    Coolant capacity

    It looks like the 440 in my 68 coronet RT takes about 18 quarts of coolant. Can anyone tell me approximately how much of that coolant is in the engine block? Also, if the two black drain plugs are polled does that drain the block almost completely?

    No clutch pedal repaired

    Driving up Gratiot Avenue, I went to shift and the clutch pedal went down to the floor with no resistance at all. I threw the trans into neutral, quickly got over to the right hand lane, and had just enough momentum to turn into a driveway. I don’t know if this was a sign, but it was the...

    440 HP RPM redline

    What was the redline for a 1968 440 4bbl 375 HP motor as defined by the company? I notice that it seems each Tic-Toc-Tach has a 5000 RPM redline. Does that mean that all 440's, 383's, and Hemis had the same redline? Were factory installed tachometers just eye candy? Has anyone ever compared one...

    carb spring bracket location

    Does the bracket for the carb throttle return spring attach to this hole in the head, or does it go under the first intake bolt? Or is that hole in the head for the battery ground wire?

    Shifter hitting dash

    Just got the engine and trans installed. After I bolted on the shifter and shifted through the gears, the shifter is hitting the dash in reverse and first, and almost in third. I am not positive, but I think this style shifter was OEM in a 68 RT. Is there some linkage or other kind of adjustment...

    68 Coronet. Converting to a 4 speed. I have to buy all the bolts for flywheel, clutch, bellhousing, and starter. What was the reason for the stud and bolt configuration for the starter? For the stud to orient the starter and make it easier to get the bolt started? Can I just use 2 bolts instead...
