Good Luck MO with your restoration.
I like you, enjoy reading and seeing problems solved by other
guys.
A year ago, I did not really know the difference between a 440 and
an 880 as I was a Chevy man and did a lot of drag racing in in the early 1960's
at Union Grove, WI, Milan, MI, and up until last year Sunshine Dragway in
St. Pete FL with a big block NOS 55 Chevy. I just remember the Dodge
and Plymouth coming on the scene back in the early 60's and thought
they were neat.
I just really like the different look of the early 60
mopars and enjoy seeing what others are doing with similar cars. I hope to
find a 500 4 speed car after this one is done.

Thanks
for the pics David, you are contributing to my knowledge and
probably other
list members. Yep, working on my 64 Dodge 440 and
tuneing in to this
website and the mail list is a enjoyable part of my
life. Mime is a
work in progress for the past few years and soon I
can get back to it.
