Got my alternator mounted on the mid plate, along with a belt drive fuel pump, and vacuum pump. Had to scratch my head a while with this one. I used the CVR mini 75 amp alternator, with their BB Chevrolet mid plate mount. Turned it around backwards. It was tight squeeze. had to move a few things...

Got the honor of seeing (and touching) my friend Dana's Plymouth Dealer's Hemi Cuda yesterday. This thing is in pristine condition, and a true survivor, even thought the engine and tranny were missing, the rest is complete. It even has the tears in the headliner where it blew a few blower belts...

This is how you fix your Cal Trac's. Get ride of them, and get a chassis that works.In my case, a 4 link. Finally, a friend who is running them on a Ford, was told by Calvert " We feel they work best on footbrake cars Not that they won't work on Transbrake cars" Wish they would have told me that...

I am sure you are all wondering why the Chevy is so far ahead. It was a Super Street car I was running down. Actually I was .008 to his .012, but I dialed down 2 numbers, and didn't run the number by 2 numbers. Should have left it alone. The car I am racing, is the car NHRA used in 2013 rule...

To anybody running alky (methanol) do yourself a favor,set up a prime/drive system. Cold starts are no problem, warm ups are super fast.Drive to the line and back on gasoline. At race end you can wash out the alky from the cylinders, then put it away for the week. It also drains the fuel bowls...

Dang GM parts, 1st pass it breaks low gear in my 'Glide on the launch.All went well till I let go of the button. I am wondering if it's going to get up on the tires on the burn out with 17" wide slicks. I was wrong. I love methanol, it just plants you in the seat (I did a little high gear pull)...

Just picked this up last weekend. Flew to Atlanta to watch it run, and made a deal, It re-cert. to 7:50 when I was there........She be pretty in pink! Headed to Idaho via enclosed transporter........Valiant still forsale.

Yup, did the exact thing I never do. Dumped a 7 second dragster at a high dollar gambler race, during our Summit Race Of Champions. It was the 3rd round and I didn't trust the car (you know why if you follow my blogs)I just barely dumped him at the finish line, and it was .0084 for him. We went...

Hi Boys (and girls) Has any body had sucess with Floater Ladder bars on a A body? I am not happpy as you can tell by my posts on cal tracs, so I was thinking of switching. I would keep my Mono springs and Rancho shocks. Here is a kit I like: http://www.jegs.com/i/Jegster/550/41013K/10002/-1

You got to love Idaho.We drive my wifes 11 second Dart into DMV. As long as the vin. on the dash matches the title, they charge you $5.00 for walking out to check it. Then rego it, give you plates,for another $40.00, and say "have a nice day".I did put mufflers on it, and pulled the slicks off...

Well at out test n tune, with the 9" Ford diff.,Cal trac's with their mono leafs and shocks all around, I picked up 4 teeths over S/S springs and a snuber (which worked fine). I did go from 4:30 gears to 4:57's,and left full on the converter @ 5500 instead of 4400 as I did all last year (didn't...

Has anyone had an issue with burning the electrode off their plugs. I am running a 440 w/aluminum heads, about 440 Hp at the rear wheels. It's been on the dyno, and isn't lean.Autolite 3926 It only did this to a few plugs. They are not hitting anything either.I ran the plugs all year.Last time I...

Hi Guys I am running Hoosiers, always have on all my cars, but they don't make a tire to fit my mini tub Valiant. I am running 29.5 X 11.5 W which are 13.5 wide. I love them, but I have gone from S/S springs to Caltracs w/ mono's & and narrowed 9".I got them as centered as I can (like 3/8th"...

Hey Gang The on going saga of the Valiants 1st year. I can't believe it.I went to the final at the National Dragester Challenge,King Of The hill race. I broke out at the Challenge race, on a double break out, but I treed him. At the King of the hill race, I got a 13:88 cuda, and a 17 second...

Sorry if I sound like I am bragging, but really I am humbled. A new untested car after 2 years off from even once getting behind the wheel, and we qualify for the Summit series Race of Champions in Seattle. One runner up, one win. Makes for # 5 qualifier At Seattle, the car ran five 10:92's in...

New car,so we are still gathering data to dial. Constant teen lights (delay box). Car works great. Mid 11:20's (adjusted for 3500 alttitude would be about 10:80). Number 7 in our Summit series points.Only losses have been break outs. No red lights. I am a happy camper...

Has anyone had luck running a Blaster 2 coil with a stock Chrysler electronic ignition system? It say's it is supose to work with electronic ignitions, as long as you don't run the balast resistor.Their balast resistor is to be used with points only. I spent tons of time on the net, and couldn't...

Here is the dyno video: Chris White's Valiant on the Dyno 3/29/12 - YouTube 441.86 H.P @ 6500 RPM 388.87 FT. # torque That would be 565 H.P. Appox. at the flywheel. Thanks to Performance Dyno It would have taken all the test and tune time trials, and the car wouldn't be where it...

FYI If you run the awesome TTI headers with a Big Block and a mid plate, you will have to pull the trans, or engine to remove the starter.Header will not come out with mid plate in the way, even if you remove the torsion bar. I also cut the mid plate into two pieces at the top, to make removal...
