Looking back over my hot rodding history I really haven’t owned that many carbs. Most were probably on the conservative side. I’ve often wondered about stepping up a bit on my current W8 mill, but it would be an expensive experiment. It’s sure responded well to other changes we’ve done on...

Chuck is one smart cookie! I remember when his “shop” was a clean room in the back of his garage in Coon Rapids.

That’s funny…….

Made a trip out to the side yard and the car is still hibernating in the trailer. Our intention was not to race until March in Vegas (Muscle Cars at the Strip). Buuut…. it was noted that the NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Series kicks off in Tucson in February. We’ve had fun running that series in the...

:) ……why would I run cheap fuel when I can buy that fine craft diesel in needles

If we’re on a longer pull and wanting to make time I’ll look up on Gas Buddy and find the station nearest the cheap one thats .05 to .10 more expensive. Guaranteed there will be no lines. I call it the convenience tax. Diesel is 3.23 down the street….. but I can go 15 miles south to CA and...

Erwin (Irwindale) Cuellar in the yeller stang. And an older picture of Shilohs Dart as he’s got that thing scientifically advanced enough to where it hardly pulls a wheel. Lastly a guy that brought a spork to a gunfight

Sorry I didn’t explain that better….. but as stated, to insure pump halves aligned. ……and by the way that pump looks phenomenal! Looks like new!

Well address the crank sensor issue for sure…. Your drive on hoist will be a blessing for this as you have to drop the starter to access (and as long as the starters out, throw a new set of contacts in the solenoid and it’ll last you your lifetime). I’ve got this lil unit from days long gone...

Oil pump drive……. Man I still have the tools to RnR that bushing!

If you disassemble the pump, use some hose clamps around the pump body during assembly.

What “odd quirks”? Not like I didn’t own one 18 years.

The fact that you have to sit down and weed out which Mopar event you won’t be attending is why I hate ya’ll
