It sounds like very a healthy result when comparing the numbers but I guess the very low reading is what your concerned with - Id wonder about the accuracy of my gauges on the tool and maybe a way to test the gauge itself?
Correct, I ran the test with all valves closed (see edit)
But pressure loss from valve overlap here and there must have minimal impact (since the tool keeps building pressure). When done with valves open it worked on my dual plane stock manifold. It built enough pressure to almost pop out the...
Well this post was just intended to showcase the tools and alternative application of those silicone plugs to seal a 4 port manifold - not the full procedure involving sealing the intake valves by loosening the rocker shafts - i’ve edited for clarification.
However, conversationally: any...

To continue the thread on my experience I will say the NAPA part fit well (photo below) and dimensions were similar to the original as far as I could tell.
For anyone else looking the NAPA Part# is 602-1118.
Appreciated! I didn't know about them but found the facebook page (Joe’s Mopar Distributor Restoration | Facebook) I also just recently learned about FBO, who also seem to specialize in these distributors (FBO Ignition - Home of the HRR688)
The more I search the more I learn these single point...
Thank you that's good to have you've had that experience. If I go that route I'll keep it mind. It's hard to tell what the specs are on these things from some websites so not even sure where to look up that information. I haven't actually got into tuning but just looking to match whatever stock...
Hello All,
I've scoured the web looking for a part that seems to be obsolete and before going ahead with a re-pop at $50+ I thought I would post this.
I have a single point ignition distributor on my 440 (1968 dated block) I am trying to repair vs. replace. The distributor number inside the...
I appreciate you posting this because I've run into the same issue and didn't know if I had a bad part or the wrong part since my Charger has a 440 motor (origin unknown) instead of the original 383.
The new mounts I purchased from a vendor at Carlisle turn out to be Westar part #EM-2250 and I...

That's good to know thanks for the tip - I've had to use bronze bushings and spacers before on my Holly setup so I'll keep that in mind. There is a great video from '71 on adjusting the linkage I just found today:

Thank you I really appreciate the offer. I just received the dorman kit #41017 but I don't think it will work because the largest diameter is 1/4" and I think the rods are larger than that. I'm actually heading down to work on the car tomorrow and will measure and confirm. I may take you up on...
Thats a great link - thanks for sending it, I only recently discovered mega parts and they have been a great resource. Didn't know they had LH and RH versions too so that's good info to keep on hand.
Thank you both - I think i’m headed in the right direction now. I see an assortment of ‘linkage clips’ sold by dorman that looks similar to what you described (Dave6T4) here
I may try that assortment before drilling the end or hunting online for the correct part. Always learning something new...
I’m working on my 67 Charger (383 originally) that has a 69 440 in it. The car has no history or originalily so hard to tell what’s setup correctly.
The kick down linkage is what I need help with.
There are basically 3 connected rods that link up using two swivel brackets creating an a “Z”...
I saw that too!

.. lots of valuable property damaged, obviously nothing important compared to the tragic loss of life, but seeing that flipped over was surreal.
