    I know know, another will it fit thread….

    Not without sitting outside the fender, or hitting it if it's not jacked up enough. Wait for the correct wheels. 15 x 10's on '68/'69 b-bodies work with my 29.5" tall x 9" slicks. Have 5.5" bs.

    EX racer on ebay 1963 plymouth Gunsmoke NOT MINE

    Car was owned by a friend of mine in the late 90's or 2000. Emedio DeMarco was his name. "Gunsmoke" ran almost identical numbers to our '63 "FRUSTRATION". Low 11's. Last I saw a guy in NY owned it. This car used to be really clean. My dad nearly bought it when Emedio sold it. Yes, Jerry...

    Torq Thrust D rims and backspace? (sorry, I had to)

    Cool car. Love the '66 HEMI and '65 Plymouth as well. First let me say that I have zero experience with your body style. I think your best bet is to try to find a friend that has a pair of wheels and tires that you can try. If that is not possible, measure what you have on the car now. See...

    TUNING A SIX PACK

    That's really cool. Would love to know how much difference the mods to the intake made. I'm sticking with the Weiand for a while anyway. I may do the stocker mods though, while it's off the car. Thank you for posting.

    TUNING A SIX PACK

    Here's a little update on a change I made yesterday. I was able to borrow back my old Weiand six pack, tunnel ram from a close friend. This intake has all the Mopar Engine Book modifications to the inside, including dams and grinding, as well as a jet change to my stock carbs per the book...

    Stalling on Hard Stops

    I had this same issue with my '69 6bbl road runner. It was absolutely float related. I found that my floats on the outboard carbs were coming into contact with the jets. I run a Pro Maxx metering block in order to use jets on the outboard carbs instead of plates. You can purchase floats like...

    TUNING A SIX PACK

    Sorry for the delay getting back to this bogging off the line, and lean condition in the 4000 RPM range. I noticed a fuel leak on my intake manifold. Not a ton, but enough to smell and a small puddle would form on the driver's side. I found out that the accelerator pump had warped due to...

    Spark Plug Recomendation

    I am helping a friend get his '66 Belvidere tuned up. I am trying to find Autolite 84 spark plugs, and no one seems to have them anymore. The engine is a steel-headed 440. Any suggestions on a good replacement? Thanks in advance.

    6 pack high rise

    I drove this intake on the street in my road runner for a while. I had issues with my fuel system that I was unaware of at the time, so my tuning info is somewhat bogus. Would have loved to run it after fixing the other issues, but I traded it off before having the chance. I can tell you that...

    1972 Electronic Ignition Upgrade

    I second the vote for the factory-style system, especially in a street car with limited drive time. We run a factory distributor with a chrome box in our '69 road runner. Drives, starts, and races great up to 6500 RPM. I also agree that the MSD 6AL is a good alternative. Having a rev-limiter...

    TUNING A SIX PACK

    Well, our track rental got rained out Memorial Day Weekend. It was rescheduled for yesterday in the 95 degree heat. We had 46 cars show up at Cecil County...mostly mopar, but other brands as well. Everyone was off at least three tenths due to the heat and track condition. My son was driving...

    TUNING A SIX PACK

    Bob, I was talking with one of my good friends about this yesterday. He said the same thing, and does not think the issue is coming from the power valve at all. He thinks it's coming from the delay in my secondaries. I run a purple and brown spring to slow down the hit. It's mostly a street...

    TUNING A SIX PACK

    OK, here's a little update. Last night I bucked up and took my road runner to the local chassis dyno. I'm trying to get the car ready for a track rental Memorial Day Weekend where lots of my buddies will be fighting for the top of the hill honors. My main goal for this session wasn't...
