    Some lovely music for the season...Enjoy

    must be related to Loudon III. 1. I like it because it annoyed my ugly neighbors. 2. This stinker should be left in the road. (if you don't get it, try looking up Loudon Wairiright skunk on Youtube.

    5 liter MOPAR

    Right. All of the polys had forged cranks as did most of the 273 LA motors. One of the reasons for the LA motor was to cut weight. I think a cast crank is okay to about 650 HP. i don't expect more than 500-510.

    5 liter MOPAR

    Rules say either run a 273 block with no weight penalty or a 318 with weight penalty or go home. I spoke to a tech inspector at SVRA who said be able to certify the crank and try using a 340 block. He would not guarantee approval.

    5 liter MOPAR

    Anyone out there making a 2.56 stroke crank for the B motor? The con rods would need to be about 10 inches long.

    5 liter MOPAR

    Wow! I would like a dyno sheet on that motor. W-8 heads could not stay on motor if they are aluminum (rules).

    5 liter MOPAR

    Will the block take a .040 cut? I thought the max was .030.

    Minimalist Slant Six draw-through build...

    Suggest adding an EGT (exhaust gas temperature) gauge & oil temp gauge to cluster. Shutting off a hot engine can lead to coking of oil on the bearings. The coke that forms can hurt the shaft, seals, and bearings eventually leading to oil leak, smoking and failure. IIRC the early rustclang...

    5 liter MOPAR

    I know there are mostly ¼ mile junkies here. There was a time when MOPAR was interested in lap times, too. I am thinking of something that might be raced today. Kind of stops thoughts of the NASCAR attempt that was so owned by hyper-pack Valiants in 1960 & 1961 that the series was dropped...

    What does it cost?

    I have finally been able to justify the money I have spent on the present Demon I am working on. It is plain and simple therapy for me. I had paid a psychiatrist $70 an hour for consultation. i easily have over a thousand hours logged in on the Demon. That is time that may have helped the...

    I drive a Demon (and not the other way around)

    Update status: I went through the entire electrical system. The goal was to identify and all potential electrical gremlins that were needing to be exorcised. ( I guess I have become an exorcist.) There was a running change made in November 1971 on the dash harnesses installed in the Dart...

    I drive a Demon (and not the other way around)

    Drat and double drat. The switch plate behind the cam has a broken off leg. At least Summit has credited :thumbsup: the harness back to the card.:thankyou:I'll look at it more closely, tomorrow. Two steps backwards, one step forward.

    I drive a Demon (and not the other way around)

    Finally got the dimmer switch grommet in the carpet and the driver side sill plate re-installed today. Still waiting on Summit for the return credit on the Painless kit. Car is an early 72 for the purposes of ordering a wiring harness. Mopar used the same PC board panel from from Nov 71 until...

    What is the difference?

    Thanks for answering my question. Another work around to the seatbelt starter interlock was to reach underneath the seat and pull the plug on the seat sensor.

    What is the difference?

    Haven't seen one of those in the instrument cluster. I recall seeing a little chrome blob under the dash on 4-speed cars. The ones I remebered had a square amber lens that announced that Reverse was now engaged. IIRC it was connected to the backup light circuit. In those days you had to put...

    I drive a Demon (and not the other way around)

    Since I found I decided to try the lower cost Painless route. Brought in a Mopar harness. It comprehesively rewires the car and offers a neat solution to the bulkhead oonnectors through the use of plates. It also has a modern fuse panel with Mini and ATO fuses in it. It also provides for...

    What is the difference?

    What is the difference between the 1972 A-body dashboard wiring harnesses? A running change was made in November 1971. For those with failing memories, and those who were too young to appreciate, there was a lot of nonsense going on at the time with regards to cars and Federal, and California...

    I drive a Demon (and not the other way around)

    Carpet was going in, suddenly, the horn began to blow. Got out of car to disconnect battery, closed door horn quit. Opened door horn sounded. Very strange. This happened about a week ago. I began chasing circuits with a wiring diagram. As I got under the dash, I was surprised to find a...

    Instrument Cluster Restoration Tips , 1967-72 A-body , 1970-76 A-body

    It doesn't look too bad really, especially the passenger side. If you are bound to do it yourself, remember that it took literally years of exposure to sunlight to get what you have now. I supppose you could try to re-warp it. Camp a piece of angle iron across the front and see if that will...

    I understand this can also happen when too much time elapses between removal of one item and its replacement with another. it happens with me and faste ners with increasing regularity.
