For over 23 years, I've been a slave to the high cost of Premium fuel when I buy gas for this car... The first 440 was built and swapped in the summer of 2001. It was iron headed and around 9.2 to 1. I ran Premium 92 then... When the octane dropped to 91, I don't know if I noticed a...

I could say that is was presented with a dare, a challenge to drive across the country from California to Pennsylvania next year for the Carlisle Mopar Nationals. It sounds tempting but we all know how easy it is to say yes to something that is a just an idea and not yet a reality. I’ve driven...

I don’t travel much, at least by plane. I’m out here in Pennsylvania for the big show and the wife reserved the reservation…, Nissan Rogue. I won’t even bother to post a picture of this nondescript, generic compact SUV. They all seem to blend together for me. First off, I don’t like key FOBs. I...

We all have something that annoys us when we are out driving around. Tailgaters piss off a lot of people, myself included. I'll tell you what REALLY annoys me is the losers that want to drive right next to me when there is almost nobody else on the road. It reminds me of the guys that park next...

I'm the guy that is usually the LAST to try or to accept new technology. A.I. is one of those things. I've heard of this site/program and decided to ask it a question. I've heard that you can load a picture and have it change the background or other things. This is probably just scratching the...

If a deal seems to good to be true, trust your instincts. Beware of Websites Posing as Summit Racing Equipment To Our Valued Customers, We have been made aware of fraudulent websites posing as Summit Racing Equipment and offering products at heavily...

Are you with me? Late model cars take what was simple and make it far more complicated than it should be. Remember when the old cars had mechanical levers and bellcranks for throttle linkage? Later on, cables were used and yes, they worked just fine. Now with pretty much everything being "drive...

I know, we are a Mopar community but AMCs are sort of a cousin of ours. Today, I saw this...... I don't know the year, I don't know the equipment it has either... It is a little scuffed up but looks mostly complete. It had a column shift but also what looked like an early 70s GM style...

Who has a few pictures of these to share? Late 60s Valiant: 1970 Road Runner or GTX. 70-71 Dart.

Sometimes, I've found that Engine Masters has already dyno tested a part that I was wondering about. They've done hydraulic roller cams VS flat tappets, headers with a variety of different mufflers, all sorts of cool stuff. I don't recall seeing them do a back to back test of the popular Trick...

This issue involves THIS car but before I get to that.... ...I'm building a 1990 roller 360 for my beater 67 Dart. The car sits most of the time so the dead temperature gauge hasn't been an issue but with a fresh engine going in, I want the gauges to work. I remember the old test where you...

This is a topic that I never thought of. Oil drainback. Look at the picture of the deck of an LA series: Here is a 440 block. All I can see in both blocks are coolant holes and head bolt holes. Does all the oil that makes it to the rocker gear drain back through the lifter valley? I see...

Is there any advantage to running rocker shafts with oiling holes on the top and bottom? I have roller rocker arms in my 440/495. If I used rocker shafts like you see above, the top segment of the rocker arm would receive direct oiling. Right now, I have replacement shafts with the holes...

I thought that they were okay but then again, I’m never following my own car. The 1969-70 Chargers had tucked in lenses that look dark until they are lit up. My taillights seem bright enough here: It seems like the brake lights should be about twice as bright as the taillights but for me...

I was talking with my nephew today about how amazing that engines are and how it seems like everything has to go right for them to run as well as they do. I told him that at freeway speeds when an engine is running at say....2500 rpms, each piston fires about 20 times a second. I based this on...

There has been some upheaval within the club this past year. They voted to disband but a group of dedicated members are working to keep the club going. Lets see if we can make it to the event and show our support. @Dennis H @68 Sport Satellite @1 Wild R/T @CoronetDarter

I sure have. Ever since I did a 5 speed Tremec swap in my car in 2021, I’ve dealt with poor fitment of the pads and yes, they have slipped off a few times too. A short time back, @DeltaV pointed out something in a picture that I posted in a thread about my tilt steering column project… I...

The older I get, the more I question things. Sometimes when someone asks a question on a web forum like this one, some “helpful” member tells them consult the FSM/Factory Service Manual. Yeah, sometimes that does help…. But not always. The last few days, A buddy and I have struggled with...

Sam Kinison was killed 33 years ago today, April 10, 1992. He was driving his 1989 turbo Trans Am...

For years, I thought that this was a converter.... The truck has a 5.7, I've owned the truck since it was new. I removed the huge muffler and resonator that were further back when the truck was still new but I never touched the exhaust forward of the Flowmaster you see here: I always...
