My brother has a MSD distributor on his 440. He is currently getting spark from his distributor but none to the spark plugs. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? It was working fine last summer.

I recently purchased a Powr-Lok clutch pack for my 8 3/4 rear end from Doctor Diff. When I received it it had 4 flat clutch discs, 4 flat plates and 2 curved plates. The service manual calls for 2 flat discs and 2 curved ones. My sure grip has 2 flat and 2 dished discs. Does anyone know if the...

What is the proper torque for the pinion nut on an 8 3/4 rear end with the 741carrier? It said 40 ft-lb in one reference book and it seems to me that it should be closer to 240 ft-lbs.

I've seen both one piece pinion thrust spacers and 3-piece ones. Does it matter which I use in my 741 housing with clutch type sure grip? I don't have green bearings.

I'm trying to restore the bumper jack for my 66 Satellite. Does anyone know what paint or other treatment I need for the mast?

Has anyone installed a Lokar kick down cable on a Thermoquad carb? Since the Lokar works backward compared to the normal kick down some modifications have to be made to the carb. Is there a kit for that? How about if I switch to a Holly double pumper?

I currently am using the 1 piece kick down linkage and want to change to the 3 piece. Engine is a 440 and the transmission is a '72. Do I need to replace the lever on the tranny or are they the same?

I have an electronic distributor that has a box attached to it (houses some electronics?) This box hits my intake manifold (Edelbrock performer 440) and prevents me from getting my timing set properly. Can I shift the plug wires counterclockwise one hole or do I have to notch the manifold? It's...

My car has 255/60/15's on it and a 3.55 posi rear end. I put a 34 tooth speedometer gear in the 727 but it appears that the speedometer reads 8 to 10 mph fast at 50 mph. Anyone have any idea what's wrong? Everything I've seen says that 34 is the correct gear.

Does anyone have a picture of the kick down linkage and/or a description of the proper way to adjust it for a 440 with the newer style (73 and up) 727? The newer style only uses 2 rods and one pivot while the older uses 3 rods and 2 pivots.

Has anyone replaced the rear main seal on a 440 with the engine still in the car? Is it possible and are there any tricks I need to know before attempting it?

I just fire up my 440 after a rebuild. Bored .030, cam& lifters, new bearings, new high volume oil pump, new water pump etc. Initially I had 75 psi oil pressure. after the engine warmed up it would not hold 20 psi at idle and only went up to about 30 at 2000 rpm. Any ideas on what the problem...

I'm building a 440 to put in my 66 Satellite and having problems finding the right combination of pulleys for the crank, water pump, alternator and power steering. Anyone know what works? Pictures would help also. Thanks

Does anyone know if the crank pulley mounting holes on cast and steel crank dampers are different? I'm trying to get the correct pulley combination (crank, water pump, alternator, power steering) for my 440.

I have a torque converter that is about 1 inch small than standard, 11 inch diameter versus 12 in. Does anyone know what stall speed that would indicate or is there some way to determine it without it being in my car? I'm hoping that is somewhere around 2000. Knowing what it is will help me...

Are there any differences in torque converters and flex plates on internally balanced and externally balance engines? If so how can you tell which is which?

Anyone know what to torque the pinion nut on a 8 3/4 "741" rear end? I saw a table that called for 40 ft lbs but that doesn't sound right.

I just started ti disassemble a 75 440 that I plan to rebuild and found that it had a '452 head on the right side and a '975 on the left. Do you think it came from the factory that way or had work done on it? Valves all look good and the cylinders show almost no wear so i don't think it has many...

My 727 is leaking from somewhere in the front. I've replaced the front seal but it didn't fix the problem. Could a plugged cooling line or radiator cause it to leak? I would like to fix the problem without removing the tranny again, but that probably isn't going to happen, is it. Any help would...

I think I knew the answer to this at one time but now I guess I'm old and senile. I have a 3.55 ring and pinion from a 741 case. Can they be used in a 742 or 489 case? Is there a difference in the ring and pinion between the open and posi units? Thanks
