    Orange box breaking up?

    Yep the good Mopar Performance orange boxes are just a memory now, just like the rev n nator and the MP chrome box. Sorry state of affairs really. I have an old chrome box as backup for my rev n nator they are both awesome 6000+ but the rev n nator has the built in rev limiter so I run it most...

    Orange box breaking up?

    I've had both occur in my stock orange box days. Should start looking for a different ignition setup if you will spend a lot of time over 5000 rpm.

    Intake manifold height

    I've used all the same intakes with an n96, wish I had the m1 but I sold it. I just installed a new casting Edelbrock 6 pack intake it fits nicely under the air grabber but it's not the greatest quality out of the box.

    Vapor Return lines

    My '70 RR had a 5/16" return line when I got it, 383 car, California emissions and appears to be original. I would add one if you are redoing everything, comes in handy with carbs and a Holley return style fuel pressure regulator it's worth having to keep vapor lock at bay while not deadheading...

    Disaster - Major Fuel Tank Issue

    Just replace the lock ring with a reproduction part, drop the tank and inspect it first and see if it's just the ring. I bought a whole bunch of new parts including a spectra tank when I had a fuel tank issue thinking the OE tank was destroyed with rust on the inside, turned out to be just the...

    Look what came in the mail today

    Are new challengers still being built in the factory as 2024 models? Looks like that flyer is promoting the 2015+ challenger.

    Rev-N-Nator Not Available?

    It's a shame they are no longer made, mine is still installed and running nicely 8 years later.

    Road course/auto cross tires on 15" rim

    Adapters aren't great but you have a lot of backspace so maybe ok for a few autox runs. I wouldn't run them on a road course. Drag radials have a good amount of sidewall flex, and I don't know of any 15" tires that would be optimal for corners that come in a typical muscle car size but if you...

    Oil on intake mating surface- is this normal?

    There are many possible combos for installing a big block Mopar intake, use bathtub plus gaskets or without gaskets with RTV but not around the ports paper gaskets or composite .015" thin felpro or 0.030" thick if the heads were milled ... you get the idea. Lot of different ways and everyone...

    Road course/auto cross tires on 15" rim

    Yes 17" is the sweet spot, 15" exists mainly for spec Miata and small momentum cars like it so you will be limited on section width for rear tires on a high horsepower car.

    Road course/auto cross tires on 15" rim

    My favorite track day tire (road course) is the Toyo R1R, it is 200 tread wear so can run on the street. The Toyo RR is like the Hoosier r7. Toyo has several 15" options.

    Proper Storage/Washing/Cleaning

    Wow I love those white vinyl tops! my 70 is coded for V1W and black interior which is odd so I go without the vinyl. I wouldn't be too concerned about washing the car if you keep it in a dry garage. I'm not too crazy about washing because it's never been restored and has taken damage over the...

    Correct starter

    There is also the option of hooker headers, I've used a set of 1 7/8" ceramic coated comps for years with several different B/RB motors. Needed massaging with raised block and trick flow heads near the passenger torsion bar, but otherwise they are good quality and acceptable fit. The coating...

    Correct starter

    Do you have to have 2 1/8" headers? 1 7/8" with a 3" collector will give good performance and any modern OE (Dakota) or aftermarket starter (powermaster) will easily fit. I wouldn't even consider going back to manifolds.
