I have had Hookers, Doug's, and now TTIs on my 69 and Headmans on my old truck. I'm sold on the TTI headers. Expensive these days but well worth it.

I got the upgraded advance springs from you for my 440. Runs like a dream. Thanks again.

I tried a Flaming River quick ratio manual box. It was too hard to turn. Went back to the power. Got a bit of play but much easier to drive. I'll try to adjust that play out soon.

How much did you have to disassemble to get it done?

Good luck buddy. I had to do the same way back with the 383 and the 906 heads. It was easy with the engine on the stand, but in the car, I used my engine hoist. Hope you have aluminum heads and manifold now or you can use your hoist like I did.

Thanks. I will do that.

Since you guys mention the bushings, it makes sense, especially since I did a front disc brake conversion at the same time I installed the 440. I had to unbolt the lower control arm from the spindle. I wonder if I damaged something. Also, I have a bit of play in the steering even though all the...

Yeah. These cars are 55 years old now. Rattles and creeks are part of life.

If you mean the ones on the torsion bars? Looks like black rubber.

Yes. It seems to be fine. I replaced both sides when I put it back together this time. Sounds more like it is coming from the passenger side front. I'm still checking stuff.

Thanks. I will do that.

I have a creaking or popping sound when I take off. I can't figure it out. It didn't do it with the 383. Happens during normal take-offs, not a hard launch. The clutch is the same one I had with the 383, maybe 1500 miles on it. Any ideas?

Correct. The answers is no. The wiring is different and the 5 pin uses a dual ballast resistor.

This is what Halifaxhops says. "4-pin works fine as a replacement on a five-pin system, but you can't use a 5-pin on a system designed for the 4-pin."
