I finally found it. The sticker is DD626, I got one ordered.

They have stickers, but they don't designate which one for the Street Wedge motor. They have ones for Max Wedge and another for Big Blocks with a 4 barrel, but each have a part# for the Air Filter itself. I didn't know if the Chrome Air cleaner took the standard filter for a 4 Barrel or the...

I am looking for the service sticker that goes on the Air Cleaner housing for a 426 Street Wedge. I have been looking through the sites and I can't find one specifically for the Chrome Air Cleaner. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direct.

Thanks

I have a 1967 Dodge CSS pickup, that has a chance to be featured in a magazine. The motor in the truck is a 383. During the restoration I changed the ignition over to the Mopar Performance one with orange box. The magazine wants the motor to appear as stock as possible, one of the items they...

Has anyone ever had a carburetor restored? If so, would you have a company you would or would not recomment?

I'm going to freshen the motor in the Polara this winter and I am considering going to a different intake which will require more clearance. I was wondering if anyone has cut a hole in a steel hood and what it did to the structural integrity of it. I think the hole would be around 15" in...

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for.

Myron... carefull with the windage tray as I've see oil pressure issues on the dyno using them and power loss as they keep the oil up in the crank area at hi rpm. Wipers are great but stuff too close to the crank is not... Some of the top race engine builders throw those windage trays away...

Seriously, why did you go there. You don't even know the guy who builds my motors. But since you asked he has a Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering, started his own design/build firm, sold it for a bunch of money, and now for the fun of it builds automotive and airplane engines. So, yes...

I asked him the same question. He asked have you ever looked a the difference between a small block chevy and a big block Chrysler? Honestly I hadn't, but he told me take a close look at it. Once again writing in third person here. In a small block chevy the centerline of the crank is at the...

Definitely not disagreeing with you, just what he told me, and I trust him. I thought it was an odd statement also. But, his comment to me was, "have you ever seen a dyno test done on a big block Mopar before and after the installation of a windage tray?", and honestly I couldn't think of one...

I was going to install a windage tray in my 500 cubic B block and my engine builder suggested not to. He said in his experience the windage tray does more harm than good in a big block mopar, actually slowing the time it takes for the oil to get to the pan. He said Chevy yes, mopar no. I was...

Yep, It’s for sale. 1year old.

1) 4/20/18 9.1 mpg (3 or 4 full throttle blasts) 2) 5/8/18 10.1 mpg (the best grandma driving I could do) 3) 5/23/18 10.1 mpg (one full throttle blast, ran the air conditioning a couple of times). Temperatures have warmed up here, daytime highs in the mid to upper 80's
