Got the old girl washed last night. She’s not mint but considering she sat for almost a decade…… dropped the fuel tank and have a replacement. Gas now a days is no good if it sits around. Got my 727 this am. Need to clean it up and will bolt together

The sitting up look which has settled a bit now is supposed to have a mid 70’s look. Slammed is fine for some but I prefer the *** up look. This power plant is going into the big c body. That car also is rear high. Just like it was 20 years ago when I initially built it.

I’m going to have to get a tunnel ram tee.

Things got off track the last 4 months. I won’t get into the details but the last couple weeks I was able to start working on this again. I now have the engine completely ready to bolt in. I just need to get my trans from the shed and put my shift kit in it. I have a reasonable solid roller cam...

I have checked just cause I was interested to know. This was on a 67 c body after about 200 mile run @ 80 mph average speed. Went to a buddy’s house and swap wheels with him so we both were interested. Cold was about 0.015” hot was 0.002”. I always set mine about 0.015” but I too am guilty of...

I swear it wasn’t me officer

Exactly why I bought the 2 piece I have on my charger. 15x10’s - 4.75” backspace with a 28x12 rear tire. (You can order whatever backspace you want). They fit in the wheel well but the originals looks nicer then what I have. But I always wanted the daisy’s so that’s what I bought for my car.

My vote would be for something like this. Dark middle of the old school daisy mag.

What do you currently have for an engine? Do you have something that runs? Are you starting from scratch? My car originally had a 383. But I didn’t have a running engine so I had a 440 as well. I opted to build the 440 as building a 383 or 440 costs the same. Why do people build stroker engines...

Someone is going to go for a really good ride!

It wasn’t the heat I was so worried about. When I bumped the top (cap) came off exposing the innards and it shorted out and sparked I then grabbed it and Bruned myself as I was trying to prevent it from hitting anything else under the dash. Being on your back with big hands and $h!t hitting the...

Thanks for the info…must not have worked since I restored the car. Dads works but mine never did. I’ll see if I can source a new one.

So I replaced my hazard flasher in my car as the blinker one crapped out last year so I thought I would get that done tonight. I was under the dash and bumped this and it sparked.. end fall off and got really hot really fast. I had the hazard blinker on and of course the interior lights were on...

Well it’s been a busy year and a half. Work has sucked so much of my time. But I’ve done allot of parts trading/fixing on the side and tune ups but I finally have my tunnel ram and carbs and air cleaners. Just waiting for my Heim joints so I can connect the carbs then I’ll put the tunnel ram on...

I agree with the dyno numbers. Hp is a calculated number from torque @ rpm. Watch dyno pulls. Torque and hp # is the same at 5250 rpm. I’ve seen 450 2L turbo engines be slower than a 320hp 360cu in in a a body. The cars were very close in weight. Cause his power band was so small and I had...
