My guess would be better scavenging. I would have thought a length of combined pipe, but then a split to 2 mufflers for less back pressure. Maybe being a race muffler, there's not enough BP to worry about.

Wish I had a better "ear to the ground", I hadn't heard anything about this till I saw that video. I just got done building & installing a 42RH. I added a drum from an A999 for extra clutch, better planetaries, Cope RMVB, etc, and built the O/D to 618 specs. But Now, as @Jason B. says "Well...

They are name brand batteries correct? I would be totally amazed, but they didn't build the batteries (or one of them) "backwards" and the voltmeter showing -1.6? Thin plastic protector film on battery that you aren't seeing because you don't have your glasses on? (that phenomenon is starting...

I came across this video the other day. Can't vouch for it, other than it's related to the topic at hand.

with an iphone, if you turn the phone sideways to landscape view, at the top and bottom of a thread, you can select what page you want to go to if that helps. on large threads, theres a ... button, if you hit that, you can type in what page you want to go to. I'm not sure how to look at a...

We had a fairly large HO setup when I was younger, I have a few pieces boxed up somewhere. I can't imagine working with something that small. Cool conversation piece though. @harrisonm "How do they get an electric motor and gears in something that small???" you ever see how small the motor...

I was going to say that. Jump style, or off an overpass or something.

Yeah, ok, I didn’t see the sport qualifier in the original post, but since I did mention I was talking about a 68, the OP would also know I wasn’t talking about the same car either.

Dude, 2nd sentence of post #14.

68 Dart hardtop in Avatar photo. 275s on it in photo.

I was running 275/60-15 on my 68. I had to trim the sheetmetal, which I wish I hadn't done. It's been so long also, but I had bought the axle assembly from someone and I think it was from a late 60's B body, but the wheels must have had more backspacing. I think they were 7" wide wheels, so the...

You keep pretty busy for a guy that’s “I’m getting bored of working on them.” I hope I can maintain that energy once I’m “bored”.

New England Pumpkin, Differential, occasionally Third Member, Never heard Chunk, or Pig until I moved south I’ve heard Eldebrock, so I asked if they’re made in Mexico. Got a pretty straightforward “no, I think they’re made here”
