It doesn't line up at all though. Not even the trunk lock fits correctly. That's what made me think it was just a bad repop.

We just got a ton of rain and wind here, but no flooding in our area.

That finish panel is correct for '69, and someone added the Barracuda script. They do not sell the reproduced complete finish panel with a Formula S emblem. Someone was being creative by also adding the fish emblem on your trunk lid or that's a '67/'68 trunk lid with a '69 finish panel.

Displacement creates more friction than rpm. This is basic ****. Look at Pro Mod and Pro Stock. For the displacements the PM should be far quicker and faster than PS but they are not. That is friction.

You just aren’t paying attention. So gave you built a 500 hp small block and a 500 hp 408 and compared them driving around? I can say this until my teeth wear out. A stoker will cover a bunch of errors that a 340 won’t take. The tune up window gets smaller and smaller as the power goes up...

I’ve seen a couple sets of instructions for the adjustable strut rods and they really don’t do a great job explaining it. And some don’t come with any instructions! In their defense it’s kinda hard to explain, especially to someone that may or may not have a complete understanding of the...

I think another thing that is missing from this conversation is mechanical efficiencies of the system as we go up in RPM. These are just generalities but the harder you push a mechanical system the less efficient it tends to become. You make more heat, greater friction losses, etc. Maybe this...

I’m in!!

...the curve will reign supreme. Think of it this way. with these "apples to apples" comparisons where they only change displacement. What are they *really changing*? The answer to that is the mass flow rate of air flow --- and in turn the amount of fuel burned --- and in turn the amount of...

You sir, get the gold star.

sorry to here about lose of property but glad you are okay and dry.

Here’s one I took two years ago!

Agreed. I sometimes think the overall pain gets worse every day...

Ford vs. Mopar plus NNJDBR Raindate

If the inner bushings (lower picture) have shoulders on both sides of the bushing (like in the picture in the later kit above) then you should be fine. And from the looks of it those are the later bushings. My description of their position wasn't quite right in my post above, fixed it...

This is taken from my build page Slow build 71 Scamp 440 I didn’t get any hits there so a new thread it is. Pushrod measurement. I’m not quite sure how to accomplish this but took a rookie stab at it after watching numerous videos. I used the comp cam measurement tool. With the tool...

I love it!

Thanks, I appreciate that. I try to compose them as best as I can, it's not that easy. I called Wilson and filled out their inquiry form but that's as far as it went. I was prepared to hear a high price but it was literally triple what I thought it would be. Honest to god, to have them do a...

Next time!

aww, no pictures of the sublime Z?

Pole #45 Reddick.. race # 45 # 9

Thanks for the reply. Is there a need to do that if everything is good. The reason I ask is I will at some point put the volt meter in the cluster and attach the two wires. But is there a danger to running in my current configuration until then. Also should there be a fuse in line to the battery...

The tail panel that came on my Barracuda is not the correct one. It doesn't fit quite right and the 1969 didn't have "Barracuda" on the right like that. It is a single piece. I want to replace it with a Formula S style one but I'm not sure this is the entire panel or just the middle center...

Glad to hear you dodged the bullet ! We rebuilt and sold our place in St James City after "Ian" we still keep in contact with friends there. Our old place has gotten water in it 3 times now since we sold. Seams things are just getting worse. Just sold the place in the North Carolina...

@wkroncke17. Thought you'd like this Demon too!

Stopped by a car show this morning.

Darn, I don't have my gasket set yet, just ordered this morning~;), can't install the crank until I have the rear main seal/s. Well, heck, I guess I could install it, just slide it in once here! I'd rather install it without the crank in though. meh For fun, I installed the cam, lots of engine...

SAVE AND REUSE any seat medallions.

Our place in Port Charlotte, FL dodged a bullet for once. We lost our roof in Ian a couple years ago, Al is pretty familiar with that one. The entire house had to be gutted back to bare cinder block and stud walls and completely rebuilt. Work was finally finished this spring. We are on the...

I wish. My 60 is the new 95.
