    Fast ETs Using a Dual plane ( BB & SB )

    I have a 410 aluminum w2 heads. I didn't build it to race. Just used some left over parts from another life. I installed the ported a single plane intake that was with the heads that I bought when I was racing. using 3.23's for the street. I put on a dual plane W2 manifold with way small...

    Dual Plane vs Single Plane Manifold with TBI

    I have a SB with header and I had a single plane. When I put A dual plan on my engine my drivability went through the ceiling. If you are just cruising a dual plane is the answer. A single plane needs gears and stall to be really effective.

    Don't use a 727, a 904 works great and will last.

    caltracs and ss springs?

    I've used both and I would rather put up with the noise instead of the buckboard ride withj SS springs

    410 Duster

    Looks great! I have a 410 in my Barracuda. If you can find a 904, they hold up behind 410's and are considerably faster than a 727. My friend has 2 A bodies that run 10.50's using 904's. I have a Street 410 and mine runs 12.20's with 3.23's. Not the one in the picture

    Custom pushrods, how much stock lifter preload?

    If you are not making a high RPM race only motor. you don't have to have roller rockers. In my opinion you are taking a shortcut. A shortcut is the quickest way to somewhere you didn't want to go. Get the adjustable rockers. It is almost impossible to make the pushrods the right length for...

    Disks on the front and drum brakes on the rear are very ok unless you are going to road race.

    High Compression 390

    Thanks for informing me on the 390. The car in my picture is my after racing car/engine. It is 10:1 410 with aluminum W2 heads. I too was concerned about compression. I live at 4000' and have no ping problems. I run 3.23's with a 28" tire. Your truck should be a torque monster. My cam is an...

    Should I get a Car or Truck Dana 60 ??????

    Truck Dana 60's are heavier. By the time you pay someone to shorten and the new ends, you will wish you had just bit the bullet and bought a Strange. To put new ends on a Truck 60, you will need a jig to make sure it's straight. You will hate yourself in ths morning

    Alignment slightly off after UCA swap. More mods coming-- how/when to fix?

    I put tubular upper arms on my A body. My were set to give more caster. The adjustment is for both camber and caster. No way would the old settings be correct. No way to install and adjust them without a front end machine. Any shop that has been around a while will be able to set your alignment...

    [FOR SALE] Carter Competition Series Carb

    I had one on my 440 in my 66 D200. No problems as long as you keep the fuel pressure under 6 PSI. After a while especially on hot days, it was hard to start until i put a pressure valve in line. A good rebuilt pump will put 7 PSI out and that is the problem for all Carters

    What is the difference between 67 & 68-69 a body steering column

    I have a 67 Barracuda. The lower bushing on the 67 is different and as of a few years ago no one makes a replacement. I finally had to get a 68 column. I don't remember the switches being on the column as I have an after market shifter with the backup light switch in it. The 67 A body is a one...

    gotta go 3 inch

    I have 3" through the mufflers and 2 1/2" tailpipes. Works great! The exhaust gas will have cooled enough so the engine is not squezed. I also have 12" glass packs in the tail pipes to eliminate drone. The springs are moved in under the frame rails and the rear end narrowed 2". I have 3.23...

    69 Barracuda - changing from manual to power steering

    I put Power Steering on my 67 Cuda. The box just bolts the same place as manual. I bought a rubber universal joint cover which I would recommend. The stock ones are a real pain as the tabs to hold it together like to come loose or break off if you touch them. I would changer the steering column...

    ARP main bolts oil pump clearance

    Like 70 aarcuda, I just used a bolt. I've taken a trip from Cason City to Vegas and raced my 410 at Vegas. Had no oiling problems. Unless you have a 600+ HP motor, I wouldn't waste my time fitting a nut to the stud.
