    The 440 and Pesky Valve Covers

    They have to be straight as an arrow. They suck. That's why you always saw Mopars with aluminum valve covers, even cabs and police cars.....they were thick and didn't warp. Get the rail as straight as you can, and OPTIONAL: from the underside, dimple it upward (away from the head casting) a tiny...

    68 Hemi Cuda Holley carb question

    I'm just curious if any of you have 68-69 Hemi car with the Holleys...what jets are you using? I don't have the original carbs, like everyone else but I'm just about dialed in. I should have asked here first. I like Holleys, once you finally reach the sweet spot nothing runs like them.

    Lunati hydraulic roller lifters

    You have got to measure every last thing now. I know about rollers, but a lot of use aren't running them. They make it easier though. But you need to have crown on 16 lifters and taper on each lobe ...and each journal had better be right. If that lifter quits rotating that engine is gonna have...

    WTB Overhead Console Dome Light Switch Cover

    Tony or Mark Worman. Those are so hard to find

    Lunati hydraulic roller lifters

    All I can say is that m ost of them get their lifters from the same place (China). You have to check everything when it arrives. Lifters, cam lobes, bearing journals, all of it before you install it no matter the brand, but especially the lifters. If you get one with no crown on it, you will...

    WTB Neg cable Hemicuda

    Thank you both. I'm running down both leads, and very VERY much appreciate it. I have already got a message from a scammer who opened an account today to contact me about "their friend that has top shelf stuff". Reported it. Thanks again

    Suggestions for a 727 replacement Automatic

    Is it a whine? A growl? Could be a few things. TC, pump etc.

    Painting order...fender wells coating...71C

    Wait 'til you get a Daytona or 500. Take the lead off and carefully get the rear window plug out and you'll see all the rust where they did some grinding and just said f***k it and put the plug in and slapped it together and painted it. Some got moisture into areas where there was bare metal...

    Bad lifter

    I think a lot of folks are on edge with all of the quality issues we are seeing. Being diligent and possibly over doing it won't hurt you. Missing something can cost you thousands.

    Bad lifter

    Did you have to get pushrods made? I had one do that and all it turned out to be was two valves weren't quite closing all the way. I backed them off a bit and that solved it

    Painting order...fender wells coating...71C

    Very Little Paint is right. As in they missed huge areas. Under the rear shelf. Inner quarters, often in the cowl and inner (medial) areas of the rockers etc etc. When you restore a MoPar, you are almost always upgrading the paint and corrosion resistance. There is a reason these things went to...

    Bad lifter

    Never used to hear of lifter drama. Now whenever someone say "lifter failure", 30 people are saying "I'll bet it was Comp Cams" Comp cams, are you guys reading this?

    voltage to instrument panel lights?

    I can't remember when's the last time I've seen a Frisbee. Probably about the last time my vote counted

    voltage to instrument panel lights?

    Do what's posted directly above, or even use a copper scouring pad from the grocery store. Avoid LED's. Chances are half of them will die out in a week and you'll have to go back in there and start all over again. Keep the Chicoms out of your dash, you'll be a lot happier. Also, you don't really...

    Aar exhaust manifolds

    Someone made the manifolds for a while I thought, but I forgot who.

    Modern battery operated tools

    Those are nice. I can't go long without using mine. No cord or air hose

    NASCAR Hemi

    That last photo is significant. The factory dual four Carter intake was worthless to Nascar, and really most racers. I am aware that the single Holley solid tappet engines were widely available not only via parts, but also directly from Chrysler in you were in their network. As stated, these...

    Looking for an intake manifold for my 440

    ....And the cam works for the flow characteristics of the heads etc. etc.

    '70 Vert - waited long enough...

    I would say those shekels look better than the instructors' welds at our local tech schools. They would hire you
