    440 stamped rocker arms for $115???

    I would think aluminum rubbing on valve stem and pushrod to rocker cup would be a mismatch leading to problems. Would be a good subject a Youtuber an make a video on to see it it lasts. I see that 440 Source now has ductile rockers now in stock...

    Instrument panel voltage regulator
  4. C

    Voltage reading low at 10.5 volts, replaced a new alternator and 2 regulators.

    Mine was ‘72 Satellite. Age or maybe a bad batch of wire. Lights would also alternate between dim and bright, tried replacing regulator still the same. New wire and connectors and now lights are steady and charges battery.

    Voltage reading low at 10.5 volts, replaced a new alternator and 2 regulators.

    I had wiring that was bad internally. Insulator looked OK, wire inside was discolored with green spots here and there. Try rewiring with new connectors and larger gauge wire and bypass the ammeter. The general Idea on older truck.

    Hoovie Buys an Alleged "Survivor" 1968 Charger R/T

    Hey Hoovie, not all of us hate you. I'm just jealous of the cars you are able to play with by making money on YouTube being a goofball. Good Luck with your career. The Wizard made me smile when he called first dibs on the R/T if you ever sold it. I'd go with a Gear Vendor OD to get your...

    I modified Holley 2300 for 6-Pack

    Had read about modifying a Holley 2300 to fit 6-Pack and could not find much info, so I'd thought i'd do a write up on what i did. Being the cheap bastard I am with more time than money, paying $800+ was too much so I picked up a used 2300 off Ebay for less than $100 and proceeded to hacksaw...

    1970 Dodge Charger value with no title

    Most people think no title means it is worth less. Maybe a bit less than Research New & Used Car Prices prices, but it is a sellar's market as there are less cars that survive every year and everybody and thier dog wants one. The prices should jump again as all building supplies have sky...

    440 issue after swapping to aluminum heads, need advice

    $.02 With the new heads I also would have bought an Edelbrock RPM dual plane and 800 AVS2 along with new distributor. My guess is the carb is not calibrated for that type of manifold, it is kind of a strange duck that did not last long. It is also possible the old dampener has slipped and...

    MSD Multi Angle Plug Wires

    Metal clips might have expanded. Other than replacing ends try smashing terminal a bit. Use padding on pliers to prevent cutting boot while squeezing. If boot breaks, they needed to be replaced anyway.

    Couple Engine Things

    That one got me. While you are at 440 Source, pick up the brackets to fit power steering along with pulleys for water pump and crank. Save time as Those are hard to find used in good shape.

    Is this 69 roadrunner worth restoring or is she too far gone.

    Graft what is left onto a Crown Vic and call it a RestoMod. Could use CV Vin to get around no title.

    How much time to replace a 318 w a 440 68 coronet

    I’d recommend getting big block in and running before trying Hemi conversion. Projects have a problem of sitting after builder gets frustrated or run out of money. Even though the Hemi conversion has been around awhile, I have never seen one in real life only in magazines. Money would be...

    How much time to replace a 318 w a 440 68 coronet

    Will take a lot longer than expected, especially if engine has been in awhile and if you have never done it before. Make sure you have a couple good jacks and jack stands and put a block or rim under car for extra insurance if car falls. Safety is one area not to cheap out on. Saws-all or...
