O, and i'm assuming thats a Demon... A very beautiful Demon, the Devil himself could be seduced. ;)

Yes tis a Demon to be sure but feeling friskier with the BB. There's a half dozen guys around on this forum that'll eventually wake up (like Leo) from their hibernation and chide in.

Terry

Haha, good job...one day...one day, for now i'll just stick with my 360, any bigger and my mini rear-end will be havin a bad life.

O i'm sure they shall, lol, they're just old and slow, i can't blame them. Bwahaha!

Yup, years ago I snapped the splined end off an 8 3/4 pinion gear on a Road Runner and it was pretty messy. To much weight, horses, traction and not enough strength.

Terry

Lethbridge, how is that for central alberta?

Terry

Ahh, 8 3/4! hmm, no i've just gotta 7 1/4 open end...yea...that'll hurt one day. o well.

I guess Lethbridge is close enough. Lol, at least theres snow in your pic. Lmao!

Are you talking central geographically, or population wise? If it is geographically I am from whitecourt.

Alberta is great but tell some of your alberta friends to stop coming to Saskatchewan because they are ruining our small town living with all these rigs showing up, not to mention the assholes with the lifted Fords

I'm pretty sure geographically...theres this area i know of a central alberta, red deer, lacombe, sylvan lake, kinda that general area. lol. But anywhere is welcome!

And umm...not quite sure wat too say about small town sask. living...or lifted fords...

Sorry littleman but as far as I know none of my friends would want to go to Saskatchewan, seems you're missing some mountains. You can always send a nasty note to your Premier who's been doing his best to attract as many Albertans as possible but like most politicians he probably won't listen. Seems they've found some oil in the north of your proviince that they need help developing. LOL. Gotto love the oilmen. :evil2::evil2:

Terry

i know i't not central alberta,but who cares

If you talk to the rig workers, likely about half of them are originally from Saskatchewan anyway (or newfoundland). I am originally from saskatchewan and moved here 15 years ago to find a good job. Alberta definetely had more to offer (at that time) than Sask. But things are likely to get much better in sask with the new govt, price of grain up, and oil development.

Are lifted Cummins Dodges okay? Cause I drive one, must just be a problem with the ford guys!1 Just kidding around....

"O i'm sure they shall, lol, they're just old and slow, i can't blame them. Bwahaha!"


Huh? What? Did someone say something? :smilebox: :poke:
Who you callin' old and slow there son? :sad4:
Don't confuse older and slower with old and slow. :violent1:
Terry, I'm sure glad YOU didn't make that statement. :) :clock:

Forestburg. North, South, and East of just about anything that makes any difference - and just West of Sask. :)

wake up - I'm still in hibernation man - its only March - plenty of rotten weather left for Springtime.

Ben from Edmonton! W00t! Damn you for losing last night Calgary!!! We depended on you to get closer to getting into the playoffs!!

72 Duster 225.

Sorry OldVart... I didn't mean to... Wait, yes i did. Hehe. And i know where Forestburg is! Lol, although i've never actually gone out there. Gone as far as Stettler a few times...had a very nice woman out there. Unfortunately she was also a very complicating person. But thats another story! Anyways... On with the Albertan cars!

Calgary here, more southern than central but oh well.

Medicine Hat but I'm always either lost or
looking for something I lost???????

Edmonton here, moved from Hinton.

Hey how did I miss this post.
Keith from Calgary, dam it's hard to think of taking yor car out in this crappy weather!!

Ain't that the truth. O well, it's in the shop for paint anyways, so not much driving to be done.

71Duster! I hope to see you out at some of the shows this year! Have you joined the Edmonton Mopar Club?

I've been a member for 2 years actully. I only made last years event at Castrol and the prior at Kingsway and came to the one that got rained out.

Now that I've moved to Edmonton and have my car out and the new 340 in I should be around more often.

You were out to the Mopar Castrol event last summer? As was I! I believe I was the only gold colour Duster out there. I'm sure we will run into one another then. I'm a young punk(26), usually wearing a black ball cap backwards. What does your ride look like?

I'll be 26 next month myself actully.

Here's my car

Hey 71 duster, wasn't it you that was having problems getting a good machine shop to do your motor. What ever happened with that.

Terry

Whoa, if that's the case, I would recommend Authority Automotives! He's the guy that's going to do mine, and I have yet to hear anything bad about his work!

I'll be 26 next month myself actully.

Here's my car

http://www.angelfire.com/ca2/stalks/Duster/Duster.html

That's a wicked looking ride!! Can't wait to see it out at some of the shows this year!

Thanks,I ended up going to The Block Shop, they are a distributor for Hughes suff and Brian was really good to deal with and a mopar guy.

The only machine shop I visited that was willing to work on somthing most shops have never heard. A budget.

The engine runs great going to see them soon for some tuning help they have a 5 gas analyzer to put it on and really get it dialed in.

