Quite a bit earlier on the Viper, 1991

I swapped my 68 Barracuda over to power steering. It has been the single best modification behind disk brakes I have done for my driving enjoyment. If you go that way you can eliminate the over boosted feel of Mopar power steering from that era by removing the pressure relief valve from the...

Got the T5, a modified bell housing to bolt it to. Finally found an outfit that sells a box that connects to the speedo sensor on the T5 and will spin the cable to drive the the speedo. The Hemi 4spd throwout bearing will work. Hasn't been a priority to do but this is the year. Now I just have...

You can use any center link as long as you use the same vintage idler arm and pitman arm. The 67 was unique because of the way the idler arm mounted to the K frame. When I swapped from /6 to the 360 in my 68 I used a 73 spool mount k-frame with the 68 idler, center link and pitman. Later when I...

The. 73 Dart I harvested for the disk brakes had 14" steel wheels from the factory. Initially I used a set of 14" big bolt pattern wheels with 235/60-14 ties on all four corners. I latter switched to 15x7 Ralley wheels with 225/60-15 tires, these would rub the front edge of the fender opening...

30 over KB107's $266 at Summit Racing.

This is what used to reside between the fenders of my Cuda.

I think you will be hard pressed to find lifters thst don't oil through the pushrod. If you don't want them to just get push rods that don't have tge oiling hole in the ends.

When the manufacturers were measuring "gross" HP there was no standard test method. The SAE net measurement defined how the test would be done. Net requires all the accessories (water pump, alternator, power steering pump, AC compressor), stock air cleaner, stock fan and stock exhaust. Prior...

I live in south eastern Mass and have driven to both. I prefer the Syracuse Nationals, a lot more cars, a lot more unique cars and if you stay at the host hotel one big party. :)

FWIW, I would like to relay some experiences with the subject title. When I first got my 68 Cuda Coupe I jacked it up with a floor jack under the torsion bar cross member with the drivers door open. When I tried to close the door the latch and striker were off by almost 1/2". That much flex...

I consider the Super Turbo to be reasonably quite , quieter than the Flowmaster 50 series Delta Flo I took off.

Another thing to think about: why do you want to go to the track? If its just to get some times why not get a vector or if you have a smart phone you can down load an app. These devices will give you everything that is on a drag strip time slip. Just find a long stretch of level hiway that is...

When I put headers on my \6 the difference was about 1/4". I got a piece of 1/4" square stock at the local hardware store and made spacers. Never had a leak problem.

Mopar sources their filters from FRAM among others. If you check around the Internet you will see Mopar filters cut open that have the same fiber end caps as FRAM.

I have a few comments to share on filters. 1. Back in the mid 70's I worked for a company that made thermostats, radiators, oil coolers, etc for all three of the Big Three plus virtually every aftermarket brand. We also had a very extensive engineering lab which I ran and would do contract...

The dust seals I used when I did the swap were Timken brand and were identical to the ones that were in the old rotors and fit the new rotors and the doner spindles fine.

Buying a new crank, rods and pistons does relieve you of the need to balance. Unless you buy a kit with everything from one place they will still charge extra to have it balanced.

The issue with that article is its not overlap that effects cranking pressure it's how long the intake valve stays open past bottom dead center. Exhaust/Intake overlap occurs when the piston is transitioning from moving up the cylinder to going down. Cranking pressure and the dynamic...

Oops! Brain Fart on my part.

I agree, I got my drivers license in 1970. Darts, Dusters, Novas, Mavericks, Falcons were the cars you bought because you couldn't afford the car you wanted. That went for the performance versions too. The difference in the formula for the new Dart and the other C segment cars is now they...

Tail lamps??? The only Charger that had a tail lamp that extended across the back of the car was the 66 and 67. It was a large rectangular lens with chrome bars spaced every inch or so nothing like the tail light treatment on the current Charger and Dart. The 68 Charger had two round lenses o...

You want the bigger piston for manual brakes. For example if you can create 700 pounds of force with your leg on a piston with 1 square inch you are creating 700 psi in the system. If you had a larger bore master cylinder that was 2 square inches that same 700 lbs would generate 1400 psi...

I purchased the XV belts for my bench seat 68 Barracuda. Here are my comments. 1. The retractor that bolts to the floor won't fit between the seat and rocker. I had to weld in a new mounting point into the rocker about 8" back from the stock position. 2. The inner belt is way to long and...

You should only make adjustments in 1/8 of a turn increments. You should also be using a vacuum gauge or tach when doing this. You want the highest vacuum or Tom reading.

X2 In my 40+ years of driving I have used every brand and have never been able to distinguish any difference from one to another.

Even though initial+mechanical+vacuum may add up to 52 you will almost never have all your mechanical and vacuum advance at the same time. Mechanical advance varies with rpm, vacuum advance varies with load. The vacuum only operates at part throttle light load, ie. cruise. Hook up a vacuum...

Actually I liked the IHRA National that used to be at NE Dragway. The IHRA ProMods, ProStocks and Nitro Harleys are much more entertaining but it will NE nice to have a national event again.

I used 1.5 by 2" rectangular tubing. Cut the front of the rear sub-frame open and slip the tubing in an welded a 2 by 3 plate to the front to weld to. Once all welded in the tubing is against the foot well in the rear but did not require any floor modifications and the parking brake cable did...

Figure on $40 to buy a rebuilt points distributor. Or, $20 for the control module ( called an ECU) and last time I checked the wiring harness for converting from points to electronic ignition was about $20. So either way you are going to spend $40 ish. The choice is do you want easy wiring...
