Running lean is one reason new engines last longer. Rich mixtures dilute the oil film on the cylinder walls.

SS springs are designed, and optimized for 1/4 mile racing. They have a much stiffer front section, and more arch. They push the tires into the ground more, lifting the back of the car, upon launch. This creates oversteer. On a car that has to turn, the leafs should be close to flat, or at...

You think that's bad. This place wants $47,900 for one http://classiccars.com/listings/view/328296/1965-dodge-dart-gt-for-sale-in-effingham-illinois-62401

Isn't the new Challenger up to 707HP now?

I thought the cop 4bbl 318 used 318 heads and a 360 intake, port mismatch and all.

Carbide bits are what I use to cut through broken high speed drill bits. They have two small chips of carbide brazed to the tip of the bit, and they are very hard, but brittle. Use slow speed, and they will cut long curly shavings through that bit like butter. Might try using a small nut to...

Had a roller reground at Delta Cams, Tacoma WA, for around $90. No complaints. Gave them some specs, and no problem.

Driveshaft, kickdown linkage, shifter linkage maybe if column, are all different. As said earlier, flexplate and torque converter are different. Trans cooler lines maybe, but I remember going big block and not changing them, so they may be the same. Can you tell the difference between BB and...

I use a Lincoln 180C, 220V MIG. It's not cheap, but neither are the welds it makes. I have a 30" extension cord that plugs into an electric dryer outlet so I can take it to friends houses when I need to. Done sheet metal and roll cage on our race car, and 3/8" on my cherry picker. No...

Visiting a friend, and some dude is going around looking for the owner of my Charger. He wants to know if I want to sell it. Told him I didn't, it's my only car, and would need enough money to get another one. He asks how much, and I tell him $30,000. He says he doesn't really like Chargers...

The 727 was stock behind 318 and /6 vehicles. Would Chrysler do this if it didn't have to? I'd go 727 behind anything with some power, or look into what improvements and cost are required to beef up a 904.

In Washington State, since the ticket is not given by a police officer, the maximum penalty is the same as the maximum for parking tickets, and treated as a non-moving violation, and not reported on your driving record. All you have to do is say it wasn't you driving. You can even do that with...

Faded B5 Barracuda at the beginning of The X-Files, where the guy needs to keep driving West or his head will explode.

Don't forget the first number is section width, or the widest part of the tire, not tread width. A shorter aspect ratio tire with the same section width has a wider tread than a taller aspect ratio tire since it bulges out less. This makes some people think 60 series tires are wider than 70...

Exhaust manifolds changed.

Just keep the stock radio as it is, and run a plug for the iPod to an amp. My iPod has an FM receiver, too, if you still listen to that crap.

Car should be perfect for that money, and I see a lot wrong in the engine compartment alone.

People pay more for Toyotas and Hondas, and drive those every day as they depreciate. The gas mileage is outrageous, I will admit.

I moved here from Southern California, and that's where the 383 GTS is. I drive my '69 Charger R/T up here every day, rain or shine.

Sold a guy a /6 because his was knocking. It had a hole in one piston, and another had a rod bolt in the bottom of the pan, with the other bolt bending, but still holding on, and still running. The piston was hitting the head from the slop in the bottom end. There was an impression of the...

The numbers I have are 4243 383 A-body Barracudas. Is one of 53 for '69 383 4-speeds? I'd pay more for an unrestored car that drives and doesn't have big rust problems than a half assed restoration. With those, you have to undo everything before you can start over, and you don't know what's...

The driver's side B-body HP manifold exits aft of the #7 exhaust port. On A and C-bodies, it exits between #5 & #7, thus requiring the #7 plug wire to be routed from the back, and requiring that one retainer on the top aft of the valve cover on those vehicles, but not on B-bodies.

You get double taxed that way. You pay it back with after tax dollars, and are taxed again when you withdraw it.

Ferraris are made by Fiat.

I think it was in a magazine where they found a build sheet inside the original spare tire.

I paint them.

Sell me a 340 4-speed car and I'll register it.

I've blown 2 behind 273 2V automatics.

I've been told to soak the gasket in Formula 409 for a day.