That's good to hear, sounds like you're out of the woods.

Terry

:love7:
Hi ev1 I just bought a 72 Demon Sizzler. Can anyone tell if they know the Production #'s
Thanks Hollie

This is all I know for 72 Demons
Demon Slant Six 318 340
2,885 2,975 3,210

I don't know about specific packages, but maybe someone on here does.
This info came from allpar

thank you for your help.....
I have enclosed a picture of her.going to enjoy this one.

Good luck with her, and welcome to FABO,

Thank you
Hubby is glad he converted me from a Ford lady to mopar..only took him 6 years....

Here is a pic for some motivation. The car is an original 340 3sp manual trans car, It's running a 4 sp in it now. It is an orignal green go (lime) car. When I got it, it was yellow and before that white.

Well, I guess I might as well jump in here since it's a Alberta thing anyway, not just central. My avitar shows the '70 dart that I was driving at the time, sorry to say that I hit some black ice this winter and rolled it twice in the ditch @ 65 mph. I'm ok, and the car started and drove good until the cops stopped me in Taber! (120 miles from the accident) It didn't even blow off the full size dart hubcaps off the back! it had bbp bare ralleys on the front. The wheels did not bend at all and the tires didn't go flat. No leaks. This is a testiment to the strength of these dart 4 doors, it drove perfectly even though there was no windshild! I got stopped btw because I had no tail lights believe it or not! The fuse fell out! It was -18 c or 0 F. It was a 57,000 mile car orig paint and no rust. 318 auto. what a shame. I used the R.C.M.P. officer's cell phone to call a friend of mine and we loaded it up an trailered it back to Lethbridge that night. I have since transferred all of the engine and suspension into a '69 valiant 100 2 door post I had lying around, and it's almost ready to drive now. I had just converted the whole front end to bbp discs and rebuilt the whole susp. 3 months earlier. What a story eh? Maybe i'll post it with some pics... what do you guys think? Tom.:evil4:

Sounds like you made a bad situation to a good one.

Better load up some pics for us!!!

Thanks, Keith. I will show some pics as soon as I can figure out how to load them. I have a lot of pics to go through and am still new at the picture thing. I'm also thinking of posting some pics of the project cars that I have for sale too. Tom.:-D

originally from E-town, then in red deer for 4 years, now back in edmonton!!

With all these Edmonton and RedDeer area guys we need to have some sort of a-body meet.

Spruce Grove, AB here....does anyone know where to get a full 8 3/4 rear drum to drum? sure grip would be awesome.

Best chance is to start a specific thread looking for an a body 8 3/4".

Terry

Hey guys great looking cars, sorry to breakin from out west here, but I was wondering if you could let me know something?

Is Flatla Auto wrecking still around, I'm looking at pricing out some sheet metal for my car.

Yes they are still around that is where i bought my Demon

Awsome thanks for the info, I'm looking for quarters for my valiant.

m0parlady, do you have a contact no. for Flatla Auto wrecking?
Need some bumber brackets for my 65 cuda.
tia

his # is 403-377-2824
Good luck finding you parts..hubby says there is a 65 Cuda in Flatla's yard.

Well folks, i'm not central Alberta. I'm north of Edmonton in Grande Prairie. About a 4.5 hour drive.

welcome....what are you driving?

Anyone going to the mopar swap meet in calgary or the general one in red deer tomorrow?

I'm in grande prairie as well

Welcome dartgtman, nice to see another guy from alberta

Hey Ben
Where were you last week when I was asking if anyone was from Red Deer. Couple of us Sask. Moapr guys were at Pine Lake for the weekend and looking to come and see some Mopars in the area.
Dwayne

Just so you guys know the River City car show is in two weeks in High River AB. just south of me. Last year there were about 1000 cars there, all makes and mostly muscle. They shutdown about 4 blocks of the downtowm for parking.

Hey myride, how goes it? I'm in the Forestburg area also - small world. PM me some details if you're interested and we can maybe get together for a coffee and BS session. :cheers:

I'm from Calgary as well, nice to see Alberta well represented.

:cheers:

RedDeer is pretty central....lol

Carstairs here. I just signed up today.

Carstairs here. I just signed up today.

How long you been in Carstairs Claudius, I've got some history there.

I have been here just over 13 years. By the way, thanks for the names/numbers you posted in my search for the 7-1/4 Sure Grip. I will certainly check them out.

If you lived here while I did, you would not have seen my car because it never left the garage. Between sitting in my father's quonset in Taxkatchewan for 8 years and here ever since, the only good thing is that it was out of the elements.

I grew up in Carstairs and left in the mid 70's. My father and mother still live there, don't know me why.:toothy10:

Edmonton y'all ... Just think of it as a really big A-body :)

awesome....I actually saw you driving these wheels last week around 91 st / 23ave...she looks good!

