    Adding a belt tensioner.

    I would like to add a spring-loaded belt tensioner (or an adjustable stationary one) to take up the slack on the alternator belts in my '69 New Yorker (with A/C). Both belts are about a half inch shorter than the factory ones so I can better tighten them with the alternator (with the stock...

    Timing chain replacement.

    Hello, all. Are the replacement roller timing chains from Summit any good? I'm sure a number of different brands would work, but I want to make sure that I'm not buying a lump. The 440 in my '69 NY has never been apart, and has only 56K on it, but I think it would be best to change it out...

    Refreshing my 440.

    After a road trip this weekend, I discovered that the rear main seal in my 440 has really begun to bleed, and I think it's finally time to pull the motor out and replace all the soft parts (and some metal ones, too). It's been weeping for years, but now it's beyond the point where I can live...

    What would you spend for......

    What is the going rate for a set of C-body HP exhaust manifolds? My car is a '69 NY, and the motor is a 440. I seem to remember hearing that the driver's side one is not C-body specific, or at least, is less expensive....but the passenger's side can be quite expensive and is only for a C-body...

    Carburetor spacer.

    I am looking into putting a carb spacer on my motor ('69 440, stock, in a '69 NY, with a Holley 650 on it). Heat soak is causing fuel-related hot starting issues, and I have heard that a spacer may help significantly. I am willing to try one, but how tall should it be? Should it be an open, a...

    Hood insulation.

    This may seem like a ridiculous question, but I feel I have to ask it. Strangely, I cannot find any information on the Internet about this (I keep running into sales links). I just bought a hood insulation pad and I'm looking to install it. The directions say to install it with the skin...

    The ever-persistent cam question.

    Hey, guys. At some point in the near future, I will be doing some work on the 440 in my '69 NY. Of course, I will likely be upgrading the cam and intake manifold. This car will never see the track (if I want to build a screamer, it won't weigh over 2 tons), it will spend its life under 5K...
