15X8" Rallye in rear with 245/60/15" BFGs and 15X6 1/2" Front, with 235/60/15" BFGs..

Nope, gonna resist the 18" wheel route and low profile/Pro touring set up. Might shove the tires in a corner, but it's gotta be more fun than my Dart to try and go round a turn with /6 Bars and 500 C.I. BB...

Glad to hear.  I personally don't like the bigger rims.  They make the ride too rough.  Not enough sidewall.  I'm looking at doing a similar setup with mine.

You actually do have a car?  I don't think I've read where you've said anything about it before.

No, but I did notice the size of that rear sway bar, you are obviously planning to make this corner as well.

I've got the same size on mine.  Works really well.  :2thumbs:

No, I mentioned it in my #1000.  And yes, I do have a 69. Right now I'm still gathering  :Twocents: and info.  I'll be getting on mine shortly.

You should have got to it a whole lot sooner than that!  :nana: :nana:

Well, got a little update:

CAUTION: While the HEI Module wired into the Mopar box might work for a couple people, In my case, with about a 10.5:1 440, it doesn't like ANY RPM UNDER 1500-2000....Will begin to diesel and shut right off. If enough pumps of carb are given to get R's back up, runs "ok". Does NOT like Low RPM's for whatever reason. I guess I shoulda listened to myself and just went with the MSD to begin with. (Yes, I moved the distributor around about 10 degrees in either direction..No change).

Other than that, sounds better than I thoguht it would with the Magnaflow muffins. Dang, another $300.00 for MSD. Oh well, hope to be at least driving it around the parking lot before too cold a weather gets here. Didn't get over 200 Degrees even at 2000 RPM inside shop. Was impressed. Of course, I did replace the fan clutch and had an aluminum radiator. Gotta also get the A/C lines made up as i'm converting it to an "Orifice" type system therefore, I will need to fab up some lines.

Gettin a little closer. Swapped out the HEI for an old Mopar unit I had as a back up YEARS ago. Didn't even know if it was good or not. Fired up and at least idles now. Gotta dig a little deeper, as i have a backfire out the tailpipes, and Some pinging to control. Gonna try and brand new distributor tomorrow and MSD and see what happens.

Well, got the MSD wired and fired tonight....I had heard years ago that a "Six pack" 440 with a closed chamber head swap was around an 11:1 motor. I figured it was just hearsay....Hmmmm, this one I built ain't liking to be started when warmed up (180 Degrees). Kicks back, and Hear a "Clock" then fires...
I have set base timing as low as "0" and still does it. Right now I'm running 91 Octane Straight fuel, and it ain't happy.

I guess I might have to jimmy rig some kinda "Kill switch" to "flip" once it's spinning to get it started, or cruise to show and let it cool off before trying to restart, but htat gets old quick.  but I can't help but wonder how bad this thing is gonna "ping" under load...
Oh but the joys of hot rodding.
