    440 906 heads: Oil pooling top back side of head

    Seriously love your brevity by the way!

    440 906 heads: Oil pooling top back side of head

    Are they just not flat or inconsistent? Do they work well on a machined head?

    440 906 heads: Oil pooling top back side of head

    Yep that was clear when I started it…should’ve read first…gonna hang onto them though…eventually I’ll get some nice aluminum heads to keep them company…

    440 906 heads: Oil pooling top back side of head

    Forgot to mention I’m running the Mopar cast aluminum covers. I used Permatex 2 to seal them and hopefully isn’t to hard to get it off since it doesn’t fully harden…

    440 906 heads: Oil pooling top back side of head

    Hey guys, I have 906 cast iron heads and the old cork valve cover gaskets were getting pretty ratty so I thought I’d try the Moroso blue rubber gaskets…they leaked like crazy on both sides and I attributed that to the imperfections of the cast iron mating surface. So I’m back to a new set of...

    Holley 750 on 440 holding RPM

    Agreed. Should’ve taken it one step at a time but obviously your saying 42 total

    Holley 750 on 440 holding RPM

    This also crossed my mind…because the idle eventually settles down…

    Holley 750 on 440 holding RPM

    I live in the south and don’t need the choke…I’ve always had it disconnected and choke stuck open with a zip tie so I just lopped it off while carb was off… Yea I’m just trying to get it to not burn my eyeballs out as much at long lights…that’s what started this adventure. I’d love to buy a...

    Holley 750 on 440 holding RPM

    Hey guys, trying to dial in again after modifying a few things on my Holley 750 DP….I have timing at 16 initial, 33 total with vac advance disconnected. It could use a bit (a lot) more although I haven’t test driven yet since getting it back together and stopped for the night. PROBLEM: when...

    Thanks for the advice…I’ll get down there tomorrow to figure out which one is TDC.

    440 Harmonic Damper ID?

    Hey guys - just for my own information, does anyone know what harmonic damper I have on my 440? I’m also curious why it has 2 timing marks. The main ring is 7/8” thick. It’s obviously been around a while judging by the layers of paint…car was listed with a “steel” crank when purchased but...

    Pressurestat on block (440)

    Part number is 24900-03…so 3 psi? You would think it should be rated higher. When I get it back together I can crank it and watch the gauge and see when the fuel pump kicks on

    Pressurestat on block (440)

    Hey guys- I’m trying to go through and fix leaks and I thought I would double check the oil pressure gauge fittings at the back of the block. One port has a line to my mechanical oil pressure gauge and the other has a Y with a KYSOR pressurestat and the other is a sensor wired to the dash oil...

    Finding ‘65 Coronet bench seat covers

    Howdy- Does anyone have a good source for ‘65 Coronet split bench seat covers? Seems hardtop/500 bucket seat covers are readily available but I cannot find any repro covers. I currently have cheapos over the original covers but want it more correct. Need a black set….thx in advance!

    DETROITERS: Alter Bridge?

    Ah yea Ashland Hump rings a bell…my low slung 7 quart wouldn’t stand a chance. I can imagine the ungodly sounds and sparks lighting up that street at 2am and then the sound of exhaust leaks on the way out! Thanks for the research I’m sure they’ve dumbed it down over the years…we can’t have fun...

    DETROITERS: Alter Bridge?

    Does anyone know where the Alter Bridge is in Detroit? I’ve heard many stories about many dudes jumping it successfully and some unsuccessfully (oil pan meets crank). Maybe more popular with motorcycles but i would bet a few b bodies flew over it after a couple of Stroh’s… Apparently there was...

    295x65x15s on my 1965 Belvedere

    Same MT 295/65-15 on a 10” wide rim…but springs moved to frame and mini tubs…could’ve went even bigger but it’s no race car!

    ‘65 Coronet Stock Gas Gauge OHMS

    Hey there - I have a 1965 Coronet with a stock gas gauge that always shows past full as far as the needle will go. When ignition is off the needle sits on E but when ignition is turned on, the needle sweeps up, pulses a bit and pegs past full and stays there (looks more like a blood pressure...

    Dana 60, too much end play?

    Thanks for the brainstorming....I'm going to take it in to an axle shop near me and see what they say. Hopefully something relatively simple to fix....
