    Just did a compression test - please advise…

    1971 383, stock bottom end with fresh 452 heads milled .020. I had the plugs out so figured I’d do a compression test. These numbers look good to me but I’ve never tested cylinder pressures on a big block before so wanted to ask ya’lls advice:

    This was apparently stuck to one of the copies of my build sheet. Not sequential to my car but similar options and also a Y13 Dealer Demonstrator. Send me a picture of your VIN tag if it's your car and I"ll stick it in the mail.

    Factory repaired head?!?

    I pulled a 440 out of a motor home with just over 32k on the odometer, engine is super clean inside… can still see the cross-hatching in the cylinder walls. Pulled the heads and one of the walls between the intake runners has been welded. It appears to be a solid weld. Would this have been...

    Crazy A/C compressor from a used 440

    I bought a '77 440 out of a motorhome yesterday. Sat for many years beside some guys house but fired right up with a jump and a little squirt of fuel down the Thermoquad. Odo shows 36K miles. That's not the crazy thing. The crazy thing is this enormous aluminum A/C compressor. Anyone ever...

    Looking for a quart of 1971 W3 Brite White

    Painting a set of 8" steel wheels for my Charger, gonna do the body color wheels/dog dish hubcap thing. I went on the Eastwood site but apparently only Ford and GM ever built a white car. Other sites want $300-400 for a "package". I don't really want to go $200 in to a quart of paint if I can...

    Edelbrock AVS2 question

    I’ve got a ‘71 Charger, bone stock 383 with 59k miles. Stock Holley had seen better decades so I hit the easy button and changed to a 650 cfm AVS-2. This was in conjunction with changing the old points ignition to a two-wire electronic distributor with a new coil. Wow, what a difference! I...

    Mini Starter Question

    I'm planning to do a complete rebuild of my '71 383 this winter, which will include a full TTI header/exhaust system. TTI mandates a mini starter in the '71 B-Body for header fitment. My question is if there is a mini starter out there that keeps that classic Mopar starter sound. I love...

    Classic Car Stereos

    I have a 71 Charger with the original am/fm radio and cassette dictophone. Needless to say, nothing works. I'm looking at doing a swap to one of the classic-appearing modern radios so that I have bluetooth capability as well as my beloved satellite radio in a stock-looking format. Speakers...

    1971 Charger driver's wiper arm - Need some wisdom
