Best guess, the ground wasn’t really grounded because the plastic relay was insulating it on that side. So the power was back feeding through the other circuits. I had something similar happen when I added add relays.

Mine has subframe connectors, and I have upgraded a lot of the suspension including 17" wheels. I drug my feet for years over cutting the floor for a 6 speed, and have since bought a '73 Duster to put the G3/T56 in. I have several modifications made to the numbers matching motor plus several...

I'm dying to get out and drive mine. Long winter and a back injury kept me from dropping the trans to figure out why it was getting stuck in 4th. Got it done now and fixed a couple of other issues and seems like the weather is playing games with me.

I wonder if this kit would work. COMP Cams 4504-16 COMP Cams Magnum Rocker Arm Studs | Summit Racing

UBJ can be an issue, but usually it is the outer tie rod that is the biggest limiter.

If it was me, I would do a 17x8 minimum with a 245/45 tire on the front. Since the offset looks to be custom, if you are (or plan to) run stock brakes, a +24mm offset should work. This is effectively what I have on the front of my Duster and didn't have to do a thing to the fenders. If you...

Very cool!

Ouch. That Holley FEAD does move everything forward, didn’t think it would be that big of an issue though. Might have to look at a dual fan setup. Glad to see you still making progress either way.

I could be wrong about this, but seems like I have heard that not everything got onto the fender tag every time. Makes sense than N41 would since it was part of the 360 package, but maybe not the N42 tips if it was an option? Mine doesn’t have tips, so I’m not help beyond the N41 dual exhaust.

There is some possibility that the '75 and '76 E58 non-CA motors didn't have single exhaust and cats. Here is the factory offerings for '75 - https://www.hamtramck-historical.co...DataBook/1975/75-1-Dodge-engineering_0004.jpg Here is the '76 offerings. -...

Love seeing progress on this car.

I don’t know of a registry, but the link Blu posted is close. I will get you added to the running list at some point soon. Not that I am the only one that do can, but I did start the thread so I have been updating it as people come and go.

It is possible that the federal E58 from ‘75-‘77 didn’t get a single exhaust or a cat.

The dealer info stills says 8.4:1 for ‘75 and ‘76. My guess is the power loss is due to tuning changes to get the motor through emissions with the dual exhaust and no cats. Assuming the link I posted had an accurate recollection and the ‘75 and ‘76 A-Body did still had dual exhaust and no cat...

I found it interesting that the '75-'77 E58 is listed with dual exhaust. I figured the drop in HP/TQ between '74 and '75 was due to having to use a single exhaust and a cat, but I found this post that makes me think they did actually keep the dual exhaust through at least probably '76. Not...

That's interesting. I would have argued that the 650 number was maybe someone misreading it (6 does look like 8). I've always heard of them as rated at 800 and 850 cfm. Looking at the list of TQ numbers, it does appear that the later E58 motors did get the smaller (1 3/8" primary) TQ, so that...

Here is the factory offerings for '75 - https://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/dealerships/DealershipDataBook/1975/75-1-Dodge-engineering_0004.jpg Note that there were two versions of the E58 that year, federal and CA. For the federal motor, torque peak RPM is the same as for the '74...

That article is funny. It mentions a 650 TQ as well. And the prototype got a 252/252 cam while the production EH1 got the 340 cam?

No argument.

I posted magazine 1/4 miles times earlier, not that I am in favor of racing magazine articles. But based on those numbers, the LRE isn't anywhere near as fast a '74 Duster 360. It was faster than a car E58 though. I'd be curious if you can hear any kind of a lope in yours. Wonder if the...

Post #40 also listed cam specs. And look at the torque and hp peak RPM’s for the ‘79 E58 and ‘78 EH1 I listed in post #21. They are just too way off to make sense with the 340 auto cam. ‘75 and ‘76 listed an E58 engine with a high performance cam, that had similar peaks the the ‘74 E58. But...

There is no way that is the cam in the LRE though. 340 auto cam was dead probably after '76 and the '77 and later E58 and all EH1 motors probably had the same cam as the 2 bbl 360. Maybe it was a different cam, but no way was it the 340 auto cam. See post 40 in this thread.

I really like the center AC vents. Very clean. Looks great, has me thinking...

Maybe RaceMagnum.com ?? It's empty though, not even old posts to read through.

Exactly. But I'm just creating a scenario where someone could end up in a late model car instead of their muscle car. Not trying to put words in anyone's mouth or put them down for their choices. Funny thing is, overall a Challenger really isn't much bigger than a Duster. AMA specs for a...

:lol: If I had one, I would be running it. I was hoping with your connections, maybe you could get your hands on one cheap. :D Closest thing I can afford is about 1/24 scale.

Very cool!

To be fair, there is broad range of skill levels and as hot rodding has advanced into the electronic age there are some that aren't comfortable or just plain don't want to move forward. It has gotten easier with some of the self tuning options available now, but before that people were stuck...
