just cuz i love my duster

Yeah, a balancer will definitely come in handy! I guess a harbor freight balancer will work fine. And hell yeah that F-100 was bada**. The soundtrack was sweet too. BIG GUN

Hey guys, I've got some property down south of me that I just sold. I've a 67 Chrysler Imperial Crown Coupe on it that has the original 440/727 combo. It has factory A/C and all the goodies. The motor still cranks and fires & drives but the car is scrap from sitting too long in the weather. Now...

I'm thinking about installing a different set of headers. I'd like to get more tire clearance in my fenderwells. So, these Hooker Super Comps are being pulled and the sheetmetal repaired. Any one ever used the headers from nhoa.biz? Or should I save a little longer and just get the TTIs? Thanks...

I rev to about 7200 with a 6A. The only time I feel it needs a rev limiter is when I let the wife drive -she has a problem with the quarterstick and manual valvebody. :) Greg

WOW! That is a very sweet Duster. I'm jealous of that K-frame! Greg

You should definitely use the madelectrical rewiring tip. But first of course find the cause. Greg

yeah, but it's actually hoop-d. Part of american ghetto slang. Greg

IMHO, the pinion snubber works better on mopars. As the axle tries to wrap, it pushes the pinion snubber against the floor. This not only causes the rear to rise a bit, but also "pushes the tires down harder". If that makes any sense. That is why the short front section of spring and long rear...

It's my understanding too that the traction bars on Mopars aren't needed. Something to do with the axle sitting further forward on the springs -which prevents the axle wrap. On GM cars (as far as I know) the axle is sitting in the center of the spring and needs traction bars (slappers) to...

Gotta get those points set, huh? You can get a dwell meter on ebay for cheap. I think snap-on still makes one. Greg

oh yeah, I forgot about the braking and top-end! Greg

Yeah, I had one of those pull next to me one day. He couldn't here my lope over him revving his engine. He lost his smile when I staged at 3500 and left him in a cloud of smoke. We may take those fancy cars in the straights, but the first big turn will make us look stupid. Greg

Whoohoo, another Texan! If you're ever around Austin, come by and I'll blow your doors off for you. hehe. Greg

Check around your town for discount electronic places. They usually have 2-3 year old notebooks in decent shape/quality for cheap. Here in Austin,TX we have a place called Mr. Notebook and all they do is refurbish/repair/sell used notebooks. Usually starting at $150. Greg
