Posted this previously on the wrong forum. I have a 68 Charger I've been restoring and converting from a 318 to a 440. I'm almost done and now it seems like everything is fighting me. I have my old TRW pump from the 318. I bought the big block brackets for it and it mounts up fine. The only...

I have a 68 Charger I've been restoring and converting from a 318 to a 440. I'm almost done and now it seems like everything is fighting me. I have my old TRW pump from the 318 I had. I bought the big block brackets for it and it mounts up fine. The only problem is now everything lines up...

They are flat tops with valve reliefs.

I just picked up a rebuilt 440 short block for my '68 Charger and trying to make a decision on heads. I have stock rods, 9.5:1 Keith Black pistons and the block has been decked just to clean it up. Stealth heads are 80cc, Max Wedge I think are 72cc. Have a Comp Cams XE268 hydraulic flat. As...

FOUND IT! Unwound the wiring harness from the brake warning light to the bulkhead connector. An inch before the bulkhead, the Ign 1 blue wire (port N) was melted to the black wire next to it in P which is the black return line from the ammeter. That wire has the potential to carry a big load...

That makes sense on the 12v on the field wire. Just mystified with my blue wire at the ignition being live. It can't be a short or I think I would be blowing a fuse or melting a wire. It must be bridging somewhere but I know it's not at the bulkhead or ignition switch which are the only areas...

Still on the hunt. Pulled the Red power lead from the ignition and the blue wire is still live. Going to have to unwrap the harness and follow the wires until I find the source.

Looking at the alternator closer and doing some research, it appears I have the newer "square back" alternator. Articles talk about wiring to an electronic regulator. Mine is wired to a mechanical. Re: the starter, this ran great for two months then something happened. One other clue is when...

Add'l ground strap to body didn't change anything. About to start cutting the harness apart. This has to be a simple fix and I'm going to find it one way or another.

I took a pic of the alternator. I have one wire from it but it also looks like it has one not being used. With the alternator, voltage regulator and ballast disconnected I still have a live blue wire. One thing has struck me also. Although there is a ground going from the battery neg to the...

Just bought a '68 Charger a few months ago and while driving last weekend I noticed that when I accelerated the gauges and radio would go dead and the ammeter would peg high. Pulled over to inspect and found the car wouldn't turn off. Made it home. Killed it by pulling the coil wire. Started...
