I read somewhere, here or A side, that IHRA bought the WDRA. I guess that means that the only track in socal I haven't raced on is now IHRA. (Street Legal, in Perris ca). I love it! Gonna head out there as soon as I can. I think next race is next year however. A four second race is better than...

Was there ever a factory block-off plate? My 57 SD had a butchered dash, factory radio block off covered it.

Oh yeah, they're done. Dulcich and Frieburger were released/laid off/ fired, and EM went away. Motor trend TV won't even show reruns. I'm glad I have 50 or so shows on my dvr. Whether they'll ever do a similar show is unlikely, in my opinion Who will pay for the dyno time?

I've got a beam wrench still in good shape. I just wish the scale wasn't missing. It's a breaker bar now. Guess I'll have to keep using my harbor frieght clicker. (And I ALWAYS dial the tension off after use.)

Wow. I remember buying car kits and ship kits for 3-5 bucks. I'm old, lol.

Used an old belt to pull a 440/727...... but at least I used a 3" perfectly good expired race set shoulder belt. I ain't crazy!

I have four vehicles with 6V/+gr. Three Mopes, and a ford.. One in my avatar.

The (insert nationality slur here) socket set.

My theory is: use the lightest (reasonable) pistons and pins you can get. End result is it effectively makes the rods stronger, and reduces load on the bottom end. I compared my long (chevy) rod /piston/pin from my stroker to the parts that came out of my maxwedge (unknown heavy forged ashtrays...

One too many "O"s in oops, too. LOL!

Yeah. A 5.9 magnum.

My guess? The reason to use chevy parts in a Mopar is because they are usually way lighter, more available, and cheaper. But the custom work necessary always eats up any savings on parts cost. I'm only minimally familiar with sbm, but big block mopar strokers typically use chevy rods and...

.I did something similar to get my ratchet shifter high enough to suit. Covered it with the same indoor/outdoor carpet I did the rest of the interior with.

I was gonna suggest a holley refurbished. I might trust it more than a brand new one. Holley's qc of late hasn't been great. I have a brawler that has been great, but mine is a race version 850 dp, a bit different than a 1850.

Half a thousandth would be .0005. Theoretically, that mic will read to .0001. But that accuracy depends GREATLY on the touch of the guy handling the mic. And a bit of abuse..... and it'll be lucky to be within .005. (How many times was It used as a c-clamp?)
