    A friend that deals in Mopar parts found this at a swap meet covered in 30 years of shelf dust in a banana box, with this fancy belt driven fuel pump. All the hard parts say Hilborn. Anybody ever seen a set up like this or know anything about its use???

    1970 Swinger 340 with light green butt stripe

    Fast Car

    link to performance of this song at the Grammy's last night. It always reminds me of growing up around Baltimore in the 60s and 70s when for lots of poor folks what they had in their hot rods was all they had, period.

    A couple days ago I was trying to reorganize a bunch of my parts hoard. I was moving intake manifolds around and noticed the difference between the ports on 2 manifolds. I was pretty sure they were both Edelbrock LD 4Bs made for the small port 273 and 318 heads, so I pulled them out and...
