    EASY DISC BRAKE CONVERSION FOR 5X 4"

    I am all for doing it right. I will agree. But what differance does it make what parts you use, as long as they work and are effective? You can do it right with SSBC, and pay about a grand for their kit, who knows what or where the original application of the parts came from... If it works, uses...

    Engine pinging? what to do??

    LAR_414 - Apologe accepted - and I will be the first to give you mine if I took your post incorrectely. That is one thing I hate about a email type post - tone is impossiable to interject into the message. When I made the statement that duration will effect dynamic compression, it was...

    Engine pinging? what to do??

    Well Mr. Bench Racer, I guess you name says it all. First, in my area the last time we saw 93 octane gas was 5 years a go. So we deal with 91 octane gas. I would be willing to bet that you might think you have 10.65, but if it was measured correctely that you would find less compression. If you...

    Engine pinging? what to do??

    If by stating E heads, you mean Eddy's, then you don't have a head problem you have a compression issue. If your at sea level about 10 to 1 or 10.5 to one is all your going to be able to get away with on pump gas and aluminum heads, 9 to one on iron heads. If you go to indys, your going to get...

    Cam swap ?

    Adam, Before you buy a cam, pick up the phone and call Jim Dowel at Racer Brown. I have used about every cam grinder there is over the years, and Jim is the best. I have never met a Mopar guy who runs a Racer Brown who does not feel the same way I do. I had him grind me a cam for a 72 440...

    BEWARE! of "MR440 Duster" - Dan Price from Nile

    I am not trying to defend the guy, but I bought a steering box from him, and it was a trouble free transaction. He was good to deal with. I am however very sorry you have had a problem. Earl

A couple of them ask us to start it. we tried to tell them it would be too loud, but they wanted to hear it. What the heck...

    Well so far on both forums no one seems to know how to do this. I WILL learn how to get this done. I guess I need to start looking for a Duster manuel.

    Duster Side-Rear PoP out Windows?

    I will let you know. If I have to buy a manual and figure it out, I will. I know there has to be an established way to remove the glass. How else could someone replace a glass if it was broken. Unless, god forbid, you would have to buy the whole thing, frame and all. I have it posted on both...

    Duster Side-Rear PoP out Windows?

    I am building a 74 Duster race car. I thought it would be neat to keep the rear side pop out windows, but take the glass out and put poly in. Has any one done this. I have the frames out, but can't figure out how to get the glass out to replace it. I don't want to tear it up by being stupid. Can...

    cooling system

    I guess that what you mean by "if I run it at all, the temp comes right down" is that the car is moving down the road. If that is the case then you do have an air flow problem. The hood being off will make the problem worse. I would build a schroud if I was you, or mod one to fit. I have used...

    Edelbrock Heads on 318

    Since no one else has given you an answer, I thought I would throw my 2 cents in. If you use the small combustion chamber heads I think you will like the results. With Aluminum heads you can run a point to a point and a half more compression on pump gas and get away with it. You now also have...

    cooling system

    Not trying to jump into the middle of something, just trying to help. Being an old guy we learned how to figure out cooling problems on our hot rods in the 60's when we did not have all the pressure testers and stuff you have today. It can only be one of two things. First air flow, second...

    It sounds like a bad ingition resistor to me. If it runs on the start side of the switch, and then cuts off on the run side, then your resistor is gone. Earl

    what are the strongest gear's I can buy?

    I truly believe this to be a fact. After you go below 11.5 and your launching hard, you best be putting a new set of gears in a 8.75 rear every year at the start of the season. If not, your going to break them. You might get away with a season and a half, or two, if you don't run every week, but...
