The promoters of SFOB used the Jalopy in one of their Instagram stories. Oh and the Von Zipper was pretty cool too!

Just got the Stealth heads on and got it fired up. Left the timing and carbs alone. She wouldn’t idle, So I adjusted the idle speed up and fattened her up a smidge. She’s sounding real good. I’ll put another heat cycle on it then re-torque the heads. Wasn’t expecting to have to play with...

(2) 15x4 1 3/4” backspace (2) 15x8 4 1/2” backspace 4.5” bolt pattern. Nice wheels w/center caps. LOCAL PICKUP, will not ship! possible delivery within reason in NorCal is negotiable. $350 obo

I have a pair of big block 915 heads. Came off of my running motor. Nothing wrong with them other than one broken keeper from when I pulled the valves, out, and didn’t number or put them back in the holes the came from. Will come with brand new springs from 440 source for a .510 lift cam...

Ok folks, I just picked up a set of Stealth heads from 440 source. My first go around with aluminum heads. I’m preparing to install my springs and they call for 1.90” +/- .020 installed height. After measuring one head I’m getting variances from 1.860”-1.878” Now by my calculations they all...

440 with Schumacher Tri Y headers, Stealth aluminum heads, do you folks run header bolts or studs on the flanges? Inquiring mind wants to know.

Reason for asking is, the 440 source site sells reduced diameter Teflon valve seals in double valve spring applications. Quick web search has a bunch of horror stories on installing these seals. I personally have only installed Viton and had zero problems. Curious to the general consensus of...

Decided to go “old school” with the steelies and torque thrusts. I think it looks much better. Pic 1 is before Pic 2 is after What do you all think?

29* here this morning. That’s sock with the sandals weather! :lol: Seriously, I don’t envy you folks dealing with real weather!

I want to pose a question. Based on the Draggy info below, if I was to put D.O.T. drag radials on the car instead of the Cooper Cobras how much improvement might I expect in my 60’, 1/8, and 1/4 mile times?

Well Christmas came early here. Bit the bullet and picked up a pair of Proform main bodies with annular boosters for my tunnel ram. Looking forward to working through the retuning/learning process on these. Stay tuned, I’ll post updates as I move forward this winter.

Almost “new” Mancini MREAR060 Master cylinder offset adapter. Installed it and decided I really didn’t need it. Never left the garage with it on. Asking $60.00 shipped in the states. PayPal or money order.

Good morning folks. The car: 71 Duster, 440 w/tunnel ram and 2 4bbl's. 727, Dana 60, 3' drop axle in front. Yes a gasser inspired build. It has manual 11" GM style brakes up front (GM metric calipers D154 pads) and 11x2.5" drums in the rear. I'll list the parts I have on the shelf to work...

Hey folks, fellow member @Stephen Hotz is like 50 or so subscribers short of making the No Name Nationals. Let’s help him out, all you have to do is subscribe to his YouTube channel. Too easy to do. Just click the link and hit the subscribe button. :thumbsup...

This is a first for me. The car sat for a few weeks due to having stupid hot weather. Got in it to take a cruise and the brake pedal felt a little soft. Not mushy really but just a little soft. It stopped fine, didn’t feel any different in braking power or effort so I just wrote it off to not...

Let me preface this with, I DO NOT have any problems or issues with my car at this point. This is just a general question on what your process is. When using manifold vacuum for vacuum advance, do you adjust your carb/carbs idle mixture and idle speed with it connected or disconnected? If you...

Ok guys, got my idle, cruise, transition and PV tune really good and smooth. She’s running awesome. Started playing with WOT. Using my Dragy to see approximate 1/4 times and Mph. Here are a couple screen shots. The 13.04 @ 106.56 was a few weeks back with #80 jets in the secondaries...

We were on our way to a coffee and cars when the Duster saw it’s shadow. Guess that’s 6 more weeks for sweatshirts till 10am here in Ca.

Just as the title suggests, has anyone done a split Dominator setup on a tunnel ram for the street successfully?

I saw a statement on a different forum that said: Something to keep in mind....If you're trying to read spark plugs, you're pissing up a rope. Contrary to popular beliefs and arguments, you can have plugs that "look good" from a couple of cylinders with one happy and the other ready to eat...

Hey folks, just going to throw this out there. Posted on a different forum and thought why not here too. I'm looking for some direction in a lean condition at cruise. I suspect it is related to the transition between the end of the transition slots and the beginning of the mains coming on. I...

Went to a local show today put on by a Corvette repair/restoration shop. Never been a huge fan but this one was growing on me, and yes that’s a 426 max wedge.

I know it’s not to everyone’s liking, but IMO it’s still the coolest car in the work parking lot!

Here are a few pics of a random plug I pulled. No particular reason just bored and thought why not.

Ok I understand that there are many variables but I’m looking for an approximate. Let’s say a 440 with stock pan and a total of 5qts including the filter. How much oil is actually in the pan with the engine at say a cruise rpm of 2800?

Where do you stand. Over the years on this forum I’ve concluded that I myself am not a “Mopar guy” per say. I’m a car guy that has a Mopar. I love the hot rodding world where folks can think and do things outside of the box. I can appreciate the work and dedication it takes to do a...

Big shoutout to @CudaChick1968 I finally got a chance to get my velocity stacks on. Leanna powder coated them in a black satin. They look great! Thanks again Leanna! :thumbsup::thankyou:

Hey folks, I have a pair of QA1 upper control arms off of my 71 Duster. Around 3000 miles on them. The only damage is to one boot and a couple of dings from a misplaced hammer strike. Not too bad though. (See pic) These sell new for $349 at Summit. Edited these are the large ball joint arms...

Hey everybody, does anyone have a part # or know where to find a sleeve that can allow you to use Heim joints on a tapered shaft? Saw this in another thread and it raised my curiosity.
