Would this fit in a 1969 dodge rallye dash? If so, I'm interested.

I found an extra stud, problem solved!

I'm looking to buy one of the studs used to mount the front center dash speaker to the dash frame (see picture). I have one, just need one more to mount the speaker - let me know if you have one. Thanks! Mike

@charge70 - I'd be very interested in a template for that switch. My dash does not have any opening to the left of the heater/ a/c control panel, but I'm adding the rear defog setup and will need to cut the dash to mount it. I can't find many pictures besides the one I'm attaching.... I'd be...

Is this still available? I'm interested in adding this to my '69 bee, but I don't know if it will fit? I currently have 2 speakers in the rear package tray...

No idea if it's right or not, but that dent will not affect power in any way (see Engine Masters S1E4)

I struggled with gear set choices/transmission ratios/tire sizes for a while when trying to decide on what RPM I was comfortable cruising at. To help, I made an excel spreadsheet that auto-calculates RPM vs speed for a given car (after inputting some known or hypothetical values). Was very...

I'm interested - will send you a PM

I would check out Chris Birdsong's youtube channel where he repaired the inner wells on Frieburger's General Mayhem Charger (among a TON of other stuff): I think he's also a member here so you could reach out to him @smb03 for some advice...

I really wish I wasn't on the opposite side of the country - I really need a set of rear seats for my '69 bee. I'm thinking shipping to CA is probably ridiculous...

That's an interesting point too - any idea how much lift is too much for a non-bushed lifter bore? Having trouble filtering lifters by whether or not they're shrouded...

This is great information to have, thanks for sharing. I think these are the same springs that I currently have in my heads: https://www.trickflow.com/parts/tfs-16318-16/applications

Perfect, this is what I was concerned about. Just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't be shooting myself in foot going the solid roller route if the engine won't be consistently seeing really high rpm. Also good to hear the HS rockers will last, they do seem to be really high quality. And...

Oops, meant to highlight the part number above that - 66233H-16: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/cro-66233h-16/make/chrysler

Looking into larger diameter roller wheels, which seems to be a great way to enhance longevity and resistance to abuse. Even though these Crowers are "full race use", they seem to be fairly priced and would work well even in a street motor. Thoughts? Part number 66234X903H-16 seems like a...
