    Outof Curiosity, the econo SP2 (tiny runner) intake manifolds - intake runner volume/flow correlation

    By StreetSleeper

    -What rpm do you think they run out of steam? Does anyone have any operating experience with them? I just would like to get an idea on the limits of different intake runner capacities regarding cubic inch displacement combined with RPM. Does a giant intake runner impede low performance operation on the street? If you had two different sized intake runners, and they both got you to the power level you want, which would you choose and why? Thanks

    OP thread posting actions

    By SRT_DSTRHOLC

    I was looking for someone to speak with about how to keep threads "cleaner". It has happened more than once that a thread as got a bit off topic. I was looking to see if there was a way to make it so that the OP has the ability to "review" posts before they are actually posted to the forum and allows review and response to the "post" directly with the poster, but the OP has the ability to allow the post to actually post to the thread or not. Just a thought

    My 72 Plymouth Duster

    By NorwayDuster72

    I'm going to start a light restoration on my '72 Duster. When I bought it from the previous owner, I got a new hood with it. Since someone had butchered it by cutting large openings under the hood scoops and cutting off the reinforcements. I started with the used hood, which was rust-free but in poor condition. Had it sandblasted on the underside, and have done some bodywork on it. Then I made the holes for the double hood scoop. Also missing the bumper stops, had to make a pair. The color... Read more

    First Time Out of the Garage

    By 70SwingerGuy

    So Im still not quite done yet, but Cindy came out of the garage for the first time since reassembly began and took a couple of spins around the block to make sure my new brakes worked and stuff like that They did, and quite nicely as a matter of fact I needed to do an oil change on my truck, and get winter tires on our vehicles so I needed to move her. She was very happy to be out in the sun again

    Throwing away OEM parts

    By Donny DartO

    My 7 1/4" diff exploded on me the other day getting on the highway. I replaced it with another entire rear end assembly I had but now am wondering if throwing away a whole rear end is a waste or if these things are every where and I shouldn't feel bad about it. I'm this case it punched a hole in the cover and the diff case so that's probably junk, but I suppose someone could weld it back to usable. maybe I should keep the axles or the drum backing plates? What do you guys do when an original... Read more

    What heads would you use with a SB 6-pack intake ??

    By EL5DEMON340

    Running a 365ci six pack with the mechanical carbs on my 71 demon 340 been together for 26 years now running low to mid 12’s. Thinking of going 416 with one of my 340 blocks and shooting for mid to low 11’s. This is a mostly street car with about 5 to 7 trips down the strip a year so no roll bar and the 6-pack stays. I have started work on iron 915 with major guide work but are a long way off and was thinking maybe just go to aluminum for the lighter weight and better chamber. With the... Read more

    small block distributor (upgraded to GM HEI)

    By DartThis74

    $80 + shipping. Located in Katy, TX. Brand new vacuum advance canister rotor/cap and pickup, although I think the pickup isn't the best quality (Autozone) and was probably my source of frustration and issues I had. This distributor was retrofitted originally with the well known GM HEI upgrade conversion kit that member Trailbeast was selling many years ago. I made a heatsink to mount to the firewall and comes with the coil. Internally, an FBO mechanical advance plate is installed as well... Read more

    1973 Dart Sport 340

    By Dusterndart340

    At my advancing age I thought I had this out of my system but not so. I recently purchased this 73 Dart Sport 340 on a BAT auction. I am wondering if anyone knows anything about this car, originally purchased and “upgraded” by the Montana owner as the story goes. An 8-3/4 with 3:91 Sure Grip under it and I was surprised it had a set of X-Heads (Red Springs) not mentioned in the listing. It’s a snappy car and the small 215/75-14 tires probably won’t last me long. I’ll know more once I get... Read more

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    By MobileCustoms

    Thought this might be a good thread to quickly show what you are up to with your cars today, as an alternative for people who don't have full build threads for their cars. I'll kick it off! Today I bolted on the new Cragar wheels and tires and took it for a quick test drive with no front or rear glass. What a great traction upgrade! 295/50/15s in the back and 155/80/15s in the front. Gave the car a whole new attitude. I also installed my new Champion Radiator that I bought from Challenger... Read more

    410 STROKER

    By GoneShawn

    Good afternoon Everone, After some westling with the dowel pins and a file, I was able to get a dryfit real quick. I was on the fence on the cam, and really want it to be comfortable cruiser and not lug on the hiway with the 5 speed I plan on buying. I also have had good luck with hydaulic rollers in another build, so I reached out to jones and he specified a cam that meets all my goals : high 10s to low 11s (with traction) and a good driver, optmize the TKX 5 speed close ratio...

    New around here so here is my truck and myself

    By DarkWolfD100

    I don’t know how to really introduce my self so I will introduce my truck instead. My truck is a 1977 Dodge D100 club cab with a 318 and a 4 on the floor. I bought it of my grandfather when I was 15 and spent the winter and spring making it run after it sat abandoned at a saw mill for a undetermined amount of time. I am now 16 with a drivers permit. The truck is good enough to putt around but has no license or insurance (so I can’t even drive it on the road yet) I am here for advice on hot... Read more

    ‘75 Duster pitman arm removal

    By duncan999

    Last issue I gotta deal with before I can start putting the Duster back together is the massive fluid leak on the sector shaft. Manual says to remove the pitman arm with tool C-3350-A. What’s the modern equivalent? I am skeptical that the drag link will rotate out of the way so I’m thinking I should remove the pitman arm/drag link connection but it won’t budge. I tried using a HF pitman arm puller on the pitman arm/drag link bolt but it wouldn’t budge. So asking you guys for help before I... Read more

    A Body chrome exhaust tip width?

    By wawarnick

    Good day, I bought a 1965 Barracuda Formula S that was stripped, painted and partially put back together 3 owners ago. It runs, drives and stops. I am trying to get it road worthy. It currently has a leaky single exhaust system, but the rear valance has an exhaust cut out on either side, I am inclined to take it to a custom exhaust shop and have them bend a dual exhaust for it. Since it has cut outs for tips, it would be nice to have them How wide are the rectangular 68 and 69 Barracuda... Read more

    Is your wife into A-bodies?

    By tom999w

    My wife is a foreigner, so has zero interest in A-bodies, or cars in general. Every time I drag home an exciting new project (cars, boats, cycles, etc.) she sees it as junk. And once I get it restored and running she still doesn't see the attraction to it when we go for rides or put it in shows. I'm grinning from ear to ear enjoying the new toy, and she's just asking, "Are we there yet?". Is anyone else in the same boat?

    1972 Demon Build

    By Vyxity

    A while back, I posted about my girlfriend's 1971 Duster Twister budget build. That car has been an absolute blast, and there's just something great about having an old beater you can drive around without worrying about every little scratch or ding. Well, I decided to join the fun and picked up my own ratty A-Body. Some good friends of ours came across this '72 Demon sitting out in Arizona and passed along the owner's phone number. A few conversations later, we bought it sight unseen and... Read more
