"Please post compression readings per cylinder wide open throttle, 6 compression strokes. Sounds like slipped timing chain. Never "throw parts" at an engine to try and solve a problem. Ask me."

"The 440 also has a timing mark attached to the front timing chain cover. That's where the magnetic pick up sensor is mounted. You may have to get under the front of the rig to see it. There's a notch in the harmonic balancer/ pulley."

"I don't have my old Dodge 440 anymore but you could check the neutral safety switch. Sometimes if that goes the ignition will NOT allow the engine to start because it thinks it's in gear. Try shifting into Neutral and starting or finding…"

Same for us. We are 1 month owners. Well, currently working out the title details with the DMV. Sellers have been helpful just didn't come up as the last on the title. Anyway, she is in our possession and the details are hopefully on their way to being ironed out. We have a lot to do and one step at a time will be our motto. Yes, compromise on the glamping, I guess. Started out as mine and hubby is so helpful I will resist the effort to go all pink and frilly:) Let's stay in touch....nice to compare notes as we go.
