It's finally moving under its own power. I dropped it down off the jack stands and sat it on all 4's for the first time in 2 years. from sitting in a barn for nearly 50 years to back on the road (almost). Due to running long tube headers, I can't use the factory oil dipstick or trans dipstick...

I got the engine and transmission installed today. It went about as well as could be expected for just a one-man show. A few scratches and forgot to remove the battery tray and bent it. I spent 2 hours trying to get the engine to drop down in place and it would line up on one side but not the...

I'm almost ready to put the engine back in the 1966 Coronet and need a Prestolite dual points Distributor # 2642482 IBS-400 6P I thought I had one bought but after sending the money via PayPal he all of the sudden backs out on me and refunds the $$. I was hoping that stuff like that wouldn't...

It's been a long year of gathering parts and waiting but I just about have everything together. It's not perfect and it's not 100% correct but I'm working on it. Still need to find manifolds and correct distributor.

I'm looking for a set of manifolds for the 426 hemi but until then I will have to go with the headers that I have. I want them to look better than they currently do and I don't think the high temp paint really works too well. Has anyone on the forum ever used Cerakote to coat their headers? I'm...

Does anyone know where I can get these stickers? I need some for my engine build but I refuse to pay $140 for the reproduction fuel filters at Year One. I can buy the filters for less than $4.00 each without anything on them. I just need the blue stickers to make them look the part. Does anyone...

I was on eBay looking for a set of pushrods and came across an old Sun Tach that someone was asking $1500 for I was thinking there was no way he'd ever sell a tach for that. So I did an Advanced eBay search for Tachometers and saw these. Almost $5,000 for a Tach? What am I missing? Out of...

I follow several Mopar channels on YT and have watched several videos on people building 383's, 440's, and 426 engines. Some people when installing the timing chain put the dots in the 12/12 position and others use the 6/12 position but none of them show how they place the distributor or plug...

I've heard that on the early 426 Hemi, the intake bolts were hex head, and later they went to an Allen head type bolt. Can anyone confirm this and if so when did they make this change? Thanks, JKent

I don't know if this has ever been discussed but after finding out that the block in my 1966 Hemi is a factory warranty replacement block. The thought crossed my mind. What did Dodge do with the damaged Hemi blocks when they were replaced under warranty? And how bad does an engine have to be in...

I'm hoping to get some ideas on the best way to install a Hemi if you don't have a lift. I know it is a very tight fit but can a 426 be dropped in from the top? With or without headers installed? Has anyone that has done it got any suggestions? In case you don't know it's going in a 1966...

Been working hard on the car the last few weeks and have the engine compartment and interior. I have the interior about 90% complete. Still have kick panels, sill plates, and seat belts to mount. Other than that it's complete. Next week I'm moving on to the suspension. I hope to have my engine...

What is a 2444814 1967 Hemi Dual Points Distributor worth? Would you go with buying the above-mentioned or a Roto Faze SRS-8P dual points? Which is better? 1966 426 Hemi build. I also got a rebuild kit for my fuel pump and will be rebuilding it. One question I have is, Was the fuel pump...

I drove out to Muscle Shoals yesterday to drop off the Transmission shell out of the Coronet at PTC. I talked to Kenny Ford (Owner) about what I was looking for. Very knowledgeable about Chrysler transmissions. He walked me through the shop and even showed me some of his own toys. He has a 1968...

I have the original oil pump that came on the engine. Is there any way to tell if the pump is good without running it in the car? Everything moves freely and I see no rust or pitting. Any other time I'd always replace the oil pump.

What is the difference between the WO/RO hood scoop and the A990 hood scoop? Does anyone make a good steel or aluminum reproduction that is not $2500 ++? Thanks, Joe

I'm sure I'm not the first with this question or issue. My 1966 Coronet had been sitting for 50 years collecting dirt and mouse poop. As I was doing initial clean-up on the inside of the car, the further I dug into it the worse it got. There were mouse nests everywhere. My main issue is how to...

Why did some Hemi's come factory with chrome valve covers and others come factory with the black crackle painted covers?
