I did not receive instructions with the unit, I will give Mike a call again and see if he has that info.

With a bit of poking around I realized I had missed that 440 source has a phone number listed. I called and Mike there was very helpful. He confirmed that you can change out the spade connector for a ring, and hook it up just like a stock distributor. I'll look into what you said about the...

Getting close to buttoning up the wiring on the car, but realizing I don't have any clear picture on how to wire up the distributor. I currently have: - 440 Source Street Distributor - Pertronix Flame Thrower 1.5 ohm, 40,000V coil (I think this recommends bypassing ballast resistor) -...

I knew I was overthinking it. Thank you for the quick reply.

Hi all. I am getting close to first start on the 440. Realized I do not have a dipstick yet! My brain is telling me a regular dipstick and tube should work just fine, because it is reading the TOP of the oil level range not the bottom. I believe the engine builder put a Moroso deep sump pan...

Very nice, something about having overdrive in a classic is just so sweet.

Belongs to my dad, he has been pushing hard to get it on the road at the same time as mine. The wagon is presently 440/auto powered with a GearVendors behind it set up to be a street/strip car. Lots of great goodies in the build, it is super nice! Hopefully both of us will be able to cruise...

Thankfully I kicked it by Saturday and was able to go full throttle the next several days. Today or tomorrow I am hoping to install the fuel and brake hardlines and figure out where I want to place the fuel pump.

Big update, starting to get to the exciting stuff! My original plan was to chip away at all this over the course of a couple of weeks. I got the steering column stripped down, smoothed and repainted in 2K satin black paint. Then I got sick, which slowed things down a ton. Over the course of...

More progress this weekend. Busted out the wire wheels and sand paper and got to cleaning up the old hardware I am reusing. I've tried a bunch of different stuff over the years and honestly just painting the exposed surfaces black seems to be the easiest to live with. Oiling and heating the...

I started putting the floorpan plugs in, found a SUPER helpful reference guide here on FBBO courtesy of @El.Padrino which I linked below in case anyone needs it! Body Plug Archive I had some trouble with the 1" rubber plugs, but I think they just need a little lubrication. I also carefully...

Exactly! I just need to get it mobile enough to get out to the Ocala show in early November. After that, I can get it to full "1.0" by early next year. Spent another hour on the car today, touched up some of the tight corners that the spray gun couldn't reach using a detail brush. Also got...

Thank you for the advice, will see if budget allows for that. Seems like $450-475 for any of those three. Maybe if I can scrape some money together, and sell the original uppers when I am done refinishing them and putting in the new bushings and balljoints, I might just be able to swing it.

I originally planned on refinishing the originals and putting in poly bushings and new ball joints. The ball joints are not playing nice, so I purchased new upper control arms to get the car on the road as soon as possible. I still plan on servicing the original ones and swapping them back in...

I picked up the powder coated parts and the driveshaft earlier in the week. Decided to forge ahead with getting the K frame bolted in and see how much of the front suspension I could get installed. I wire wheeled the bolts and got the K frame up in place with a floor jack and cloth to protect...

The lower shifter boot on my 1966 Charger is pretty haggard and in need of replacement. From what I can tell, the lower boot interacts low down where the shifter handle mounts. I found a replacement (This one on Classic Industries) but it specifically notes "for Inland shifters". I have a...

Thank you. If I am lucky in a few years it'll be half as nice as yours! Definitely sore all over, not excited to go back to work tomorrow haha.

Well I am exhausted, but we are DONE! I started with a brand new spray gun just to remove as many variables as possible. Yesterday I primed a speed shape, and today (after testing my pattern on a flat board) I practiced laying down the color on said speed shape. The color is really beautiful...

I lied to you, it's a '56! I didn't get a good look the first time.

I just asked for '66 to match the year of the car, honestly didn't know there was a difference. The sample paint dot on the lid looks quite dark, which I am totally fine with. I prefer darker vs lighter. I am sure it'll lighten up when I start to spray it on the light grey primer. I got the...
