn't take the heads or intake off but replaced the...

I got these new valve springs from 440 source,> http://store.440source.com/Stealth-Cylinder-Head-Valve-Springs-Set-of-16/productinfo/200-1058/ They are a little bigger than my old stock ones. I put a new spring on the left in the pic, the one on the right is stock. Are the stock keeper/caps...

I bought a new ign/key switch for my 68 charger and it has an extra male connector blade. It is the one marked grd and my stock harness connector plug has a slot for it but no grd wire. Do I need to add a ground wire to that male grd blade? I did installed the new switch already and it seems to...

I've got what seems to be a basically stock 1972 440 in my 68 charger with a 727 trans. The 440's history was unknown to me but after compression check, etc, I concluded the motor was good enough for me for now. But, It has a problem and starts missing at about 4300 rpm. I can make it do it in...

Bought this 440 block the other day, $250 for it and a 727. Here are pics of the numbers on it. Are these typical numbers for winnebago 440s? And looks like it was built in 1975 ?

Just bought this 727? trans and a 440 block for $250, figured it was great deal. Supposedly both from a winnebago. I think the tail shaft can be swapped to the car config, right? and- What is the drum mechanism on the end, an emergency brake?

I have a few questions about 440 valve springs. #1- Do I need to figure out which stock heads I have before ordering valve springs? #2- Or will all stock 440 heads except the same springs? I'm looking at comp cams for some new springs because I get a discount with them. Would like to reuse the...

On my 440 street/strip charger I have a kill switch on my tail panel which kills the battery connection, but as I knew already the alternator keeps the motor running. I think I've heard if I disconnect the wires to the alternator the motor will then quit when the kill switch is turned off. My...

My wonderful running 440 has developed a small oil leak from near the rear main seal. I don't think it is coming from the main seal itself but the aluminum bridge/saddle/journal that holds the bottom half of the seal. It has seals/gaskets on the sides and I'm thinking and hoping that one of them...

Anyone know where I can find this slotted kick down top link rod, and spring,? for a 68- 440 charger w/holley and w/727.. I've been searching with no luck other than a full set for $300+. I've got everything but that rod and spring.

I'm trying to put my drive shaft in and keep running into problems. All I have left to figure out is how to secure the straps that hold the rear u joint (7260/7290= napa#347) to the rear end yoke. Do I need some u bolt type retainers? The holes in the yoke do not appear to be threaded, but they...

How much do you think a m/t street radial grows at 120mph? Mine are 30in sitting still, what could I expect in growth? Worried about clearance..

I'd like to get a bolt on kit for my 68 charger with stock column and grant 3 bolt wheel. Anyone know where to get them? Don't care about horn working or not..

I need some spark plugs and just installed some summit headers on my 440 in my 68 charger and worried I'll have trouble with clearance, installing the plugs and wire boots. I also just installed a 1970 electronic ignition mod. Would the shorty header plugs be a good idea? Any reasons not to use...
