Which is single plane. Wrong intake for a stock motor I’ve been told.I did not put the carb or the manifold on the car ...

Overheating

Hi I’m having a few problems with overheating. Any suggestions. Does a cowl round the rad work. It’s a 440 standard engine. Recently rebuilt. Any suggestions really. Different coolant etc. Cheers

Re: Best spark plugs

I’d appreciate that very much. The guy that set my car up is a good lad. Knows his stuff but his stuff is Audi’s. He’s racing in a week or so at pikes peak in Colorado. But he can only set it up to what I tell him.

Re: Best spark plugs

I appreciate your input blue. It’s blacking up my plugs and there’s a definite hesitation when you kick the gas pedal down. Obviously all to cock.

Re: Best spark plugs

I don’t realy understand that.what should the timing be set at with a strobe light? Sorry I’m a bit dim when it comes to this sort of thing. I think it was set at 7.5 deg before top dead. Is that totally wrong?

Re: Best spark plugs

He did set the timing up as well from the book. I guess I’ll have to take it back down and get him To re set everything. The engine has only done about 50 miles since rebuild so it could be @ll the rebuild oil doing the damage? But thanks for the reply

Best spark plugs

Hi I’ve been using champion spark plugs in my 440. They seem to choke up pretty regular. Could anyone recommend a better plug. My car has been set up by one of those gas analizing machines by a good mate of mine. So I’m pretty sure it’s correct. Any input. Cheers

Hi my name is Jon and I’m 56. I’ve been into yanks all my life but recently more Mopar. A couple of years ago I had a 69 roadrunner but sold that and have been restoring (to my ability) a 69 440 Charger. Bought unseen (the worst) and a bit of a dog when it arrived. No boot floor or main floors for ...
