Apparently I need to read instruction’s. You cannot time a msd 6Al with a dial back or digital timing light. My 6al is a digital unit and I have it retard timing based on a map sensor, and rpm. Once my new old school timing light and timing tape came in. I was able to see i had my timing set...

Slapped a 600cfm carb I had laying around on the wagon and same issue. Im wondering if my timing is off or something. Will be checking my settings on the 6al tomorrow. Threw my wheels and tires on and the wheels are different for sure… maybe warming up to them. But aesthetics aside - 275s all...

Well gentleman… I drove the wagon! Still alot to do before she has street manners. But i drove the car on her first journey. Roughly 30 miles on some back roads to our other shop in Johnstown. And got a wave from a dude in a yellow 70 GTX, honestly the best part was seeing 2 B bodies on the...

Here are some interesting test results from engine masters. I cant find all the videos however, They also confirmed bashing your headers to fit does not effect hp. As well as exhaust cut out gains regardless of where they are in the exhaust system. The x pipe vs h pipe was 1hp loss with an x...

Its also not even close to centered because those headers are trash. Extremely frustrating

Yessir just south of loveland. Very cool! A dyno would be a game changer.

Yes, in order to fit 3 mufflers and the cut outs I had to turn it sideways so it fit closer to the transmission cross member. I bet it cost me a whopping 2hp-5hp. Not too worried about it, However aesthetically its annoying.

Being in wyoming I bet you need to drill the throttle blades because you are leaking fuel out of the idle circut and running rich. I have a wideband O2 i use for tuning. We could tune it at my shop off i25 next to Johnson’s corner.

This is why I was getting after it so hard before my baby came... Made killer progress. Hopefully She will get to a tinker here and there stage someday soon. I am great at little things. Just gotta get over the get it driving hump. I have faith you all can get yours going someday as well. Would...

Co-worker also made some brackets to mount the trans cooler properly. He made them with our new flat stock bender. Turned our super nice. Also used preexisting holes in the car.

Spent a little time this week on the wagon. Worked on getting the Gladiator or JL Wrangler sway bar modified. Had to cut 5” off both ends so it lined up right. Then Put it in the press to crush the ends which was extremely scary and sketchy. Then we ate up 7 drill bits for the new holes...

Hope Everyones year so far has treated them well. Life has gotten busy for me and thus the cars progress has slowed. I opened up a second shop in Johnstown Colorado and have a newborn baby to attend too at home. My mopar baby has only had a few things ironed out. Carb throttle blades were...

Merry Christmas! Feeling good, As the project is movable! Ran the Exhaust out the back and added another set of Flow FX mufflers. I ended up picking up a TCI Street Fighter Transmission. Not My first choice, but I found one in stock and it was the cheapest option and the fastest. I ordered it on...

My Coworker ran out side when I first fired it up and said "wow that really sounds like a daily driver..." Same guy who drives a Prius. All my dailies have been questionable and thats how I like it.

Video Editing is not my forte. Heres some short clips of the Exhaust. I believe its Due to the Hydroboost and "small" Carb. But I am super pleased with 18" of vacuum at idle at 5,000 feet of altitude. Zero vacuum is used off the motor. Thing cold starts perfectly and has a nice chop to it...

Made great progress and then the project came to stall... Installed dakota digital gauges, wired up the engine and 6al MSD box. Discovered the MSD box was broken. Redneck wired up the cheap Chinese ready to run distributor to get it started. Engine Fires right up every single time which is...

Still Plugging away. Ran into a few issues and made some solid progress. We are down to the Ol' cardboard list which is a good sign. Lack of pictures on the progress. Not much time lately so I am too focused on scratching something off the list. Issues. 1) hotchkis shock leaked all its fluid...

Finally got my brake booster and master mounted. Apparently the napa units don’t come with a pushrod in between the master and booster. Clears everything including the shock adjusters. Before calling it quits i was able to install all the -6 fittings on the pump, booster and box. I will make a...

Set ride height at 1” of rake from the fender to wheel hub. Might be more rake according to the rocker to lift. I will check that for fun. Tack welded my frame or chassis connectors. Need to put it back on a 2 post to fully weld. Rolling jacks worked beautifully for pushing those new rails in...

Alot of work left. But the car is on the ground! Alignment and torsions need adjusted but the rear ride height I like. No blocks or nothing. Chassis stiffners, wiring next week. Little exhaust work and she should run! Driving In a another week maybe.
