Was just curious as to what’s involved in converting say a 750dp to work on a 671? I realize it requires more fuel, but what physical changes are required? I’m not considering doing anything of the sort, just curious.

For those folks using a Lokar tv cable. What is your distance from throttle shaft pivot and the cable mount on the carb in relation to the accelerator mount to the throttle shaft pivot. I’ve been fighting early shifts after following the instructions for adjusting the cable. I will note that I...

Here's what i'm planning, I have my 71 Duster, 440 Dodge, 10.0 CR, Stealth as cast aluminum heads. 231/237 @ .050 110 lobe separation 106 ICL, Weiand 1987 Hi-Ram Tunnel Ram w/2 ProForm 750 DP, 3000 stall and 3.23 gears. I picked up a pair of Quick fuel HR 450 double pumper carbs. (...

I added one quart of Torco fuel additive to approx 12 gallons of 91 California E10 swill. Without making any other changes or adjustments I’ve noticed my AFR’s down about 1-1.5 points at idle and at low speed cruise (still in the transition I’m sure). Is this a condition of a higher octane...

So I put a pair of 275/60 15 M/T E.T. Street R’s on 10” rims. Formerly had 275/60 15 Cooper Cobra’s on 8” rims. Went out and did a couple of 1/8th mile pulls. Absolutely 0 spinning, with no burnout! Picked up .31 seconds from my previous best. Check out the Dragy. Can’t wait for my first...

Is there any benefit to mounting these to a 10” wheel vs an 8” ?

The promoters of SFOB used the Jalopy in one of their Instagram stories. Oh and the Von Zipper was pretty cool too!

Just got the Stealth heads on and got it fired up. Left the timing and carbs alone. She wouldn’t idle, So I adjusted the idle speed up and fattened her up a smidge. She’s sounding real good. I’ll put another heat cycle on it then re-torque the heads. Wasn’t expecting to have to play with...

(2) 15x4 1 3/4” backspace (2) 15x8 4 1/2” backspace 4.5” bolt pattern. Nice wheels w/center caps. LOCAL PICKUP, will not ship! possible delivery within reason in NorCal is negotiable. $350 obo

I have a pair of big block 915 heads. Came off of my running motor. Nothing wrong with them other than one broken keeper from when I pulled the valves, out, and didn’t number or put them back in the holes the came from. Will come with brand new springs from 440 source for a .510 lift cam...

Ok folks, I just picked up a set of Stealth heads from 440 source. My first go around with aluminum heads. I’m preparing to install my springs and they call for 1.90” +/- .020 installed height. After measuring one head I’m getting variances from 1.860”-1.878” Now by my calculations they all...

440 with Schumacher Tri Y headers, Stealth aluminum heads, do you folks run header bolts or studs on the flanges? Inquiring mind wants to know.

Reason for asking is, the 440 source site sells reduced diameter Teflon valve seals in double valve spring applications. Quick web search has a bunch of horror stories on installing these seals. I personally have only installed Viton and had zero problems. Curious to the general consensus of...

Decided to go “old school” with the steelies and torque thrusts. I think it looks much better. Pic 1 is before Pic 2 is after What do you all think?

29* here this morning. That’s sock with the sandals weather! :lol: Seriously, I don’t envy you folks dealing with real weather!

I want to pose a question. Based on the Draggy info below, if I was to put D.O.T. drag radials on the car instead of the Cooper Cobras how much improvement might I expect in my 60’, 1/8, and 1/4 mile times?

Well Christmas came early here. Bit the bullet and picked up a pair of Proform main bodies with annular boosters for my tunnel ram. Looking forward to working through the retuning/learning process on these. Stay tuned, I’ll post updates as I move forward this winter.

Almost “new” Mancini MREAR060 Master cylinder offset adapter. Installed it and decided I really didn’t need it. Never left the garage with it on. Asking $60.00 shipped in the states. PayPal or money order.

Good morning folks. The car: 71 Duster, 440 w/tunnel ram and 2 4bbl's. 727, Dana 60, 3' drop axle in front. Yes a gasser inspired build. It has manual 11" GM style brakes up front (GM metric calipers D154 pads) and 11x2.5" drums in the rear. I'll list the parts I have on the shelf to work...

Hey folks, fellow member @Stephen Hotz is like 50 or so subscribers short of making the No Name Nationals. Let’s help him out, all you have to do is subscribe to his YouTube channel. Too easy to do. Just click the link and hit the subscribe button. :thumbsup...

This is a first for me. The car sat for a few weeks due to having stupid hot weather. Got in it to take a cruise and the brake pedal felt a little soft. Not mushy really but just a little soft. It stopped fine, didn’t feel any different in braking power or effort so I just wrote it off to not...

Let me preface this with, I DO NOT have any problems or issues with my car at this point. This is just a general question on what your process is. When using manifold vacuum for vacuum advance, do you adjust your carb/carbs idle mixture and idle speed with it connected or disconnected? If you...

Ok guys, got my idle, cruise, transition and PV tune really good and smooth. She’s running awesome. Started playing with WOT. Using my Dragy to see approximate 1/4 times and Mph. Here are a couple screen shots. The 13.04 @ 106.56 was a few weeks back with #80 jets in the secondaries...

We were on our way to a coffee and cars when the Duster saw it’s shadow. Guess that’s 6 more weeks for sweatshirts till 10am here in Ca.

Just as the title suggests, has anyone done a split Dominator setup on a tunnel ram for the street successfully?

I saw a statement on a different forum that said: Something to keep in mind....If you're trying to read spark plugs, you're pissing up a rope. Contrary to popular beliefs and arguments, you can have plugs that "look good" from a couple of cylinders with one happy and the other ready to eat...

Hey folks, just going to throw this out there. Posted on a different forum and thought why not here too. I'm looking for some direction in a lean condition at cruise. I suspect it is related to the transition between the end of the transition slots and the beginning of the mains coming on. I...

Went to a local show today put on by a Corvette repair/restoration shop. Never been a huge fan but this one was growing on me, and yes that’s a 426 max wedge.

I know it’s not to everyone’s liking, but IMO it’s still the coolest car in the work parking lot!
