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...

...You "gots to know". Now I'm advancing my MP 292-508 cam from straight up (108 ICL), to 104. It has a double roller chain with the 3 keyways; 4* advanced, 0, and 4* retarded. I don't know what chain and gears they are, as I bought the engine used. However, I have had the cam (and...

I have about 15 runs on my street/strip Duster with maybe 350-380. HP, 3200 (actual) convertor, 727, 4.30 gears, and when I last ran it, 26" tires (It has 28's on it for the next trip.) Only about half the runs were any good because of shifter problems. I shift it at 6k. I haven't gotten a good...

In March they supposedly went to Discovery+. They did, but there has been no new content. Well, maybe what they had already produced. I liked Road Kill, Roadkill Garage, Engine Masters, Faster With Newburn and the other guy. I couldn't care less about the other shows they have. Anyone know...

Ther Roadkill guys always tell us to go out and get a car and do something with it. Mostly, they road trip, and they road trip junk. As has been mentioned mannnnny times, they have a support crew and lots of $$$$$$$. It's not a big deal to them to break down. Aside from the obvious safety...

I have a '74 Dart Sport. (70-71 Duster clone now.) I tore the whole thing apart as soon as I bought it. I replaced the gas tank and sender when I was putting it back together. The inside of the filler neck was crusty, so I wanted to clean it out. There was a long, tongue-like baffle inside...

It has (2) 18650 6800 mah 4.2v batteries in it now. The charge doesn't last long anymore. Searching, I only find numbers lower than 6800, and voltages lower than 4.2. Mostly 3.7. I know nothing about batteries like these, other than the 4.2 is voltage. I think the 18650 is a type, like a...

For years I have said that I don't need the microwave oven to beep when I push a button, when it's done, or WHENEVER! I know it's done; it shut off! Recently, I mentioned this to a friend of my step-daughter, and she said to google the brand and model number, and I'll find a Youtube video (in...

Is the item in this picture that's entitled "ring", available new somewhere?

I haven't raced competitively since christmas trees had incandescent bulbs. I used to be able to see the light coming on, being on, and going out, as lots of racers did. Always foot braked, .500 tree. One car ran mid 14's, the other 11.60's. This was in the 80's and 90's. Since then, I have...

Not an a body, but I don’t know who else to ask. I had the left fender, hood, and roof repainted (color and clear) on our ‘07 Accord back in November of 2020. The guy said don’t wax it for six months because the clear isn’t cured. I waited a while, don’t know if it was six months. Now, the roof...

Father, son daringly stop out-of-control semi-truck after driver passed out on Kansas highway: ‘We’re just good farm guys’

My car hasn't had the speedo connected since it was a 198 slant. I now have 4.33 gears in a 9" Ford rear, in my 360/727 74 Dart Sport. I'd like to get the speedo correct. M/T ET Street 275/60R15's will be ordered before my Summit 10% discount code expires 12-31. (Thanks again, GTXJohn!) The...

I’m here at Cecil County today. Going to run the test n tune. Anybody else here? Look for my primer black Duster with primer gray fenders.

If I cut the air horn off of my Street Avenger 770, will there still be threads to hold the air cleaner stud? EDIT: I’ll remove the stud and see if I can see or feel down in there. And, see if the stud will thread down enough.

...in Annapolis, MD.? My wife and I are spending 5 days there soon. I suppose it doesn't have to be car stuff, but something other than the shops, winery's and other "chick" stuff. We are going to tour the Naval Academy.

Just heard. For good, they say. Saw a Facebook post by Atco.

I'm working on my Holley Avenger 770 using this thread as a guide: Power Valve Selection: The Definitive Answer I was directed to it on my thread about taking my Duster to the track. I'm going to need some jets, but I sure won't ever need all the jets that are in the the sets that go from 64...

My car doesn't run below 11.50. This excerpt from the 2023 rule book says that because I don't require a SFI 2" etc. harness (11.49 and quicker), I can run an expired SFI without an issue. Mine is dated 2019. I don't have a roll bar, and only use the lap belt portion of the SFI. When I went...

This is an 8.8 Ford (in my F150), but the gears don't know that. (ssshhh!) I have limited experience setting up gears, but I've never seen a pattern that encompasses the entire tooth, drive and coast. And I don't see any pictures like these online. I used Ford Motorsport gears (going from...

I'm trying to get myself to start doing the bodywork on my Duster. It's my least favorite part of the hobby. Mostly because I hate messes; and it makes a mess of my garage! It's one of those things that once I get started, it's okay. But anyway... One problem is the fiberglass fender has a...

Anyone familiar with later model Honda's and how their stealerships work? Without my knowledge, my 91 year old neighbor set up an appointment to have the pass side mirror repaired, at the stealer, on her 2017 Accord EX-L. It moves left-right, but not up and down. The glass shakes around. I...

I've linked a few posts about my Duster clone. I started working on it in 2008. I got it running last year, and worked the bugs out. I maybe put about 2-300 miles on it. Tuesday, May 16th, I'm going to Atco to see how it runs. A "Test 'n Tune" night. Anyone else going? Drove My “New” Duster...

I have a lift-off glass hood. I'm thinking of venting under hood heat by raising the back of the hood a bit. Has anyone tested this? There's no cowl seal, so maybe it won't matter much? I know they used to look for that seal on Stock Eliminator cars. I guess "forgetting" to install it helped.

How do these guys get to run with no roll bars, non-Snell helmets, and probably a piece of rope for a seatbelt? I know they don't run NHRA tracks, but c'mon! The Race of Gentlemen: Vintage Drag Racing Returns to the Runway!

Dragstrips say no antifreeze. Then they let a hundred street cars go down the track. I know antifreeze is hard to clean up. Do they really mean that they don't want antifreeze, but they know they can't enforce it because no one will show up?

Not an A body, but I know there are knowledgeable body techs on here. 2007 Accord- the "Accord" emblem has come off of the trunk a couple times. I have used 3M trim adhesive, but never did it correctly. Meaning, I've never removed the old adhesive, I just added more, and it comes off...

It's old, but if it's a simple fix, that'd be great. A couple months ago, it wasn't as hot as it should've been, but it came around and has been okay until today. The pilot is lit, and the exhaust fan runs (until I unplug it), but the burner won't light. I've lightly tapped the gas valve...

Sometimes I ponder building an A body for long trips (and daily use). It would be a 2 door, 318 (gotta be a V8). I wouldn't mind a 273, if parts are still available. It would only be modified to increase mpg. It would be either a 4 spd w/ OD, or an auto w/OD. I'd prefer a stick shift, I...
