Thanks! I went to college in Lincoln, Ne. so I am familiar with Speedway

Hmmm, where can I get one of these ball joint reams?

My fault. I posted this in Suspension as well and listed all of those particulars in that post. I forgot to do it in this post.

Yes, it looks that way. I would like to have the adjustability, but not at the cost of giving up my Wilwood brakes.

67-72 A Body, with late disc spindles. In other words, the big ball joint. Spoke to Peter at Bergman just now. they are big ball joint UCA's, but QA1 does make a UCA for the small ball joint. Not as adjustable but it already comes with positive caster so should be able to get the readings I...

SPC does not have them for A Body. Bergman does not have them for A Body before 1973

Nope. For the 73 and newer a body. I called them. They want me to buy their ucas then spend another thousand to swap to b or e body brakes/spindles.

Looks like years of wheels up launches have taken their toll on the front end of my duster. Alignment shop can get it close, but it won't go to positive caster or correct camber any more. I'm looking for adjustable UCA's for this car, but everything out there seems to be for 1973 and newer...

Trying to find a manufacturer that makes Adjustable UCA for 1970 Duster. Everything I've seen is for '73 and later and uses the big ball joint.

Looks like they don't sell upper control arms by themselves :mad:

I have been running OEM control arms since rebuilding all of the stock front end stuff 10 years ago. This is a car that goes wheels up every pass. I'm wondering if I should go aftermarket on control arms at least, but which ones to get? QA1 looks good but not adjustable. Adjustable ones...

I should have said "they were still taking money after they moved the race for a few days". As you noted they aren't anymore and they are showing that event as canceled. One of the issues is some people thought they were paying their money to the track, which they weren't.

Actually npk chose to move it to another track.

I have 4.56 and 29.0 slicks in my bracket car and cross the 8th mile stripe at 6700 to 6800 rpm. I tried 1/4 with those gears and 32.0 tire and was running out of motor before the stripe. Rev limiter was set at 7500.

If you go with 4.56 and a 29.0 slick you'll be crossing the line at 7300-7600 rpm. How high you intend to Rev your motor should help you to answer your question

Way cheaper than NASCRAP, much closer to the carnage, you can pay extra to stand near the start line and stupidly risk injury or death.

Yeah but lots of people want to see them blow up or wreck so they make lots of money. It's sad.

According to officials at Xtreme Raceway Park in Ferris Texas, No Prep Kings has decided to pull it's racing event contracted to be at their track. NPK contacted Xtreme and asked to reschedule the event they had contracted for the weekend after July 4th due to "low advance ticket sales". They...

I'm 63 and have been racing for 12 years. Used to race on the streets a lot when I was a teenager. My older brother and I raced his Javelin at a track just outside the Army post I was stationed at for about a year or so, then college, job, responsibility. I retired 12 years ago and went with...

It may be time to invest in one of those cool suit systems for sitting in the lanes. Racing is fun and a lifestyle but it's not worth risking your health, especially if there's a way to help to deal with it.

Don't know have never tried it. I just assumed that from a stop the transmission would shift into 1st.

With the manual valve body you can start your burnout in 2nd gear which will keep you away from the sprag and give you a higher rpm at the tires without over revving the motor.

Good job Summit Racing Equipment! My harness expires at the end of the month so I had to buy a new one. The new one came in yesterday and expires December 2026, so I'm getting an extra 6 months out of it!

Lol

I don't see how you can stand those temps! I was out at the track for Sunday TNT yesterday trying to lean things out for summer heat. 95-98 degree temps and humidity in the 65% range. I was dying!

Reducing weight is the least expensive thing to do. Then I would go to a 4.10 or 4.33 gear and an 8" converter, 5500rpm. Assuming it is race only.

Nice!

Nice!

What are you using for rear suspension?

I spend a lot of time at that track. I hope to meet you there sometime!
