A bit of a silly question, but I want to put some stickers (like the ones you get from COMPCams, Holley, Wilwood, etc.) on the passenger window of my car but I want to be able to remove them and reapply them for car shows, races, etc. I was looking at clear vinyl with a temporary adhesive as a...

I've done a lot of searching here but haven't quite found the answer (i think). I have a single wire alt that is producing 14.2v at the back, but only 13.0 at the batt. From what i can tell, the wire from the alt is going to the dash/amp meter and has issues and creating some resistance...

Ok, strange experience yesterday and would like to share to see what this group thinks. About the car/engine: It's a 400ci in a '67 Coronet 440. Engine oil was a little on the old side. Oil pres. gage working and tested. I know nothing about the engine/car, just purchased about 3 weeks ago...

This is more of a curiosity type of question and potentially a very obvious answer. Going down the road - nothing special, 45 mph, cruising - and suddenly a very loud grinding noise came from the rear. It stopped and then did it again. Was only a mile from home. Pulled apart to find the shaft...

Hi All, My car seems to maintain a decent temp while moving (180-190), but starts to warm up significantly and pretty fast when I come to a stop. Typical muscle car, but it makes it almost impossible to drive around town. I have a Frostbite 3 core radiator (FB142) and 175 thermostat. I tried...

Looking for a 440 block, 2 actually. Any year is fine, prefer years 71-77.

Hi all, A potentially stupid question, but after I pulled my 8 3/4 742 rear apart and cleaned it I magically lost the shims. Now, when I put back together, well, as predicted it's wrong - pinion is too tight and very difficult to turn. Where can I buy just a set of shims? Preferably a kit with...

I promise I searched for this answer before posting assuming this is a basic question, but I think it's too basic. So I'll be the first dummy. I have a '77 440. The block has enlarged coolant ports (figure 8's.., see pic) and the TF 240 heads have offset large holes that line up with one side...

Hi all and thank you in advance...you guys have been a huge help. I have a 440 short block and the deck clearance is 0.172... I'm pretty sure it's a MH motor but that seems like a big number to me. Anyway... Here is my question... Is the deck height the same (generally speaking) on all RBs...

I have a 66 charger with an 8-3/4 rear running 2.94 gears, open. A relatively decent 440 engine and your run-of-the-mill 727. The gears are just a little too tall for me. I don't drive it on the highway but I must admit it cruise is pretty nice around 65 - 70. However, I have no interest in...

I was hoping someone could check my math. For argument sake let's assume my piston to valve clearance is 0.000. Let's assume my intake valve is 2.02 and I'm changing to a new head that is 2.19. The valve angle is 15°. Is the following calc correct... Change in valve diameter is...

Hi all, I've been looking everywhere with no luck... hopefully you can point me in the right direction. I'm looking for the rear seat hinge bracket. It bolts to the rear pan and hold the outside of the rear seat by the seat pin. It cam be seen in various documents but I can't seem to find a...

Hey everybody, long time reader first time poster :-) First I just want you to know I did do some searches but I still struggle with finding kind of the answer I'm looking for so I would try my first post. In short I'm looking to rebuild the front suspension of my 66 charger, and in the...

Well, I got bit by the bug. For years I wanted to build a car with my son. I finally found the car I wanted and I've jumped in with both feet. It's a 1966 Charger, dark blue with white interior. It's a 318 2bl, SB 727 with a 8 3/4 that appears to have a 2.94 rear gear. I'm building a 440 RB...
