Does anyone know the length of the rear frame rail after it makes its S to the rear cross sill? Doing a repairs after pulling the trunk floor pan off and both sides had different lengths. I want to get it close as I can instead of buying new frame rails.

thank you

This is the case I’m thinking of using

I have a 72 SB 727 off of a 318 E body and was wondering what it would take to convert it to a BB 727 E body for a 440? I have a 79 BB empty mobile home bell housing I can use.

It looks like the correct one. It is the same one I took off when I rebuilt it but after 40 years who knows. So I got the timing set now at 12 degree advanced with the correct spark plugs took it out and no back fire at all. Runs like a champ.

So i went got the TDC tool. Found out TDC is saying 17 on the balancer thanks for the help.

I changed out the spark plugs to the right ones. Now it only does it once in a while when i pouch it..

Thanks going to install the new plugs and see what happens.

The ones currently in the car are autolite 5224

The new ones are AC delco 7. I will have to look at the other ones when I get home.

So when I rebuilt the engine I replaced the spark plugs with the exact same that was already in the car. So I decided to order new ones today and I received them and the thread part on the plug is a lot shorter then the ones that are installed. So we will see if that's the problem.

New balancer, electronic ignition. I know it should be closer to 10-15 but if I put the initial timing to there and shut the car off it wont crank over until I move the timing.. Yes it is 25 advance of TDC.

Edlebrock 1407. timing at idle is at 25 advance if I try to put the timing at 10-15 the car won't start. Also its coming from the carb.

I have a 72 challenger just finished rebuilding it. Took it for a drive runs great except when I hit the acceleration hard it backfires. Any ideas?
