Photos are on their way...in the mean time, hello from the Mopar "desert" of Southeast Missouri. Not much interest or support around here, so I am looking forward to talking with all of you Dodge brothers.
I'm not new to Mopars, having owned and sold a survivor '67 Coronet 500 factory 383. My new project is a '65 Coronet 440 hardtop that has been sitting for a long time. New floors are in progress, but frame rails are good. The stuck 318 poly is out; an '87 318 LA and 727 from a pickup is on its way in.
Here is where I need help: this is a factory ps, pb, ac car. The corroct oil pan is on its way, but I don't know which exhaust manifolds I need. Also, I would like to avoid an ignition ecu, so could I go with a standard points distributor with the petronix conversion? An aftermarket intake and 4-barrel carb are in the plans as $$$ permit.
At least I haven't got as many problems as that track dryer that just ignited at Daytona!
Any help is welcome, thanks
