    Installing new motor mount 69 B body

    That link for 440Source shows the issue with the MagMount from Mancini, the holes and welded nut are much lower on the "ears". This can be fixed, provided the nut can be welded on again without the heat damaging the rubber or its bonding to the plates. The hole on the other side would have to...

    Installing new motor mount 69 B body

    I just bought a set of these, and installed the piece having the through-bolt, on the driver's side. The mount's surface does not rest on the K-frame's pad, but rather is held up about 1/4" with the weight resting on the bolt that retains the mount on the K-frame. I called Mancini, this...

    Datalogging RPM Signal

    I run either a Thermoquad or a Mighty Demon, have considered trying to link up to the throttle cable so the carb doesn't matter, or get the Innovate that is supposed to work with Demon carbs and just use it with that one---although mine has vac fittings where that one connects to the primary...

    Datalogging RPM Signal

    Good deal. I've got no LM2, went piecemeal with a PL-1 Pocket Logger recording from an SSI-4 Plus that's got an MTX-L Plus, tach feed and MAP sensor feeding it. Thinking of adding a TPS, sometimes I'll get a run that's a little faster or slower than expected when the car doesn't follow air...

    Datalogging RPM Signal

    Dug up this old question, hoping OP solved the issue. I wound up having to be very careful to isolate the tach signal from my car's MSD-6AL box all the way to the potentiometer. I was routing all of the accessory wires through one grommet in the firewall, when I segregated the tach wire and...

    67 R/T Wheel and Tire Help

    Thanks, good luck with your car! That's the original 14" steel wheels and tires are 24" tall. This past year I bought some 15x5" steel wheels and put 205/75/15 Kumho cheapies on them.

    66 Coronet "day 2" type while/tire mod

    Certainly says steel right there on the website, even looks the part, too. I can't go faster than 12.0 in the 1/4 mile, 7.50 in the quarter, during the heat of summer usually not a problem but when it cools off it can get close. My drag car deals with the weight fine, but I can see where it...

    66 Coronet "day 2" type while/tire mod

    Yeah, something we can't really do at home, so a pretty significant one and the key to getting tires to fit. At least it's an option when we can't get the aluminum rims we want from a catalog or the used parts supply chain.

    Pretty much a custom job to get them to fit then. Thanks!

    67 R/T Wheel and Tire Help

    This is my car when the Superstock Springs weren't so old, back in 2013, so about 8 or 9 years in. They were supposed to raise the car but it wasn't much over the original 318 spec springs. Maybe I got some pretty flat ones, doesn't help that the battery's a big one and sits behind that right...

    66 Coronet "day 2" type while/tire mod

    Are those steel wheels? I've been looking over rims to put wider slicks under my car and not finding anything with the offset I want. Best is zero, then most run into negative offset.

    67 R/T Wheel and Tire Help

    I don’t know what differences you will see between spring choices when it comes to wheels and tires. I ran a set of super stock springs and hangers for years on my 67 Belvedere and for the past 2 have used xhd from ESPO. Wheels, tires and slicks the same, General 255/60/15 on steel rims from...

    Anybody find a performance increase with MSD 8546?

    I think it's more of an emissions concern than anything else, there are claims for it helping keep plugs and chambers clean. I know I've left my vacuum line disconnected on trips back from the track and have driven around without it for a few weeks, similarly no noticed problems from a driver's...
