    Deep into rewiring!

    That is some serious "additional" wiring you got going on Mike, looking awesome. I don't have to tell ya, make some good electrical diagrams as you proceed, the next slub that inherits your baby will need them one day.....

    Troubleshooting gauge cluster

    Make sure your bouncing speedo needle is NOT because of a worn speedo cable or driven gear. But I agree, do all the maintence/rebuild NOW while it out.

    1972 Charger Electrical Issue

    When I pulled the dash assemble on my 73 I had overheating/melting issues at the bulkhead electrical connector , at the steering column connector as they bypassed the original amp meter. As you are learning now the main power load wire from your alternator to the amp meter and then back out to...

    Best Quality Mini Starter?

    Several posters have stated the starter heat shield wrap seemed to make things worse and instead fabed a simple metal shield along the same design as the stock spark plug shields next to the manifolds. That is the route I plan to take.

    Can you identify the year of a engine harness...

    I need to get the numbers off the 727 that I pulled from the car. It may be a 1974 tranny. A PO in the past swapped out the original four speed and put in an auto and different 8 3/4 rear. I would bet thats where the engine and harness also came from. Pretty sure Im not going to use it Nacho...

    Can you identify the year of a engine harness...

    Can t see another digit on part number. Appears a PO had cut out wiring for the electronic ignition as engine was running a point dizzy. Just curious what it came from. They had bypassed the amp meter and I am wanting it all back factory original.

    Can you identify the year of a engine harness...

    Guys, pulled this engine harness off my 73 and noticed it seems modified and pretty sure it is NOT original to a 73 400/440. Found two numbers on the tag near the bulkhead connection; can we tell what year and what engine it is from: numbers 95329C and 376495. Car was a factory 4 speed but had...

    I need..what are they called? Wiper Bearings?

    Ive got a few of the Dormans in service now and I must say was not impressed. Had to do some mods to get workable results. I would be glad to try the Mega Parts ones, but how do we know they are not the same as the Dormans, anybody had both to check out.

    How long will a set of "hot" points last...

    Thanks Nacho, I just assumed the resistor bypass would have been for points only and would NOT be on the "new" electronic ignition system that started in or around 1973 I think. Was not aware , as Tony pointed out , that the ballast resistor was variable,hmmmmnnnnn. And now understand WHY the...

    How long will a set of "hot" points last...

    Plan is to use the stock coil for break in. I know all the old Chevies had a bypass wire from the starter to the coil to provide 12-13 volts to the coil while the starter was cranking...just assumed Mopars did also. I assumed this provided a greater spark to get her fired up.

    How long will a set of "hot" points last...

    Guys, getting close to doing a cam break-in on my freshly rebuilt 440 and got to wondering how long has anyone ran a set of points at 12-13 volts before you began to notice engine run degradation to severe misfireing. Just curious , how long can they take the heat......

    How to bench test dash backlights.

    My 73 had a red, yellow and orange pin out on the dash wiring harness I used to check all the lamps at reinstallation time. Does Gregs 67 have something like that or was that used on later models.....

    1974 Rally dash wire schematic.

    All the orange lites go into the "blue" on the back of the gauge pak. Other oranges go down into the heat/AC control. Then the actual gauge plug ins should have the color listed on the back by each spot/termination. My 73 did. The orange 3 wire is a test point to power up all the orange...

    BYPASS the AMMETER? (1969 A12)

    Not sure yet on dual or single fan, temp sensor switch for sure. Sounds like your preferred 100 amp Tuffstuff would be the safest, trouble free route for most needs....thanks....would mid /late eighties alts have serpentine pulleys...would they swap/accept our old v groove pulleys...

    BYPASS the AMMETER? (1969 A12)

    WOW, great info thread Guys, just pulled my 73 bulkhead apart and found the melted "black wire" terminal, now understand why and how to fix. I want to add AC and electric fans ,more load, Nacho, what year and model alt can I ask for at auto parts store that will give us the highest amp alt...

    What plugs for a 68 440 motor.....

    Yes on 0.004 below deck and yes on seeing how pump gas will work. Just two notches on the pistons, not four. Will start with the NGKs...thanks much..

    What plugs for a 68 440 motor.....

    Ok, BSB, your questions prompted me to relook and you indeed are correct. My 440 block, 2538430, was cast 11-4-66 and the 915 heads I pulled from this engine, 2780915, were cast in 67. HP BB Mopar book states they were a 67 year only, had closed chambers and another source said they were 74 cc...

    What plugs for a 68 440 motor.....

    Thanks Guys, just the info I was looking for. I assume the stock gap for a 73 was .35 and all of these will be fine opening them up to .45 provided I got the juice to fire them. Was informed opening up plugs more than stock gap with a stock electronic system will lead to misfires.

    What plugs for a 68 440 motor.....

    Guys, hopefully getting closer to firing up my first home rebuilt bb. I have put an HEI system for this motor and want to open the plug gaps to .45. Some had suggested some NKG plugs but they were almost 3/4 inch long. That would have put almost a 1/4 inch of threads INSIDE the combustion...
