A converter is a piece of hardware you don't want to cheap-out on. I bought a 904 converter from a trans shop in San Antonio 30+ years ago because I had no money. I also did not push the car hard but rather drove it easily as it was the only one we had. If you have a lead foot, go with a premium...

The Carb Cheater is not crude at all. It does, in fact, monitor the AFR and adjust to bring it within the range specified by their phone app. I use the CC on my 70 Duster and it helped me dial in my AVS2 to be spot on. Besides adjusting the AFR, the great thing about the CC is the ability to map...

So many companies have changed hands (and where stuff is manufactured) these days. No longer does the brand name mean quality.

It is, but also some folks over tighten that screw and stress the little bit of plastic that is on the bottom.

I have the slapstik in my Challenger and just love it. Think it's the greatest OEM auto shifter Mopar came out with.

After you get outside of Atlanta you can! Think Atlanta traffic is bad even at "O" dark thirty in the morning too...

I put a 22" cold case in my 70 duster and tried putting a mech fan/clutch in. Would not fit at all (hit the core). Pulled the rad and went 26" 3 core champion. Worked great with contour fans.

The brackets are welded on just like the CC radiators are. I guess a radiator shop *could* remove & reweld them. Lot of hassle though...

I had a Champion in my 70 Duster and was able to put on a fan (OE style with lots of pitch compared to aftermarket) and the 2947 short Hayden clutch. It fit, but not by much. I modified a shroud I got from Mancini Racing to fit. Cooled just fine. My current Duster has the 3 core Champion...

The CC radiators have a very fat core (3" on the one you linked to) so you may have problems with clearance between the core and water pump snout. I sure did, and had to go to a Champion radiator which has a 2.5 core thickness.

I always do that with my classic cars! No min wage monkey is gonna mess up my cars!!!

Just loosen the engine mounts to allow you to grab the tail shaft and align things.

Use a thicker head gasket?

Agree completely. Why the aftermarket does not faithfully reproduce the dimensions is a mystery to me.

The solenoids do not have the power to increase the throttle by themselves. They only work when first energized then when the user opens the throttle it will keep the idle higher until it turns off.
