This car was originally a 318 automatic. It now has a rebuilt 1968 HP 440 4 bb engine . It has Edlebrock Eliminator intake with a MOPAR performance Purple cam So it has a very aggressive idle lobe, and it is one step away from all out war when I push the pedal! I like the drive ability with the manual valve body. I am using a Chrysler type gold box Solid state ignition.I use a Heavy duty torque converter .. B&M shifter ... this car is a daily driver from California and has no rust...
