    440 - First Engine Build Questions

    I recently bought a 77 440 that came out of police car. I got it back from the machine shop and I have some questions. It is bored 30 over and the cast crank is ground 10/10. I have the balancer and the converter that came off of it so is it still balanced? If so, do I just have to match the...

    Didn't Make It Home From Carlisle

    I just checked it again. The initial is 30* and it advances into the 50's. It is like the balancer is off but the key puts it in the right place. I let it get hot to see if it had trouble starting but it fired right up. I don't hear anything strange when I throttle it up. I'm going to take for a...

    318willrun says in this video (3:55 in) that his truck has 30* of initial timing because the distributor is locked.

    ...resistor in it since I had one. The 318 has never run better. It fires right up and sounds great. One thing I can't figure is the timing. It has 30* of timing at idle with the vacuum advance disconnected. That doesn't seem right but it runs great. So, I pulled an engine and tore it down for...

    318 Intake Gaskets Question

    Tomorrow I am going to re-install my performer intake on to my 72 318. The Fel-pro gasket kit came with the metal 90041-1 gaskets. I had Fel-pro 1243's on it before. Does the raised side of the metal gasket go against the head or the manifold? What kind of sealant should I use on them? The...

    I replaced the condensor and started it. It made the same knocking sound. The inside of the cap looks ok to me. A toasted rotor could cause it to knock like that? It fired right up and ran. There is nothing hanging from the coil, that is a ridge on the 4 barrel intake.

    Didn't Make It Home From Carlisle

    I pulled the engine and tranny out. I got service paperwork when I bought the truck. The tranny was rebuilt by aamco in 2008 at 45,000 miles. The truck only has 52,000 now. The heads, valves, and pushrods are all good. There is a little verticle scoring in the cylinders but almost no ridge. A...

    It is making a bottom end noise that doesn't sound good. I am going to have to pull it. The explosion was strong enough to blow out a new muffler, so it probably did some damage.

    The driver's side muffler is blown out. Both ends are pushed out but I don't see any holes. The passenger side muffler is ok. I just put the dual exhaust on last summer.

    The piston is all the way up in cylinder #1 and the line on the balancer is pointing at the zero.

    I cranked #1 cylinder to TDC and the rotor is pointing at the firewall. Shouldn't it be pointing to the #1 cylinder?

    Didn't Make It Home From Carlisle

    The original owner was a Dodge dealer in VA. He got this 72 D100 in November of 71. It is points. I am having it towed home tomorrow from the garage a mile away so I can start to work on it. I think there is some serious damage because of the clanking noise. The noise does not seem to match the...

    Didn't Make It Home From Carlisle

    I have a 2 1/2 hour drive home from Carlisle. On the way home my 72 D100 stalled going down hill on the turnpike. I just put it in N and started the 318 back up. An hour later it happened again going down hill on route 56. This time I pulled off the road because it wouldn't fire up while...

    [SOLD] SBP A-Body 8.75 Axles, Brakes, & Finned Drums

    I have the SBP 8.75 axles, backing plates, brakes and drums that I took out of my 68 Dart when I switched to BBP. They originally came out of a 72 Duster 340. The splines on one of the axles looks goofy but they worked well in my Dart. I can bring these to Carlisle. $200.

    1968 Dart 270

    Good luck. I had a QQ1 blue 68 Dart 270 hardtop when I was a teenager. I love the trim on the side of the 270's.

    Carlisle Show Field

    I got my show field sticker today. I am taking my 72 D100 this year and I am in the blue show field B301. I had brought my 68 Dart the last ten years. The A-bodies have been moved to the green show field.

    Dart Suddenly Shut Off & Won't Start

    It was the positive battery terminal. I would have never checked that. I would have been drawing lines to follow my service manual diagrams and disconnecting the bulkheads looking for melted connections. Thanks FABO.

    Dart Suddenly Shut Off & Won't Start

    I started my 68 Dart this morning and backed it out of the garage. While pulling it forward to the side of the driveway it just shut off. Now, when I turn the key there is nothing. Tomorrow I will get out my tester and my service manual and try to figure it out. Any advice on where to start will...

    Is This 452 Head Ruined?

    I will probably get a replacement. It will give me something to look for at Carlisle. Thanks for all the advice.

    Is This 452 Head Ruined?

    I just tore down an old 440. One of the rocker arm supports is broken. Is this head fixable or should I be looking for a replacement?

    Should I buy this 440?

    It has a 933 oil pan with a baffle which is interesting. Here is some info from 440 Source. Shown here is an original factory USED "933" oil pan. There were supplied by Chrysler as part number 3751934 in high performance applications which included the internal welded oil baffle, and as part...

    Should I buy this 440?

    It is 77 440. I took off one of the heads today and the cylinders look okay. I don't really know what I'm looking at though. It had the original metal head gasket. I measured the deck to piston at top dead center and got .156". (I watch Nick's Garage)

    Should I buy this 440?

    I picked it up today. Here is a pic of the top pad and the 440 with a pile of parts. It has the 452 heads and is not locked up.
