    Spark plug help!

    I need help with which plugs I need. My current plugs are 13/16 and they hit the heads before they are all the way in. It's a 77 motorhome 440 in my 72 scamp with a fresh rebuild. This is the only thing keeping me from firing this thing up. Thanks in advance!

    Which Edelbrock heads?

    I have a side job that's about to wrap up and go into my "hotrod fund" . Looking for a set of aluminum heads for my Scamp. I have been looking at Edelbrocks and can't seem to make up my mind between the performer or the Victor. For the most part my car is a street car, but I do like to take it...

    I have a 72 Scamp that I'm in the process of gathering parts to convert it to BBP disk. I have a set of 73+ rotors and calipers just trying to find spindles and control arms. I read on another post that all spindles 73 or newer are essentially the same, but what about a 73 van? I have one that...

    stall converter

    I have a 72 scamp with a 440/727. Did some converter swapping and was supposed to have a 2400 stall. Took my car to the track for the first time last weekend and on the line all the brakes would hold was approximately 1500 rpm. Running down the track when I shifted the rpm dropped to 15-1800...

    Bucket seats into a Scamp

    I just thought I would share some pictures of the bucket seats I acquired and am putting in my 72 Scamp. These are front bucket seats from an 86 (I think) Chrysler conquest. I am making mounting brackets out of square tubing and drilling holes to mount them. Just thought I would share!

    Budget Build Questions

    I am trying to get my 72 Scamp back together and running but unfortunately I am on a fairly tight budget. The 318 that I put in the car when I was 16 has been sitting for about 12-13 years and at some point the carb was removed without me knowing. I have a 360 out of a 73 van and decided if I...
