    Anybody use clutch tamer

    My advice would be to find a safe place to do some first second hits and get used to how the Tamer reacts as the clutch heats up Etc

    blew out a muffler today

    I typically avoid mufflers with packing for this reason. Gibson is my go-to muffler.

    Have you ever lost

    I have been waiting for a new blow proof bell that was ordered on April 9th. I figured it would be sometime in August however it's not here in the racing season is over. During times when I take an extended absence from running my car I often wonder if it will ever see the road again LOL...

    oil pan for 440 in a 1968 Dart

    I am using the 66-69 Hemi 6 qt (5 in the pan) reproduction pan and pick up with a summit 1-pc windage tray gasket assy. 6700RPM max, no issues. I also switched over to the 73-up steering components. Between that and the QA1 k member it is blissful to work on compared to stock k and steering...

    ~450hp from stock stroke 340?

    Did you guys scrap the 340 idea and go with a stock stroke 440 yet? Or can we change pistons and spray it?

    Getting fed up...

    Rock auto sells mispackaged parts i.e. the p/n is correct yet the wrong part is in the box. I sent a note with my return and no reply. You should share that email address. Today I had the pleasure of helping the guy that runs the local saw mill repair his Case 580 backhoe. The NAPA ignition...

    Anybody use clutch tamer

    I was running the powergrip hd which is the same sintered bronze puck arrangement on both sides of the clutch disc. It likes some rpm at low speeds and to get moving. I also ran the same disc you are running at about 600iish hp in my 3600lb 66 Charger with good results. You will likely wear...

    Holley 750 puking fuel

    Did you make sure the float floats? It doesnt take much fuel in a float to make it act stupid. It seems unlikely that the nitrophyl float has taken on fuel.

    ~450hp from stock stroke 340?

    You cannot run nitrous with hypereutecticish pistons. That's why hardly anyone showed up : D

    Anybody use clutch tamer

    I have had good luck with a Clutch Tamer. As stated above the way it is set up will depend on the clutch. If you have a ton of pp PSI and a sintered bronze material you can get away with a very soft engagement. I set my Tamer to start working on the last 1" of pedal travel. I leave about...

    Anyone put fuel injection on a crossram manifold?

    I would call Rich at fast man efi or FHO.

    Putting up a shop in CA - fire department being a pain

    You will most certainly need to provide access and possibly enough area to turn at minimum, a type 3 engine around. The requirements are similar here in Oregon for new construction. To me these requirements make sense however I alaways marvel at how many rural folks I know with driveways that...

    Getting fed up...

    Electrical parts have been a nightmare. Starters, relays, toggle switches and the list goes on. After being burned way too many times I skip Rock Auto and go local or Summit. Summit used to swap out defective parts. Last order they had me return the damaged parts (poor packing job) and...

    Titanium K-frame Bolts

    ...my shoes weight 157g. My house keys weigh 42 grams (4 keys). It will be interesting to see how the weight delta between TI and steel pans out. *if* I was going to replace something external to the engine in TI it would be the exhaust system, rear end axle tubes, and axles. Definitely...

    AFB Tuning

    Add shooter nozzle volume and see if it gets better. In some applications I opened them up to the size of the tube originally feeding the shooter nozzle to cure a bog when you mash it. You need yo make sure there is enough fuel when the air door decides to open.

    383 appearing, 400 stroker with stealth heads question.

    My old 451" engine had a Performer and eventually a modified holley SD for induction. It had factory a-body exhaust manifolds, ported big valve 906's and a healthy hydraulic cam (.560ish w/1.6 ductile rockers). With my dyno headers and a Performer RPM intake the engine made 500hp/500tq. With...

    Jeg's Reversible Extended Reach Cutoff Tool

    What do you use something like that for? Usually if i can't get the 4.5 grinder in the space there isn't room to weld it either.

    Upper control arm advice

    I don't see the need to go any farther than QA1 UCA's. I have them in my dart (and 3 b body cars) with no complaints. In a drag car you are typically focused on the following: -Suspension travel -Bump steer -Equal side to side caster sweep -a solid upper bump stop (used as a travel limiter in...

    Lets hear your suggestions for a winch for a car trailer.

    In my experience the cover just makes the corrosion worse by trapping moisture. That said I'm admittedly reactionary when it comes to winch preventative maintenance. I tend to forget about the winch on my truck until it is required to proceed. Bad habit!

    Lets hear your suggestions for a winch for a car trailer.

    I have Warn 9500lb winches on my trailers. One is a high speed model for urgent recoveries. I have seen the badlands brand winch have issues with planetary assembly when overloaded (i.e. usong it for more than it's rating). My last few trucks have SuperWinch brand winches and they have been...

    Trouble Installing 18 spline A-833 through dual disc clutch assy.

    Be advised that Quicktime bellshousings have issues. I would check the transmission register runout vs. crankshaft and make sure it is true to the block. The height of the clutch fork bracket is also incprrect. Lastly, keep and eye on the bell crank bracket. They are thin and tend to fold up...
