I would like to make one of these events, like when it’s not so damn hot. A friend once told me to get AC for this kind of occasion, well duh. Then what. Sit in the car all day?

Loud as hell and takes 3 seconds to engage 2nd after 1st lets go.:D I have the opposite problem. Really sticky Nitto tires. Once they both hook you better be pointing the way you want to go, because like it or not that’s the way you are going. The streets here suck in town because of dips and...

In a straight line I can see it. I’m not talking about a straight line, or just normal cruising around town. Heck the sick week and drag and drive guys prove thousands of horsepower cars can be driven on the street. I bet 90% of the drivers that build cars over 300 hp can’t actually use it to...

I gotta go clean up my car before the sun gets up too far. These monsoons with dust blowing in between wreaks havoc on an ungaraged paint job. Now that monsoon season is pretty much over it’s time to get it cleaned back up.

And we see lots of those crashed, the driver going to jail or both.

Just standard morning wake up coffee. Oh that’s right, you have a storm coming in don’t you?

I was under the impression that this was a general discussion thread. Was I wrong?

Hey all. I see people building cars with way more power than anyone can ever use on the street. It makes me wonder just how many of these people are capable of handling 5-600 horsepower. I just posted in another thread about this. While not wishing to offend, I have to wonder. Unless the car is...

I always wonder if the person building a car can actually use the horsepower they build. Unless this is going to be a drag car I don’t see how. No offense meant, but I know with my mild 5.9 and 3.55 gears there is no way I can drive my car in town to it’s full potential without wrecking the car...

The whole thing is kinda pretty for a Magnum motor, if I do say so myself.:D

Blue here as well with zero issues.

No machining needed for the seals, they went on firmly basically by hand but I did tap them down lightly to make sure they seated. They are the blue ones with the little spring rings. The stem locks stick down below the retainers a little, just so you know. .512 lift

I used the 1110 springs, the better clearance retainers and positive valve stem seals on a pair of New Zealand cast EQ heads with stainless valves. Everything went well.

I’m running that Hughes kit. Not sure it allows up to .540, but it’s up there close to that. Lots of clearance with .512 here.

The back end looks like a face with the tongue hanging out.

It’s probably a pretty dang good car, but a ricer by any other name is still a ricer. If Harley can sue and win for sound copy, then Chrysler should be able to sue for that front end.

Silly stuff guys say is tolerable. It’s the flat out stupid **** they say that gets me. “I bought this car from where it was parked for 50 years right up against the wall on the border with Mexico. Had to drive 700 miles to Las Cruces with a trailer to get it” You dumbass, Las Cruces is in New...

Could be both actually. I’m sure HEI had nothing to do with it. :D

Thanks. I considered putting replaceable ones in, but I would have had to get flats milled on the carb body to make room for the bleeds. There wasn’t enough flat area for the heads of screw in bleeds.

Nobody? :D It’s not hard if you don’t drop one down in the motor or screw up the drilling.

The other day I got the 72 Dart ready for anytime driving duty since it has always been registered and insured but almost never driven. I noticed a miss that wasn’t there before and tracked it down by inserting a test light between the wires and caps on the distributor. Yep, cylinder number 5. I...

Basically a shoehorn for the seal edge.

RTV sticks better and lasts longer instead of seam sealer. If your hood surface lifted off the old putty it will just do it again. RTV and a little weight where it lifted will work really well. As far as hole cutting I just tape over the entire area and use a jig saw.

Or a little string of rubber fuel line.

Uh huh. :D Air cleaner lid says Edelbrock but it’s a Holley 770 Street Avenger.

Someone asked me why not a 340 in my dart. I told them I could get 3-4 good 5.9’s for the expense of the 340 these days.

Had the same issues with an Edelbrock carb, I’m sure you know why. Added a return T’d right at the carb inlet and an inline restrictor orifice for the return that keeps the main line pressure around 6 pounds. When choosing the restrictor I used a gauge to show the main line pressure. No return...

If they aren’t in my address book my phone is set to not even ring. Leave a message. I got this phone for YouTube and Go Pro software, not to get bugged the piss out of by people I don’t know.

Man, can I relate to that.

When I saw the posted pic I thought it was a Weiand. I have a 7545 Accelerator, and they sure do look the same.
