The pictured block has a casting number of 3698830. 440swith casting number 3698830 were used in 1973 -1974 models. The casting date on the block is 1-23-73. The engine is likely a 1973 model year build. More information about the build is stamped on the identification pad at the front top...

The pictured engine is a 1974 440 truck engine originally built at the Trenton Engine Plant, in Trenton Michigan, on February 3, 1974. The engine has been modified some with an aluminum intake manifold. The water pump housing and timing cover have been off and painted, as well as the mounted...

The wheels in the picture are 15" x 7" M-body wheels. 235/70-15 fits okay on a six inch wheel. The following image shows a 235/70-15 on my 15" x 6" wheel:

The tires in that picture are size 235/75-R15.

The gauge can be bench tested with a 5 volt DC power source and select resistance values or the Miller C-3826 gauge tester. Set up a circuit as shown in the following diagram: To check cardinal points of the gauge, do one of the following: Using resistors Point resistances can be made using...

A somewhat light day, but among some other stuff, cleaning and shining radiator caps, then coating with catalyzed clear. Eight are from cars. The rest are spares. This is the first batch, there's another batch of a dozen to do, and few more being skipped.

The pictured broken part, is called the "horn ring retainer", Chrysler part number 2925556.

With the new information, the alternator sounds okay.

With the measured numbers, that alternator is bad. It may have the shorted brush for the application use, but the rotor is definitely shorted. It should never have made it out of the rebuilder shop in that condition. FYI: Measuring from the charging post (BAT+) to the housing is measuring the...

With the listed measurement results, the rotor wiring is shorted to the core, and subsequently to the alternator housing. Or one, or both, of the brush mounts are shorted. Resistance from either terminal to the housing should be an open circuit in an isolated field alternator. Resistance...

Not "C", but getting these two B-bodies ready to start on a long term effort. It will be a lengthy, background effort because I still have plenty to do on the other ten, plus other stuff. Both cars have been in storage and have a lot of rust. The Road Runner sat in a field for 20+ years. The...

These are not C-bodies, nor vintage pictures, but a couple of recent pictures of my two factory police cars. 1977 Fury with E68 400. This was a Dekalb County, Georgia marked car. It was originally special order paint from Chrysler, and what remained looked like base white painted to dark blue...

The rear brake support, or backing plate, for 11"x3" rear drum brakes were the same on the C-bodies and the D-body (Imperial) for each model year from 1963 - 1971. 11"x3" rear brakes were dropped for C-bodies in 1972, but continued on the Imperial into 1973. The part number changed due to...

The pictured engine is a 1977 440 truck engine built at the Trenton Engine Plant, in Trenton Michigan, on October 1, 1976 during the second shift. The first "T" in 7T440T denotes Trenton, and the second "T" denotes truck. The stamp that looks like "HP" on the engine pad was likely added by...

If the pictured speed switch for the NOx (oxides of nitrogen) control system is removed, or left disconnected, the switch signal to the control unit/thermal switch assembly will not appear. This effectively disables the NOx control because the vacuum signal from the ported advance port on the...

If you mean the part circled in the following image, ... ... Yes, it is actually this part of the parking brake cable:

The pictured new installation is arranged correctly. However, the return spring for the adjustment lever, green in the picture, is not the correct spring, nor in the correct hole on the shoe. Note the original lever return spring is heavier, shorter, and installed in a lower hole. The original...

Yes, reverse rotation big blocks were available for the counter rotating half of twin engine installations.

I've seen lists containing the lone 1970 383 entry for this casting number. It is apparently an erroneous entry. The last block casting for the 383 is number 2468130 from late 1964 - 1971. The source of the number was likely a simple mistake, misidentity or perhaps a modified/over-bored block...

Block casting number 2899830 is for a 361 industrial engine beginning in 1968 and used into the 1970s. Head casting number 2806887 was used in big block marine/industrial applications including the marine 426 wedge engine.
