I have a few stories, mostly spectating. Street racing around here was still big, even in the early 2000's. The fights and crazy stuff were just as entertaining as the racing. Saw a guy lose a race one night and was so mad, he took a come along and busted out all the windows of the S10 he lost...

Personally, in the last number of years when thinking of doing something to my cars, I consume as much information as I can and take everything into consideration but then, I test everything. I just made some changes earlier this year and tried both ported and manifold vacuum and I went with the...

Thank you for sharing, very interesting. I've been running a set of these for the past 6 or so years and have had no issues at all. I've worked with the owner, Dave, on some other things as well and he's always treated me right. If you look at the head pictured, you will notice that the valve...

I did my first port match on the intake that I'm running on my car now. The above sounds like an easier option but, I used some Hylomar when I prepared it for the port match. If I can remember right, I used blue on one side and red on the other. Drop it straight down, bolt it down, remove and...

I buy from them all. I feel that I lean toward Advanced Auto Parts if I need something right away or whomever has it in stock. Rock Auto most of the time. NAPA I feel has some things I can't find elsewhere. They all have some little things that are different from others, just depends on what I...

I know it's not what you're asking, but anymore, I like to buy new drain plugs with an integral seal. I've had a handful of cars over the years with these, one I've owned for 18 years. It's the original plug and it's 25 years old, never a drop. Hassle free, one time cost, etc.

I agree with Stroked438. I've had Omni on my car for 20 years, along with PPG 2002 clear and it's holding up great. I would not be afraid to use Omni at all, unless maybe it has changed in the past 20 years too.

I ran a set of 1 7/8" primary Hooker long tubes, with 2.5" compression bent exhaust and Flowmaster 2 chamber mufflers. I ran it on a chassis dyno and the calculated flywheel numbers worked out to around 420HP and 520 ft lbs. The car ran a best of 12.25 on a drag radial. Switched to HP manifolds...

I recently bought a set of Micky Thompson cast covers. Scott Drake makes a twist on oil tube that's a restoration piece for a Mustang but, the tube will accept a stock Mopar breather, which allowed me to use it to hook up the air hose to my stock unsilenced air cleaner. Don't know if this...

Let me help you out because I was in the same boat. I have a 69 Road Runner 383 727 car. The car was my Dad's and has gone through a lot of changes over the years. 4.10's were way too much for the freeway in my opinion; the thing would scream at 65 mph. I've changed to 3.73's and it is a lot...

I would probably buy the turn signals and look around a little more for the lenses and bezels. Checking out Carlisle is a good idea too. I went two years ago for the first time with a pocket full of cash and found one NOS part for $25- I was bummed. I've bought a lot of NOS parts for my 69 Road...

Here's a few pics of mine. It's been a little over a year since I had it to the track. This picture is from the last time I was there. I've also had the front bumper re-chromed and added a new old stock grille and headlight bezels since then; I had to post the pic. It's gone 12.25. I have a...

I'll take the whole rear clip. I need the inner structure that comes down from the roof and attaches to the outer wheel house, the structure that attaches to the inner wheelhouse, package tray, the inside structure of the roof and the braces that attach to the piece and go down to the under seat...

Oh no, that's not mine; I copied the picture from another site. Look up junkyard dog on Moparts; the guy repaired or replaced almost every piece of metal on that Road Runner. Did an amazing job with what he had to work with and the post is very detailed with a lot of good pics. I will have to...

Do you still have the car itself? I need some of the metal that attaches to the outer wheel houses and around the package tray. I have attached a picture below; the metal I need is touching or is close to the vise grips in the picture. Can you send me some pictures and what you would want for...
