'64 Dodge 880 [IMG]
I'm not sure about that explanation. Without the capacitor, I've seen voltage spikes of hundreds of volts across the points with an oscilloscope,...
Found this redneck sonic cleaner. [MEDIA]
NOS parts are often different than what was used on the line. Old Mopar backing plates were phosphate black plated. Black exhaust manifold paint...
Is the ground from the plug to the negative side of the coil substantial? Regardless of what the charger says it's putting out, it's probably...
How many cylinders did the original motor have? That's very important.
I've never even seen a low beam only 5.75" sealed beam.
Prices have dropped in half recently. His probably doubled.
Lots of info here: Polyspherical Engine Association
Have you ever seen one? The 500cid Caddy hearse sounds good to me. Many Mopar wagons came with 440s, and if you get one that didn't, the swap is...
Don't even bother with a 904. Unless you need that last oz. of weight reduction for a race car and can deal with failures and teardown...
Why do you want to use clear? Why not paint or flattened paint?
I think that motor was only made from '59 to '62. It was revised a bit for '63 and bored and stroked to 429 in '64. They kept that motor until...
If this is a race motor, does it have an adjustable valvetrain? It should more than take care of thicker headgaskets. You want around .040"...
Besides just the motor, one must think about the entire package. A high HP motor needs big heads to flow the fuel/air. Big heads need big...
When gas is $3.50 a gal., which is what I just paid, what's another $.20 for super?
Did you bench bleed the master? You put it in a vise and have hoses that are usually supplied in the box, pointed into the reservoirs. You then...

What aluminum alloy is it? Unless it's got Alclad on it, it will start corroding pretty fast. On aircraft, the only bare aluminum parts have...
This ad says it's from 1933: http://motorcycles.about.com/library/motoads/nad_HDad136_33.htm Looks like the classic biker jacket to me.
I don't see a "jet" engine or turbine in any of the pics. A turbine would be in the engine compartment, but with a V8 there, the jet would be at...
Does this count? It does pull the tires.
Yes. I couldn't believe it either. I moved to Seattle, WA and when I went back to visit, I saw the Walmart with a Burger King on the corner....
What year is it? All '71 and earlier 440s are forged and internally balanced. You should be able to get a forged steel crank cheaper than...
BB Mopar RB cranks have a 3.75" stroke.
Sounds like you need a 500CID motor swap. As far as satin black, do you mean primer? I agree as far as protection goes. Does epoxy primer come...
When in manual low, do you have engine braking?
What about material? What can be used with steel? I used what the drawing called out for, so I didn't have to check for compatibility of...
The Charger, not the Mustang.
You can't use an air hammer like someone else already said. Must be a rivet gun. I agree with the size, also. 4x, or a Jiffy 400. Also, what...
