    How about a nice cold Pabst Blue Ribbon...

    Our bar has Pabst on tap. I get a Pabst back for free with Mezcal. Cans don’t taste near as good.

    No oil pressure on start up after oil change.

    I always fill the filter with as much as it will handle without spilling while installing. It helps get pressure up sooner period. Since the engine is still warm, I start it and IDLE it. I don’t rev until pressure is there. One minute without oil is not good. I’d shut it down after 5-8 seconds...

    PCV valve hose goes???

    I run a breather on each valve cover, no pvc. It’s been like that for years, seems fine.would there be an advantage to running a pvc? Not a stock engine at all.

    New B body leaf springs, which vendor?

    I put Mopar HD biased leafs on my RR twenty years ago, haven’t sagged a bit yet. I bought Mopar springs for my Dart eight years ago and they were over an inch different in height.

    performer rpm intake install on rb 440 valley pan gasket?

    I’ve always had good luck with just the pan. I can see how if things had been milled a lot maybe use gaskets. I have had the intake milled as well to get good alignment. I would think with two gaskets per side, it would be tough to have the port openings line up perfectly.

    Where is this Superbee?

    Ok, thanks all. I believe it was a dull black with orange highlights with a 8-3/4 rear

    Where is this Superbee?

    I read in Mopar Action many years ago about a 68 or 69 ‘Bee with a stroked 400 with Mopar aluminum heads. He’s last name was Daughtry I think. He was running low 10’s I believe. At some point RE claimed the car had dipped into the high 9’s. Does anyone have any pictures or more info on this car...

    440 block oil pick up tube threads

    My car fell off blocks under the k frame, and a block dented my oil pan. It cracked my oil pickup female thread in the block. The pickup tube was loose. I wrapped the male thread with Teflon tape. Still has 60 lbs at idle.

    Firearm and Ammo of choice

    Being in CA is tough. I bought a stripped AR15 lower from an armory. I ordered everything else from PSA, shipped to my house, and built my own gun.

    Door stop’s now available in grocery stores

    Rancid nuts can poison you? I’ve definitely eaten rancid peanuts at the bar while drinking. I think I’ve eaten fruitcake toasted with butter on it, not too horrible….
