    dual quad vs single quad

    I did run the cast iron 2x4 383 using 2 400cfm Carters with electric chokes on both along with a progressive throttle. Did have to make my own baseplate from a Hemi 2x4 base modified to fit out of fiberglass. That intake got 2 mpg better then the best 4 barrel attempts. It also had the very best...

    Brake conversion.

    I got my best adjustment by driving in a parking lot with glare ice. It was hard to do in Texas, but it can happen.

    15” wheels to 17”…alignment ???

    If anything I prefer less toe in about 1/16 inch on rear wheel drive car and 1/16 out on front wheel drive. What you are using is still OK.

    Dash Map Light Repair Option: 68 Satellite

    Cause of fire will almost always be related to cracked fuel line. Lucas, the dark lord does not play with Mopars. When the wiring goes, it almost always quits running. Unless the alternator blows up while driving.

    Has anyone hurt/broke the car with chassis stiffening?

    Frame connectors cured a rattle in a 70 Barracuda Conv. It was due to the door moving around in normal driving, saw it in outside mirror and put my hand on outside door seam. I had been searching for that rattle a while.

    Confirming the ported vs. manifold vacuum debate

    This should muddy the waters more, you can also play around with vacuum delay valves. However the only real way to tell if it helps or hurts is to keep very detail records of changes made and improvements or losses. You can also use a 3 way vacuum connection. These changes like this for a street...

    Leaf Spring Clamps

    Now the question is what was there stock for that spring? You can tell by looking at the bottom of the spring for markings where the clamp was, also for the clamp locator holes are. Mine are a older set of SS springs ordered for a different car long ago. Took time to find pictures where they...

    Disc brake kit and the Ramcharger hood?

    On the front brake line, at the master cylinder use a sheet metal screw into the line seat. Remove seat with cutters and remove the residual check valve and spring. Put seat back into master cylinder.

    EFI conversion questions

    Now my 2 cents worth. How about a hybrid system using carb and in tank electric fuel pump? The in tank electric pump solves the gas boiling out of your carb and hot start issues. The only tuning that your carb should need is when the seasons change. Electric chokes IMHO are a god send, at least...

    1969 Super Bee Brake Upgrade

    If you have to make new lines, this Wilwood valve is my favorite. All lines run from it and no other connections. Start with passenger side line as it is the hardest.

    Cragar SS Uni-Lug vs Direct Drill

    I had Uni Lugs on 70 383 Barracuda. It meant that I had to have spare studs and nuts with the car. It would often break studs on the rear, it was not that fast. Have limped back on 3 studs before. Got rid of those rims as soon as I could. edit: It also would break them on the front also.

    '69 Roadrunner aftermarket intake

    Decades ago I made my base plate from fiberglass. Was using 2-4 with Carter 400 cfm 4 barrels. A metal coffee can starts really close to proper size, just have to add some duct tape to increase the size. Spacing got close enough. Height was made too tall to sand down for the proper height with...

    Valve cover gasket explosion:

    Most times water does NOT burn. Gasoline does, car sitting years look for fuel pump leaking. Most likely cause and effect.

    Cold Air Intake Setup

    Well my problem is that I had a 70 Barracuda 383-4 with a Hemi Air Grabber hood. The scoop was attached to the hood and used a "bathtub" sealing base. Was this stock? Well I never knew or cared. It did take the standard Hemi, 6-pack air filter and the filters lasted about a year each. So for my...

    Timing chain cover timing indicator

    With the lower hose being in the way, could you time from the other side of the car? Of course it can not be #1. Kinda like of setting the dist to a different plug in firing order. If you could then make custom timing tag for cover, slightly adjustable.
