I can't say for sure, but I do know that at 101,000 miles, you should be thinking about replacing the timing set on that engine. The teeth stripped off mine at almost exactly 99,900 miles.I do not believe that the engine becomes damaged should the timing set fail, but at that mileage, I'd rather do it and know its good. It is easy to check for looseness simply by watching the time it takes for the rotor in the distributor to move when cranking the engine. If its loose, I would go ahead and replace it before it leaves you sitting.Paul W. -----Original Message----- From: tdkd99@xxxxxxxxx To: mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 7:40 AM Subject: IML: 73 440 Does anyone know for certain if a 73 440 is an interference engine or not? I still debating on a timing chain and gear replacement on my 73 with 101,000 miles. I recall the small block Chrysler engines would basically self destruct if the cam sprocket stripped.
