    '69 DartTrunk Mount Battery Disconnect Switch

    I mounted one in the middle of my license plate before. I don't know how the cops are in your state, but they are assholes in Oklahoma. I was pulled over, told to go get a new plate and not to "destroy state property again". My response was, if it's state property, why did I PAY several hundred...

    '69 DartTrunk Mount Battery Disconnect Switch

    You may want to consider a "push-pull switch" from Flamming River. You can mount it under the car and just mount a holder for the lever. Have the lever coming out underneath the bumper. And a side note, the lever can be taken off fairly easy so it only has to be there when you go to the track...

    How to Race a 4-Speed Car

    I can remember years ago when my Dad had his 440-6pack 4 speed Super Bee. When he ran it, you could not hear the shifts, just one steady pull. I have only seen a handful of people that could drive a stick like that. Now you have a goal.... :)

    How to Race a 4-Speed Car

    Cool. How long ago was it? I live in Norman, have most of my life. Born here, grew up here, left for several years and came back. I went to OU back in 1987/88

    How to Race a 4-Speed Car

    some people use a line lock. I kept one foot on the clutch, my toe from my right foot on the brake, and my heel of my right foot on the gas :). Hold RPM at 3K and LAUNCH! Yeah, it takes a little practice.

    How to Race a 4-Speed Car

    I notice they didn't say anything about "side stepping" the clutch in that article. A very useful tool from a roll race. Say you are rolling along around 25 MPH and someone is next to you wanting to race. You can push down slightly on the clutch (less than 1/2 way), to build up RPMS and drop the...

    How to Race a 4-Speed Car

    Just that. With the brake engaged, let the clutch out almost to the point of foward motion of the vehicle. It helps to tighten that little bit of movement in the driveshaft just before you drop the clutch. I had 92,000 miles on a set of stock U-Joints in my 5 Speed Dakota, launching on a 150...

    How to Race a 4-Speed Car

    Oh, one more hint, take the slack out of the driveline by releasing the clutch just prior to the point of forward motion. This will save you from trashing the driveline.

    How to Race a 4-Speed Car

    If you are looking for the best shift point..Try shifting at several different RPM's until you produce the best MPH (may not necessarily be the best ET). The MPH is the best indicator as to how much HP you are getting out of it. Once you have established what shift points will give you the...

    Tire Pressures

    I always ran around 15# in the slicks on my R/T. Last weekend, I started with 20# and ended up netting the best 60' ever. I may try to throw a few more pounds in this next time and see what happens. When it spins, drop down in 1.5 pound increments.

    NHRA rules

    I had mine mounted like that on my old Dakota. When a cop pulled me over he told me that I was "destroying State property" and he could write me a ticket for that too. I don't know if it would have stuck or not. But I would be leary of it, just in case you run into a jerk of a cop. He ended up...
