    Flowmaster question

    I've had Flowmasters on my '68 Bee (383 car) for a few years. All new 2 1/2 " TTI pipes with 40 Series Flowmasters. In the last few months, I've noticed a change in the tone on the drivers side at about 2K RPM. That has always been the point where I get the drone, but now it's kind of a sharp...

    Manifold to head seating - how do you check it?

    When installing a new manifold, how do you check that the manifold is properly seated, with full contact, on the head? I've used prussian blue and it's okay but I was wondering if anyone had a better method. Ed: Yes, I meant intake manifold

    Ken Montgomery RIP

    Sadly, I learned that Ken Montgomery passed away. Ken's '555' (triple Nickel) '65 Plymouth was well known and respected in the northeast. Anyone who had the privilege to meet Ken, met one of the nicest guys in drag racing. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

    D-O-D-G-E Dealership letters- very cool

    Not mine but I thought someone might be interested. Saw these on Craigslist (South Jersey) and these were too cool. Had to post this: http://southjersey.craigslist.org/atq/3410241941.html

    Vineland NJ Cruise on June 9

    Not all Mopar but this was a huge event and I thought you might enjoy the pics. Vineland NJ's main drag is Landis Ave (the 'Avenue'). It was a hot cruising spot in the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Once a year there is a big show/cruise but this year's (June 9) was really something else. Reportedly...

    Alternator wiring question - mystery wire

    I've been having an issue with my alternator not charging properly. I've checked the alternator, regulator, and the battery and everything seems to be normal. So, I started checking the wiring. In the schematics that I've looked at, a single 'FLD' post alternator should have a green wire to...

    Tuff Stuff Alternator

    I'm thinking about switching the alternator on my Bee to the 60 Amp Tuff Stuff one wire alternator. I like the idea of the simplified installation which elimnates the voltage regulator (I've already eliminated the ballast resistor). I've read a few cautions about this. If I read things...

    Ken Montgomery

    I just read that Ken Montgomery will undergo surgery, on Monday, for a heart aneurisym. This was reported to be in a Houston hospital. I'm sure most people know of Kenny. He is a long time Mopar racer and a first class guy. His '65 Plymouth 'Triple Nickel' has been a favorite with east coast...

    Blasting media for a cabinet

    I was wondeing what you guys use for blasting media in a cabinet. I've considered aluminum oxide and the crushed glass. The price on the glass makes it tempting but I'm leaning toward the aluminum oxide. I've got a cabinet that I made and it's pretty big (48"L x 32"W) and it's gonna take a lot...

    Live streaming video-Bakersfield HotRod Reunion

    Happened to run across the link to this. I watched a lot of it. The feed is a little choppy but it was fun to watch. 40 floppers for a 16 car field. Lots of front engined fuelers. A/Gas was kinda cool too with studebakers, kaisers, ramblers and a '35 DeSoto Airflow with a Keith Black bullet. No...

    old gas pumps

    Anyone else have an old gas pump that they've restored or are going to restore? I've got an Aqua Sytems Inc. pump that I've started restoring. I've had the thing for many years and stored it inside. It's in pretty good shape next to many pumps I've seen. I've always wanted to find an old...

    "Pass Time" on Speed Channel

    I guess this applies to "pinks" as well...Ken Herring on both of those shows always has some smart *** remark about Mopars and it really gets on my nerves. I like those shows because they feature some really nice cars that you don't get to see much on TV. I was watching "Pass Time" tonight and...

    New tires and wheels

    For the last 18 years I've run my '68 Super Bee with stock steel wheels and dog dishes. I've always liked the look but I'm ready for something new. I'm thinkin about the one piece Cragar S/S wheels (the cast aluminum, not the steel/aluminum). I know a ton of cars have 'em but I've always liked...

    70 Chrysler 300 Convertible Six pack car

    I know it's not a 'B' body but this car sure looks neat. I saw it on our local Craigslist. I posted it on the 'C' body forum also but since I'm a lot more active here, I had to post it here too. I can't answer any questions about the car. I don't know the owner or anything else about the car. I...

    A few pics from a local cruise

    Sorry the pics aren't top quality. These are a few from a small local cruise that's a personal favorite. Included a couple non-mopars 'cause they belong to friends. Also included an 'altered wheelbase' VW bus that was there. '58 Chevy that's a classic 50's cruiser. No small block here, it's...

    Any Montana members here?

    I have a '68 Super Bee that was sold new at Frontier Dodge in Great Falls, Montana. I was wondering if anyone might have a dealer sticker, dealer name tag frame, dealer logo, or even a picture of the dealership.

    Mechanical fuel pumps and ethanol

    In my area it's gettin' almost impossible to buy gas without ethanol in it. Most places are selling 10% ethanol. I'm wondering if anyone else is concerned about the effect of the ethanol on a mechanical fuel pump. I use an additive called 'Star Tron' in my power equipment. On the tractor and...
