    Roller Rockers for a 383?

    Everyone has an opinion so here is mine. While roller rockers and lifters will not increase horse power they do FREE UP horse power. Anything that you can do to reduce friction will free up hp.

    My 1969 Roadrunner did same. I had radiator recored from radiator repair in Greenville NC. He added extra row. I also contacted Dante’s Mopar and they sell an OE fan shroud and side brackets that slide in very reasonably priced. Took about 20 minutes to install shroud and drop radiator back in...

    Dual point Dist question

    If u set both at 17, checked connection at distributor and car starts you should be fine. The purpose of duel point is faster and hotter due to longer coil charge. A single point can stay open longer at high RPMs due to spring, duel point also reduces this for more even and consistent spark

    Edelbrock's real reason for leaving Cal-I-For-Ni-a

    I still have some Craftsman tools from the mid 70s. Still work like new. I have to agree with most on this post. I’ve had 3 Craftsman boxes over the years. The older boxes had deep drawers so the deep sockets stood straight up and took less space. I finally got yired of buying mid boxes because...