Thanks man! I live on 84 and 14th so I was pretty close to home. I've been driving it for 6 weeks as my daily driver. I'm surprised how few old cool cars are out on the streets, people have to take them out more.

Don't know how I missed this thread earlier...
Fort Saskatchewan here - formerly from Ardrossan/Sherwood Park.

Hey stwheels - awesome old pic of the Edmonton Auto Spring Works landmark - was truly sad when it burned down recently - such a cool looking old shop. Do you know any of its history?

EDMONTON AREA FOLKS!...I am in the need of big block B or E body 1-3/4" headers for my Duster..mainly the drivers side, but will buy a pair if need be....Anyone hav an old, used or damaged pair taking up room in their yard or garage!?? help a guy out!..if so..send me a PM and we'll go from there..thanks!!

Hi Rob, yes I do and I started a Facebook page
( http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&gid=107055535984487 ) that has a ton more pictures of it. I was fortunate enough to be allowed inside a few years ago and took a some shots before my batteries went dead. I had planned on going back this summer to get more but all we'll see now is a smoking hole in the ground!

There is also a link to a Flicker page with tons more pictures of the outside of the building and to the news stories when it burnt down.

That faded shot of my car in front of the building was just an edit job I did to make it look old. Notice the newer truck in front of me ... DOH!

not Central Alberta....but Aloha from Slave Lake!

Since you woke this thread up,,,,Red Deer here.

with all the Mopars running around Alberta you'd think there'd be a lot on here but maybe they haven't found the site yet! lol.

High River here and it was an awesome car show this year...Hope fully see and meet some of you guys here next year.

I'm in Red Deer. 68 Barracuda ragtop just taking up space in garage but someday ...

High River here and it was an awesome car show this year...Hope fully see and meet some of you guys here next year.

I think I saw that swinger at the high river show, pretty sure, mine was the Black Demon parked on the side of the 7 eleven. I'm in Okotoks

Terry

Hello Terry,I was parked just up the street from the RBC next to the restaurant set for the Heartland tv series.There was also a 2nd sublime swinger just to the west and south a little ways. We may have had a quick conversation I was coming from 7 -11 when you pulled in.Very nice Demon.
Jeff

Hopefully meet some of you guys next summer, would definately like to get to a couple out of town shows. Got most of my parts stocked up to finish the build, now time will be all I need to get it together. Unfortunately I work oilfield and time off is about zero these days. Crossing my fingers that I get a month off in the spring.

I am now in Lethbridge since summer 2011 . Was previously from Cranbrook BC .Hope to meet up with some of the southern members in spring unless I sell my car before then. Merry " Christmas "to all .

Westerose is pretty central....small town central. Only real trouble is I can't blame my burnouts on the "other" green car!

I am in Cow town. Does anyone have the name of a good machine shop in Calgary? I am doing a stock rebuild on my 273-4.
Thanks
Dervco

Hey Rob, Ft Saskatchewan here as well. Check out the 68 dart in the Edmonton Journal today. Its a Bud's

Hey Darin, thanks for the tip. That's a nice looking 68 post car, I'll look for it out at Speedway next summer!

Howdy Swinger 340 Canuck...post a bigger pic of your ride you can post? I've got a 71 as well....looks like your running a nice wheel and tire combo there from what I can see from your avatar. If I keep mine I want to run some aftermarket wheels and tires but being I have been away from Mopar for so long I am not sure of how big I can run on our Dart before running into clearance problems....Ray

from SK but now in Calgary GO GREEN sorry stamps guys)

South Edmonton checking in! Brought my '74 Duster up from Ohio last fall. She has a rebuilt 340 with a SN2000 supercharger and it needs a good tune (any local guys good with boosted carb tuning that want to lend a hand for some beers?).

Looking forward to making lots of the local races next year and maybe organizing some cruises.

Hey Alberta, originally from Hylo, N.E. Alberta (find that one on the map!), living in Calgary but with a cabin on Gull Lake - in CENTRAL ALBERTA - so I count, right?
Anyway, just wanted to bring to every Albertain's attention, Danny posted that he has a '72 Swinger 340 Special, although his is one of a possible 15 to 20 built for Pembina Dodge in Winnipeg, we had them here in Alberta too - from Crosstown motors in Edmonton. There were only 40 '71 Swinger 340 Specials built exclusively for Crosstown in 1971 and then a possible 50 '72's built for them in 1972 - period. They don't exist anywhere else and we've only been able to find 8 '71's and 7 '72's out of the possible 90 cars built, so there's gotta' be some still out there. Now, Ray, you say you've got "a '71 as well" in the 'quote' above. Is it one of these? Check for the LL23H1R (LL23H2R for '72's) in VIN - that goes for all you other A, B, C and E Body Albertain's out there, keep an eye out for one of these 'rare as hen's teeth' A-bodies. Post it here if you've heard of one, seen one, know of one or have one, OK.
