    Rear seat removal

    Last time I found if I lifted the front edge of the seat I could see the hook and seat frame. Turns out the last maniac to install the seat had pushed the seat spring al the way past the upright part. Took two of us to get it done, one holding the seat up. and one using a long flat tip large...

    Intermittent puff of blue

    I'm having a similar problem with my 426 W. DLI crate motor from 2006. Like you, NO smoke on start up. Compression test all cylinders range 185-200. Spark plugs showing oil on left bank only. Right bank even tan/brown appearance. Smokes only after stabbing throttle hard, never at idle...

    Heater box gaskets and ducts...

    I used drainage tile for defroster ducts and functions fine until you can find OE or OER. It comes in various sizes and may be adaptable to the heater duct as well, so you can get it on the road.

    Went back to a carb

    '65 Satellite with Dick Landy crate engine 426W and NHRA legal. I don't race it, but I do flog it real good once in a while. Has Edelbrock AVS 800. Best thing I ever did was establish an O2 sensor port and temporarily installed a gas analyzer and ultimately tuned it to the suggested specs that...

    STOCK means STOCK

    Am I the only one from the rust belt to have an engine die at a stop light in the winter from carburetor ice due to having removed the exhaust manifolds in favor of headers? The factory engineers had a lot to think about. Another thing is headers plus a low restriction exhaust system...

    2 - quads vs sixpack on '67 440 hp

    I agree. But there are plenty of Holley guys who would tell us we are full of .... I have owned and driven reliably 2 street hemis in the 80's and 90's with zero complaints. Have had 2 hemi race cars, an altered and a RED, with iron blocks and inline Carters, with no complaints. Both motors...

    2 - quads vs sixpack on '67 440 hp

    I like to keep in mind that all multiple carb setups date back to a time when there weren't any LARGE single 4bbl carbs to choose from. If your main concern is to look cool and run multiples, you will also need to accept the fact that manifolds, air cleaners, and carb/throttle linkages all cost...

    Decided it was time to beat on the GTX some (What old guys do for a thrill Part Deux)

    I think the numbers you gave for initial and total advance are right on. They're the same as my 426 wedge with single 800 Edelbrock Thunder Series spread bore carb, and it runs exceptionally well. 12.80 at 105.8 MPH at Muncie Dragway on test and tune night, with 10" street tires. The curve of...

    Decided it was time to beat on the GTX some (What old guys do for a thrill Part Deux)

    Direct Connection (I'm sort of revealing my age now) used to offer a bound book containing all the Chrysler performance bulletins up to that point, well past the muscle car era, like late 70's. The stuff I'm referring to included all the tuning solutions which Hoover and the Ramchargers worked...

    What temp thermostat to use?

    Mancini recommends one heat range cooler than stock, for every 100 horsepower greater than stock.
