Hey Bogie, Just measured my 2dr. post and came up with 86 1/4 inches from door jam to were the tail light bolts on which is the longest part of the quarter on my 66. Hope this helps.

Swinger 340, I hate to say it but I know that scenario real well. It took me about 5 years after I switched the 66 Dart from an auto to a manual trans, that I was going in the wrong direction with the clutch. Axle, sure grips, rear axle gears, driveshafts, and clutches, I broke it all. Switched...

If you take it apart and the pressure plate and flywheel look good (if not have the flywheel turn and a new pp 2600 to 2800#), then throw away the dual friction disc and put an organic disc or a Ram 900 series disc in it, and a Clutch Tamer( follow Grants advise on how to set it up) and go have...

I think the best clutch setup for your car would be a clutch that is very close to the original 340 factory clutch. Which if I remember correctly was a 2300# Borg Beck pressure plate with a rag disc( what we called them back in the day) or to day, an organic disc. You could use a diaphragm...

67 Slimer, May I ask what times your car turns, and what the 60 ft. are? What's been done to the engine and chase? A video of your car leaving the line would be nice too.

Third gear is the furthest gear out on the mainshaft( fourth gear locks the input and main shafts together) hence third gear has the most deflection of all the gears in the trans. A hard hitting clutch will and does enhances the deflection. That is why a clutch that is set up with a little slip...

I built a valve spring tool similar to your for my small blocks, both my aluminum IndyBrock and my W2 heads use 3/8 studs instead of the factory 5/16 bolts. I drilled the holes in the shaft to 4 1/2 inches on center, but I drilled the holes to 7/16 to give the shaft a little wiggle room with the...

My thoughts on this argument is, instead of telling Brian what he already knows, through always rethinking his combo and hard work, build a car of your own and reset his record. Brian has held this record for a long time and has been resetting it almost every year since he first set it, I think...

I am going to say this, whenever you build a car money is always a part of the equation especially when it's a race car. But what makes the Duster as fast as it is, has more to do with Brian's hard work and attention to detail, than the money spent. I have known Brian and his father Gene, for...

The best part of the pic is my Son is in it too, in the red t-shirt videoing the launch.

Thanks Joe and 85glht. Here's a pic of my two all time favorites, my Son in the red t-shirt and my Dart on another wheels up launch.

Here is the latest pic of my 66 Dart from September 2024, I owned this Dart for 25 years now. Assembled the 416 short block in 2006, sent the heads out in 2009 for cnc porting and haven't broke the seal on the engine since. Darts best time so far is 10.63 in October of this year, in a small 3...

I will be there, helping out and racing my 66 Dart.

That is one sweet looking setup. Would you mind letting us know what a round number cost is on that complete clutch setup is? Thank You

Newbomb Turk, the trans is a Jerico DR-4 wide gear.

Two steps are legal in all classes, electronics and non electronics, more like a safety device, special on a stick car.

For best performance in my Dart, the 2 step is set at 4500 and I shift at 6500. The trans has a 3.04 first gear, 2.00 second, 1.38 third, 1 to 1 fourth, aluminum flywheel, aluminum pressure ring in the Soft-loc clutch and 4.30 gears in the Dana 60, 9x28 slicks. My best 60' 1.47 shifting second...

I tried to edit the part for the off set on the axles to read, "same off set for the 10 inch backing plates and center hub as the A-body 8 3/4".

cpearce, On my Dana 60, I have Moser axles and ordered them with the same offset and center hub as the A-Body 8 3/4. I had them drilled with both the 4 inch and 4.5 inch bolt circle and just drilled the 10 inch drums for the LBP. That way the the wheels and tires fit exactly the same as they did...

As soon as I went on the FABO site the first thing I always did was click on the Racers forum, and alway clicked on John's threads to see what he was up to or had to say that day. Going to miss him, RIP PBR

Sorry to hear about your troubles Les. I had a decent day at the Dover meet, made it to the semi finals in the 4 spd class. Broke out with a 10.66 on a 10.70 dial. Worst part is I caught the the other car before the 1000 foot let off and was on and off the throttle on the Dart just enough to...

Put a Dana 60 in it with a good Power Loc sure grip (not a trac Loc diff) and a good set of axles and never worry about it again. I have a Dana out of a 3/4 ton Dodge truck narrowed to fit my Dart, it has the 1/4 inch thick axle tubes (a lot heavier than the car axles) and didn't lose any...

For you guys that want to know what the right clutch can do for you, watch this video of Finnegan's Blasphemi 55. He went from the wrong triple disc to the wright single disc clutch.

Scott, the Dart look real nice with the new Cragar SS and tires. But I was always more parcel to Cragar SS and Keystone Classics for the cars from the 60's and early 70's.

My first Mcleod Soft-loc clutch was set up by Tim Hyatt, aluminum flywheel, 10" long P.P. with an aluminum pressure ring, 10" disc. When it need to be rebuilt ( after Tim passed away) I sent it off to Black Magic, what a big difference in clutch setups. Tim's clutch was setup with more base and...

A little back story on my Mirada, The car had a 372 inch W-2 engine 11.3 compression, 590 MP solid cam, Victor W-2 intake, 830 Holley, the W-2 heads were ported with the MP templet kit, 1 7/8 Hedman headers. Transmission was a standard gear 999 Turbo Action and a TA 4400 series 5500 stall...

Hey A Body, I liked the picture of the Mirada you ran back in the 90's, Here are a few pic's of my Mirada I built and ran in the 90's. You didn't see many of these cars made into race cars.

Sorry to say, but you are out of luck, all of the modern Challengers with the 6 spd Tremec have the starter on the right side of the engine, passengers side over here, drivers side over in your neck of the woods. The automatic cars had them on the left side. Like you said, you will have...

I went through this whole mess when I put the QuickTime bell on my Dart with an 18 spline input on my Jerico. If you have the CF106 fork (which is 12.5" long) you have the wrong fork for the QuickTime fork pivot, you need the CF702 fork (10 7/8" long) to center the throwout bearing. Plus a...

I am 70 years old and and went back to stick shift racing in 2001 just to put the excitement back into racing. First time I ran the quarter mile was in 1973 with my 69 Coronet R/T at South Glens Falls Dragway in up state N.Y. First time slip was a 2x2 piece of paper with 14.69 written on it...
