    What makes a “Firm Feel” box?

    If you want handling buy a late model car?? My RR has the stage 3 firm feel box and it handles very well. I really enjoy showing up sports cars in the twisties. If you want the stock box, go for it. I dumped mine ASAP, as it gave no feedback through the wheel, and just seemed way to overpowered.

    What do these belong to?

    Thanks for posting this! Things seemed so relevant back then. I also love the pizza cutter tires offered on the big blocks, gotta be useless

    Wow, super fun watch! Cars were tough as hell back then. I would imagine if a modern car took that hit, it would completely disintegrate

    Gear Vendors on a A833

    I didn’t have to massage my tunnel much on my 69 rr for the GV overdrive. I only use it after drive, not between gears. I’ve got 3.54 gears, and the GV drops the rpm’s quite a bit. I mounted the switch on my shifter, so it’s very convenient. It shifts very hard. If you’re not under load and...

    Installation Tips for Longtube Headers in 383

    I’m pretty sure TTI sells manifold back exhaust systems. If your engine is mostly stock, headers won’t add much hp. Headers are a pain for sure.

    Rear tire size

    So no leaf flex, but the leaning of the car huh? My car is very stiff. Mopar HD biased springs, KYB shocks and a 3/4 sway bar, so it doesn’t lean much. Maybe the rub marks are from me driving fast with 4 people. I’m gonna drive it soon solo and see if it rubs.

    Rear tire size

    It’s a 69 rr. The reason I’m worried is because when I removed the MT 275 50s, I noticed tire rub marks on the inside of the wheel well. I’m assuming the leafs must flex some.

    Rear tire size

    The Nitto looks a bit more street worthy than the MT for certain. And thanks 33 IMP, the gripmax 265 50 looks pretty good, almost an exact copy of a TA. I guess 3/8” really isn’t much less width. I just put 295 50s on it a while back, but haven’t tried it yet. I’m fairly certain that it’s going...

    Rear tire size

    That’s exactly what I had. They handle very well too. But I’ve been caught in the wet before, almost looped the car at 30mph, that’s why I’m looking for same size regular radial

    Rear tire size

    Hello all. Does anyone know if a decent 275 50 15 radial tire exists? I was running that size in a MT drag radial, but I’m not racing anymore, and it was “sketchy” in the wet. I’ve found plenty of 60 series, but I like the handling and look of the 50 much more. Thanks in advance!

    I do believe this was the fastest production car in its day.

    NEW EDELBROCK BIG BLOCK HEADS

    Another head. Since they offer the other BB heads in both chambers, I would assume this one will too. Very vague video. How much cfm? Will stock style rockers work?

    Coil spring (spiral) in a 1971 Dodge

    Why would anybody put two springs on a front wheel? It would only ride “nicely” if the torsion bar was really loosened up, or I’d imagine it’d be very harsh. Mopars torsion bar suspension in know to be well engineered, and when upgraded some, works nice.
