    Factory Timing, why?

    I was looking at some factory distributor and timing specs and just can’t figure out why these were done this way. Some are pre-emissions so I don’t buy that as a reason. Anyway, most of us would agree that a B or RB wedge does best at 38*, some might argue less and that’s fine. So we look at...

    New obnoxious ad?

    New ad that takes over a big chunk of my iPhone screen reeks of trash websites. What gives? The regular ads of course pay for things, even if poorly targeted, I understand those. But this new thing? WTF?

    How common were AM/FM radios?

    Swapping in a year-correct AM/FM to the ‘64 Sport Fury and it’s occurring to me that I can’t remember many of these at all. How common were they 1/50?

    Dyno app.

    Was looking for something else on my iPhone and came across "PerfExpert", an app for 0-60, 1/4 mile -and- dyno. So I dropped the $12 and got it. Most of the shitty apps of this sort use the gps alone and not surprisingly they aren't too accurate. This however uses the three accelerometers in the...

    ‘70 roadrunner, 8000 miles Not mine

    @Richard Cranium Here’s one for you. This guy lives behind the house where my wife grew up. 8000 miles. Once again, in the local paper. BY BUD WILKINSON REPUBLICAN-AMERICAN Like many teenage drivers back in the muscle car era, Gary Lucia of Torrington could be a bit reckless when he got...

    Many nice car profiles

    This local guy has been doing these “my car” profiles for the region newspaper for years. I usually see the printed version but there’s an online version with video etc. putting a link here because they are fun to look at. Plenty of non-mopars but if you look you’ll find a hemi superbee, hemi...

    ‘64 Sport Fury Complete

    Well, for now… Just finished my spring project, fresh paint. EE1, done in the garage. Only windshield installation sourced out (because it was so cheap). Thanks to those FBBO members who supplied various trim parts.

    Good carpet

    One of the last steps for me in cleaning up the Sport Fury is putting in a fresh rug. Anyone make a good one? Bought one from legendary and am wildly disappointed, it’s like one you used to get from JC Whitney. At the moment I have the commercial rug doctor out and I’m cleaning the factory one...

    SF Deck emblem, 1 part number, 2 parts

    After long looking I secured the missing third piece of my tri-color deck lid emblem! Then WTF? They only ever made 25000 of these and there are two different designs? Same casting number in the bottom too. One deep, one shallow. Looks like I’m doing some filling. Never noticed this before. deep...

    ‘64 hardtop rear window tips?

    Mostly done with the bodywork. I’ve left the windows in until now to keep the dust out. So now I need to pull the glass to get that last bit of body, replace trim clips and window sweeps. I’ve done windshields and side windows before (late ‘60’s models) so I know what to expect. Gasketed Fury /...

    Found original owner and called him

    Went through the service booklet in my ‘64 Sport Fury and found the name of the original owner. Looked him up on the internet and called him. Very cool conversation, he bought new in April ‘64 a week after it was built when he was in grad school. Had the box checked for the 426 wedge but changed...

    WTB 1964 door lock

    I need a "donor". Top popped off of mine and the springs / cover are gone. Tumblers all in place so I need a junk one to harvest the springs and cover. Thanks.

    Roof rail trim removal

    I’ve taken this off of later b-bodies before pretty easily. The ‘64 has a much larger piece of trim and even has clips under it. Any good methods?

    How do I get this off?

    I really don’t enjoy taking trim off. Anyway, sucessfully removing most of it but not sure what’s behind this one. Kinda pivots around but won’t give up. I hate to work it too hard and break something.

    Single stage under hood?

    As I do the worst part of body work (removing trim) I’m pondering the under hood paint, trunk paint and door jambs. Thinking about going single stage in those areas and leaving the base / clear for the outer body. Ever done that? Seems like less of a PITA for those areas.

    Air Fuel Ratio, E10, Oxygen sensor

    I'm interested in tweaking my A/F ratio to get it "maybe better" and I'd like input from those who have taken different approaches. My starting point is a 426W, 9.25:1 compression, magnum cam, CH4B intake, manifolds, and a 3310 "-0", the one with the Chevy part number. Everything in the carb is...
