Another consideration is as wire gets older the natural resistance increases. That adds to the ohm reading and will throw off your gas gauge. These cars are 50+ years old now. I replaced my tank unit and it reads the same 3/4 as it did with the old tank unit. I fill up when I see 1/8.

I installed a set from 440 Source right out of the box on my 440, their version of a 509 purple shaft, and their lifters, and pushrods. I used the stock stamped steel rockers and Fel-Pro head gaskets and everything is fine for more than a year now. Runs strong. I'm satisfied.

I used SSBC and yes there is a new owner. I had to have the two 5/8 in holes drilled out on the caliper mount but other than that is fits and works great. A bit more pricy than other brands too.

I got this original style chrome one from Mancini Racing. They also have the black ones. I added the 440 Four Barrel sticker because I cannot find the correct 440 Super Commando Pie Tin. I like it.

Are you going with the cold air hood assembly?

Nice!! I see you have a lift. Man those things are a lifesaver huh?

Cool. What brand power steering box did you use??

Thanks

Thanks

Tony's Parts maybe. It seems like a lot of after-market parts are not being made anymore. I can't find 440 air cleaner pie pans anywhere. Someone said Chrysler is not making or licensing parts to be made anymore. Maybe they want us all to go to the Gen 3 HEMI.

I installed a shroud with an electric fan. It was 108 degrees F here yesterday, and this is as high as my gauge got. It was driven and then left to idle. Too high????

On a stock 69 temp gauge, what are the actual from-to numbers in the safe zone? Looks like 170-230 F from what I can find online but does anyone know for sure??

I used a 440 block from a 1976 Winnebago. I tore it down and had my machine shop clean, magnaflux, install new cam bearings, and bore it 30 over. I had a steel crank and LY rods. Got some Wiseco Pistons for about 10:1 comp. Edelbrock RPM Performer, 440 source heads. 509 cam, TTI headers and used...

When we were kids and saw reverse lights on all the time, we were told that it was a Fast Car. It was "All Hopped Up." What a great memory.

I got the same valve covers. I found a pin-stripe guy who painted my MOPAR HEMI orange. I have leaks. I have a set of cork gaskets I will give a try. Sometimes, the old-school way is best. Now if I can find a 440 Super Commando pie pan.
