    Yes, it is getting better. As far as the lights (rt) go, when I went last month, and the first pass on the 19th, I was watching the tach to see what the convertor flashed to. (about 4k). Those last three runs on the 19th were the first runs I've tried to cut a light in 30 years, when they...

    ...any. I thought maybe the mph would decrease when pinned down. Doesn't matter, it was just an experiment. Water Temp is on the slips. I use 160*, because that's the 'stat that's in it. Maybe I need and electric water pump and fan. Anyway, I'm looking for consistency. What should I work...

    @pittsburghracer gone.

    Terrible thing. Seemed like a good guy. Godspeed. Anyone know what happened? He just posted this morning.

    Beautiful colors. And the chrome headers flow to the chrome ladder bars just right. Photographer got it just right.

    World's first photoshop? hahahahaha But you have to give the people that do this stuff a lot of credit. (If it's real, hard to say.) That takes talent! I'd love to be able to see the rest of the car.

    Help me buy an $80,000 car

    Here's an example of a NICE car. It's not a Mopar, and it's not a muscle car. I don't know what it's worth. It was in a museum for 61 years and looks almost new! It'll have issues as a result of sitting for so long, but it's nice. I just happen to see it on that site. I like dreaming. lol...

    Help me buy an $80,000 car

    My point being, an $80,000 car wouldn't have issues like that. Plus, what other work is half-a**ed?

    318? Better be orig 440 with verrrry low miles, which, of course, it ain't.

    Help me buy an $80,000 car

    What's with the parking brake stuff in this picture? Hard to see, but it looks rigged. Also, the wiper motor and wiring on the firewall don't look like 80K. Seems these dealer cars are always "smoothed over". Where's the trunk floor and floor pan pics?

    "Help me buy an $80,000 car" I don't see one. At least I hope I don't.

    Online Air Density Any Good?

    I'm not familiar with Google Play. I'll look into it. I think that's the link I posted. It's spelled, airdensityonline.

    Hood scoop to big?

    I guess you'd have to know if the air coming in the scoop would go down through the holes, or, would the hot under hood air come up in the scoop?

    Guys this is why you work on your car trailer

    If I raced more, and had the $$, I'd definitely go enclosed, with some kind of ability to sleep and eat. Hotels and restaurants are a pain. As others have mentioned, you can carry spares, tools and it provides shelter for people and the cart. Don't have to unload/load constantly. I won't...

    What D.A. do you usually run at?

    Guys this is why you work on your car trailer

    Please don't work on your vehicle this close to the highway! Get as far off the road as possible. In a nano second, someone can hit you. "I only took my eyes off the road for a second", if they even admit that much. IMHO, other than a battlefield, a highway is the most dangerous place you...

    Guys this is why you work on your car trailer

    I've never understood why sun destroys tires sitting in a driveway on an RV or trailer, but it doesn't destroy tires on daily drivers, which are out in the sun just as much, of course.

    Definitely. I’ll do my best to get back in better air. And continue to keep track of the weather. I need runs in the car. Haven’t run it that much since I built it. Plus, my shifter was for a forward valve body and I modified it to work on my reverse pattern, and it works great.

    Cecil County 9-13-24

    The results are in! I didn't have the chance to try anything except to try to get consistent runs. The main differences from last trip were: -The air was "Summery". Last trip it was very "Autumny", for lack of accurate numbers. -2” taller tires, (235's vs. 265's) -I advanced the cam from 108...

    I will probably go one more time. This was my first trip since last year when I met you. A 2 1/2 hour tow for me also! My closest choice. :( I'll look for that pretty Dart if I make it one of those two weekends.

    I'm going to try out a few things tonight. Anyone else going? These two threads have the info: How To Measure Fuel Volume. Advancing Cam Question But basically, I'm going to: -See if the cam advance affects it. (From straight up 108, to 104.) -Check trap RPM for the effect of the 2" taller...

    Looking for recommendations for Cuba Resort

    With respect, I won't travel to a country that treats their citizens like dirt. Human rights? Not there. Find an up-and-coming island country, if it's the island life you're looking for. We went to Turks and Caicos in 2012. They were the cheapest we could find at the time.

    Walkie talkies

    Good idea. A friend hunts in Maine- No cell service. But I think he'd say the noise would scare the critters away. Doh! I walked straight into that one!! lol! I tried protecting my privacy for a long time. I hate to admit it, but "they" have won.

    Walkie talkies

    Educate me. What are walkie talkies used for in this age of cell phones?

    Walkie talkies

    Maybe a little more info? I don't know anything about walkie talkies, but I know my wife and I communicate from the house to the garage (50'?) with our cell phones. Never thought we'd be that lazy. lol
