I can play too. Just brought these back from Indiana along with more of the hemi parts as I find them in the barn. These are .005 over NOS. Also got an identical NOS set at .020.

Here's a few. There's more around here, plus Mopar Performance labeled stuff. A lot of items are installed and in use, some for years.

These are USA made orange ECUs, from 1986 and 1988. One is unused, but bench tested, the other is lightly used. Both good.

Here are some Direct Connection Tune Up Tips that I've had since the 70s. These were also under the predecessor "Special Parts" program. These are the type-written photocopied documents that predated the bound books. Actually the initial bound books were collections of these.

Direct Connection Tags. Also a Mopar Performance and a couple of Chrysler internal tags (internal but available externally).

A couple of more Direct Connection ECUs:

P4120534: Purchased in the early 80s. Serving duty in my Challenger T/A with 440 Six Pack, but was also used with the 340.

P4007298: Purchased and installed on my T/A in 1979 with a Direct Connection distributor and a parts car wiring harness replacing the factory dual point distributor. It actually came with the production style Electronic Ignition sticker. It still works but swapped by the previous ECU.

Direct Connection chrome valve covers on this 1978 440.

These are the taller valve covers adapted from the production version introduced on 400 and 440 high performance engine in 1976.The valve covers were taller than earlier covers, or standard B engines for clearance due to the RTV type gasket material used which was thinner than regular gaskets. Note that the oil filter seen here is used just for painting. It was replaced by a Wix before use.
 
Found two more NOS parts in the pile. Less parts to hunt to build the 18 spline A-body 4 speed. Sweet.
