Great point. I have the Mopar "purple shaft" in the engine. The factory cam so I'm thinking the factory manifold now would probably be a good fit. A little side story, as I was growing up and grudge racing this car on the weekends It's had lots of parts put in it from solid lifter cams, a...

From my rearch the Performer RPM has a power band of 1500 to 6500. While the Mopar Performance P5153525 is advertised to have a curve of idle to 6000. While they look the same there must be some difference.

Thank you for your response. That is truly the direction I'm leaning towards. Off idle response to 4000 on the street is where I'm going. The days of the 1320 are gone for ever for me. ;-) The Mopar Performance Manifold seems to be the best choice.

I have a factory version of the CH4B but I want something upgraded and new. I have the hood clearance and I'm leaning toward the Mopar Performance version of the Performer as the power curve is advertised to be idle to 6000 and that's where this engine will spend the rest of it's life with this...

After over 45 years of having a fully operational Six Pack on my 65 Satellite with a 426 Wedge I want to simplify my life and put a single four barrel on it. I don't race the car anymore and it's just an old street show car with lot's of fun parts to cruise to a show. But I'm looking at the...

From what I gather is that Cragar cast a steel strip into the aluminum center. This strip of steels is then welded to the steel wheel. Now after talking to the guys at Stockton Wheel apparently the outside rig of the aluminum center is a tight fight to the steel rim so the weight transfer of...

Thank you gentlemen for your comments!! To say I'm pleased is an understatement. When I first got this car it was my daily driver and the wheels got all sorts of abuse from the weather and elements. I used to live in the SF Bay Area with the salt air there too and it was a problem for...

Oh yea!! They are better then nice!!:thumbsup:

Well gentlemen, I'm excited to report that after five and a half months I got my wheels back and they are better then new. The wheels were disassembled so the aluminum centers could go in one process and the steel wheels would go to another. The quality of the chrome AND the welds is...

I could not agree more Bob! The old iron, big engines with big pistons and long strokes make gross power the old fashion way. The new stuff is very cool as to how it works all the time in heat or cold but our old iron is truly what we want to see in a car show. The cookie cutter chrome and...

Just a little thought on "our" Six Packs. When they work there is nothing like it. Usually they work well all the time but when they give you fits they can really be a heart ache! I have two Chrysler products with Six Packs on them and there is nothing that gets the ooh's and ahh's like this...

Great idea and really nice excution of that idea. Years ago I took a small "flex" screwdriver and welded on a little tip as you have here and it was clumsy and hard to use but what you did is a really nice idea and I may try to duplicate it for my own use.

Current update: I delivered the wheels to the Stockton Wheel Works facility and also got a nice tour of their shop. They are definitely in the business. They are very famililar with this wheel and have done this many times before. The only risk that they explained to me is that after they cut...

That's a great point about the oxidation that I didn't think about and I'll let the plater make the call. The old chrome has to be stripped off and maybe they will deal with that oxidation that is present at that time. Trust me I've been looking for a good set of wheels for years it seems...

I have looked at them and compared and the wheel design is different as they are not a "reversed" wheel only a deep offset. Plus they are unilug and my wheels are predrilled. So there truly is no easy way to get out of this. The wheels have to match and for old car nuts like myself "we" see...
