    The data should just show up when you start cranking

    Sorry. Yes I am a pre-eagle, non-vvt 5.7.

    '70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

    Use the "Diagnostics and High Speed Loggers" tab at the top to view the cam and crank signals. These are my settings, which are likely the same as yours if you copied the DIY site. If you used a generic analog input for the oil pressure, you need to figure out what input you used and scale...

    '70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

    Make sure you have your crank signal setting correct in tuner studio. I just copied what DIY Autotune shows on their webpage.

    Of course, but I doubt your setup is anything like mine considering I made the throttle cable bracket and the bracket for the cable to connect to the throttle body.

    I plan on making it just a drop in replacement. 4 nuts off the bottom and pull it out. I was thinking of making a square with some flatbar to put on the bottom side. Need to look closer to see if its even worth the effort. The outside holes are right next to that "bump" in the floor where bench...

    Last year at Cruising the Coast autocross, I had a Moparty friend ride with me and I rode with him in his Demon. His first comment was how much better I would do with a better seat. I always thought my seats were pretty good. After riding in his car that has much more supportive seats, I...

    I forgot to mention I also added a secondary return spring to the throttle body. I'm not sure why I didn't think to add one earlier on, but it's on there now for safety reasons. Who knows if that Chinese knockoff throttle body will decide to quit doing spring things.

    I know forums are mostly a dead resource, but I hope someone can find this one day to help them solve their problems. I consider the time it takes me to update this page is worth paying it forward for the education I've received over the years.

    No, none of that fancy stuff. I will say it was amazing how much stiffer the car was when it had the 8 point roll bar in it. When I was drag racing, it wouldn't pull the wheels off the ground. First time off the trailer with the roll bar in it, 8-10" wheelie! Crazy how much flex it has. I've...

    That's nice! Probably what adds some weight to yours over mine too.

    Yes it has them. It's the old school Mopar Performance ones that are designed to be bolted in. I welded them in. This was done a long time ago before I even painted the car yellow.

    We need to make an effort to line them up on the drag strip too! Would make for some good photos.

    I'm fairly confident I have my power steering issues resolved. Ultimately, I think there were 3 problems, 2 of which were caused by my ignorance/neglect. While this is frustrating, it was a learning experience I didn't know I needed. @Dantra was kind enough to ship me his power steering analyzer...

    '70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

    Mine is in the exhaust collector about 6” from the end of the pipe. I didn’t use the TTI location since they have the bung on the outside of the header collector. I just didn’t like the idea of being able to see an O2 sensor from the side of the car. You may be ok if you use the header collector...

    '70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

    I ran mine a bit with open headers but could do any tuning. The O2 was too close to the end of the pipe and would read super lean when it was actually very fat! I’d recommend going through all the injector and coil tests just to make sure you don’t have any wiring errors. It doesn’t take long...

    I've been in communication with Turn 1 and they shared this article with me. Turn One - Understanding Power Steering Pump Pressure It's almost like they wrote it for me. @Dantra was kind enough ship his steering analyzer to me so I can determine where I am currently. I'm hoping it is as simple...

    It's a wide band. Good info. I didn't know that. The sensor is reading the same as as the other one before it died.

    Thanks for the encouragement Brian. Dang I'm jealous you have all those events in the next month! You're going to wear out some tires! We take off July and August because of the heat. I won't be able to autocross again until Moparty. I guess that gives me time to put some miles on it and fix...

    Last week was a mad thrash to button up a couple small items and get the AC charged so I could get to autocross over the weekend. I was able to get everything done, then my O2 sensor failed. Fortunately, I was able to find one at a local auto parts, but of course the connector was wrong. Since...

    Please critique my home front-end alignment method

    Thanks for the lesson. However, a front end alignment is hardly machinist level accuracy (no pun intended). Nor do I have experience with anything beyond carpenter type levels. Please explain how the Longacre tool works without needing the multiplication factor. Is it a calculated radius for the...

    Please critique my home front-end alignment method

    This is what I do. Plastic bags and WD work great. I made some toe plates with some scrap 1x6s. I also cut a piece of hardwood that lands on the edge of the wheel so I have a nice repeatable place to put the level. I also marked the ground with tape showing 20 degrees both ways since the...

    OK, how would you describe it? Not curved, straight, linear, in line, etc. I'm pretty sure he got the point.

    Please critique my home front-end alignment method

    My assumption is the Longacre bubble gauge is calibrated in such a way that the multiplication factor isn't needed. If you look at it closely, the glass of the level has an arc, it isn't flat like a normal level.

    4-bar / back half the HemiDenny / HDK way

    Wheel diameter may be a little too big for my taste, but man that thing is sitting right! Any idea what color it will be? It would look sick all white with a red interior.

    '70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

    I mounted my quadsparks under the dash. As for how to arrange them, I used my the same methodology as I did for the power. Each bank has its own power, and now each bank has its own quadspark. That way if something fails, I can quickly identify it since only have the engine is running.

    One more piece of the puzzle knocked out. Whipped up a catch can bracket last night. I wanted to hide this somewhere badly, but it also needs to be serviceable so here it is. The bracket is made from a piece of 2" flat bar whittled into something that doesn't look like flat bar.
