Title: Looking to purchase some parts, need recommendations plz.
Post by: rdf on July 10, 2020, 03:39:22 PM
Looking for recommendations for plugs and wires and an external fuel pump for my 440 Stroker. 

For the wires, I prefer black cables to go along with the theme of the motor.  I see most places have 8mm and 10.4mm wires but I don't know the difference between them.

And I'm looking for a good external fuel pump as well.  I'm not knowledgeable in this area at all so any advice would be appreciated.

Mallory 110 for the fuel pump , quiet & efficient .
Firecore for the wires , , the 10 mm just have more insulation .
I like simple , Champion or Autolite for plugs

Do I need to buy the relay kit for it as well?

The relay is just a heavy duty switch either way you are running power all the way to the rear of the car for the pump so you can use a switch rated for the power or switch it with a relay , it depend how you want to source the power , if you are planning to have it turn on using the key & factory wiring  then I would use a relay , I would source power from the start relay under the hood .

Looking for a recommendation for motor mounts.  It's a 73 Cuda with a 440.....are both sides the same?  I've seen some places say they are and others say they are not.  I don't believe they are the same but would like a more knowledgeable opinion. 

I'm also looking for an OPS switch....I have AutoMeter gauges and the port hole in in the back of the block so I'm not sure the factory size switch will fit back there.  Here's one I was looking at....will it work?

Any links for purchasing/pricing would be great as well.   :help:

Rubber insulators are the same both sides. Steel engine brackets are different side to side.
