    Video of my first time to the track 71 Valiant 416 4spd

    Awesome ! Row faster, and stop lifting your right foot between changes. That shift shock also unsettles the car on the 2-3-4, and pulls down the motor leaving even more ET on the table.

    71' dart 28" x 9" Slicks

    Same setup here in the Dart. Had 15x8 Super Tricks with the same MT ET Drag 28x9 Slicks. Those Super Tricks were 4 3/4 BS. Worked perfect with the 002/003 SS Springs since the quarter opening lip was above the center of the sidewall. When I switched to the Cal Tracks and the car got slammed in...

    spark plug dilemma

    I agree with the above but want to add to check your rear float level. Also a possible vacuum leak at the rear of the intake. Those rear cork gaskets are tricky and usually need a generious dab of sealer at the corners.

    Looking for a Rocky mountain dash for my 68 dart

    As Joe said they pop up here and there since they have been out of business for almost 2 years now. Also look up redline gauge works. They have blank gauge clusters that you can customize with your own cluster setup. http://www.redlinegaugeworks.com/products.asp

    repro cardboard glovebox 73duster

    Don't know if it helps but my cardboard liner has been in and out no problem from the front on my 76 Swinger. Have to remove the screws for the door hinge, the cable that holds the door, the latch on the top and the lamp lens cover and socket from inside.

    Hey Chris good to see you over here. SSR is a cool cat folks. He got a raw deal over there. I've been on FABO since the beginning and it really is a great site.
