I have a stock-style damper and timing cover. Do I just estimate where 34 is?

I did that and it sealed perfectly. Thanks

Mancini's housing uses two side seals on each side. It may work better but I'm sticking with the stock unit.

All good now. Thanks for the comments. Don't scrap it, J-B it.

Yes. Just oil draining back into the pan pushed out by blow-by pressure inside the block when revving. Enough to spurt on my headers and smoke and stink. Nothing at idle.

OK, all patched up. We will find out in 24 hours. Just a bit of blow by in the block, so the JB Weld should hold.

I am too. Maybe in the future I will change them too.

I finally found it. It's a pinhole leak in the block about 4 inches up from the pan behind the starter. Maybe from the casting process at the factory. JB Weld to the rescue.

IT"S ALIVE!!! A few oil leaks but all in all a big success. Really happy with the 440.

Update. Use the stock housing. I had leaks on my 383 and 440 using the Indy housing. Great idea, but stock is better.

I got it all done and driving. Man, that makes a big difference. I really like the disc brakes. I recommend doing this on any classic. Well worth the cost and effort.

If you are happy with the way it runs just take it out and clean it up. Of course, remember where it is clocked and the firing order. Get a new cap and wire brush the outter housing, put a few drops of oil in the center shaft and you should be fine. I like to restore parts rather than replace...

The stock housing fixed it. I couldn't wait till the winter. Oh well, lesson learned.

Got a set of springs from Halifaxhops according to the numbers on my distributor and my engine specs. So far it runs strong. He knows his stuff.

I'm going to use the stock housing with the blue side seals that came in my Fel-Pro kit. What a disappointment. I finally get the pan and valve covers to seal and this.

Finally got my 440 kicking and all seems good except for the damn rear seal. My 383 leaked too. I used the billet aluminum setup from Indy Cyl. Heads. Guess I have my winter project all lined up. What have you guys had success with?

VERY NICE!!! I'm sure you need some strong cooling for that dude.

Here is mine. I have the correct adjustment nut on order. Thanks for all the help.

Check out their locking clip. That aint right. That's cool. It shows what I needed.

Perfect. That's what I needed. That's how mine is. The angle goes toward the drive shaft. Thanks
