I’m back!

[///Matt]

Hi everyone! I’ve technically been a member a few years now, but stopped coming around when I sold my ‘72 Charger...

But the wife just decided she wanted this beauty for her daily, so we’re back to B-bodies! ‘68 Sport Satellite with a 440 (318 car)

Now to find a good service manual, and a good book on the 440, since its my first Mopar RB.

Ok, your wife wanted it *wink* *wink*

Welcome back brother

Haha she did though. She’s an enthusiast. She has a couple of classics, and she grew up in her dad’s shop, who spent his entire career restoring and hotrodding classics.

Yeah - and you wanted the white laced curtains for the bedroom aye? I know a lot of women like those lift off six pack hoods...... probably the only car you could find that fit her price range. Lol.

Sweet ride - hope “she” enjoys it...

Welcome back bro

BTW - you can get a good reprint of the FSM on Amazon for $50

Should be pleased with the 440

Should be pleased with the 440

It’s got a great sound, but it’s definitely starving for more air/fuel... runs well, but lacks the oomph that 440 should carry. I built a 318/904 in my 72 charger that had at least as much go, and definitely roasted the tires easier... I’ve got to get around to checking all the plugs/timing, tuning the carb, and see what happens. It sure could use a 6-pack in place of the Holley 750 though!

From what I've been learning being a member here apparently alot of guys over cam them, then they sound good but don't preform good. I have a 67 r/t very stock that i didn't over cam years ago and it ran very well 750 carter afb. I recently replaced the engle hughes cam from 1998 with a cam from mr 6 pack i just broke that cam in yesterday. So hot here in Cincinnati waiting for nicer day and take a drive and report back here on the performance. hopefully you can tune yours uo and get it performing the way you like.
