Good luck buddy. I had to do the same way back with the 383 and the 906 heads. It was easy with the engine on the stand, but in the car, I used my engine hoist. Hope you have aluminum heads and manifold now or you can use your hoist like I did.

Thanks. I will do that.

Since you guys mention the bushings, it makes sense, especially since I did a front disc brake conversion at the same time I installed the 440. I had to unbolt the lower control arm from the spindle. I wonder if I damaged something. Also, I have a bit of play in the steering even though all the...

Yeah. These cars are 55 years old now. Rattles and creeks are part of life.

If you mean the ones on the torsion bars? Looks like black rubber.

Yes. It seems to be fine. I replaced both sides when I put it back together this time. Sounds more like it is coming from the passenger side front. I'm still checking stuff.

Thanks. I will do that.

I have a creaking or popping sound when I take off. I can't figure it out. It didn't do it with the 383. Happens during normal take-offs, not a hard launch. The clutch is the same one I had with the 383, maybe 1500 miles on it. Any ideas?

Correct. The answers is no. The wiring is different and the 5 pin uses a dual ballast resistor.

This is what Halifaxhops says. "4-pin works fine as a replacement on a five-pin system, but you can't use a 5-pin on a system designed for the 4-pin."

What's wrong with the old one? This diagram may help.

If it is the alternator, it's usually the brushes that go bad. They are very easy to change. CX1T is the part# for the brushes. You can find them online or at a parts store. One more question. What is that exposed fuse at the bottom of the alternator picture? Not normal.

Will a 5 pin box work with a 4 wire setup? Will it even start?

This is a cool chart.

No. It never ends. It's always something, but that's the fun with this hobby. Right??

Having the same trouble. 1st to 2nd hangs up occasionally. Nothing different but the Pistol Grip shifter. I will try the Pennzoil. Thanks

I like my 440 Source heads. They fit great and I have no problems with them. They are a closed chamber design compared to an open one like the 906s. A ton lighter too.

The 440 Source Stealth heads are designed to look just like the original 906 heads. Paint them and the only one that will know is you.
