I have used Baer, Wilwood and SSBC with good results. I like the Baer "remaster" master cylinder and it's accompanying proportioning valve the most. Naturally, this is the most expensive solution. Honestly, I set each on in the middle and didn't really feel the need to change the setting...

Wayne Smother of Smothers Supercars in OK owns the car and would know more of the history. The guy that built brown sugar was the creator of Shawanda.

Last I heard the car was repaired with a w9? headed sbm for power.

It's getting near impossible to find old surplus engine machining equipment that hasn't been rode hard. Good luck with the hunt!

Screen can be a huge restriction. The area covered is more than you would think. I like to use a washable filter element. You want 1000cfm/carb to accomodate for maintenance intervals. What is center to center measurement of the carbs? 9.5ish?

A good old fashioned clutch would do the trick : D I have a reman '68 hemi converter if you care to walk on the wild side.

I ran two NTK sensors for three years and burned hundreds of gallons of 110 and 116 leaded fuel. They still work perfect. I also have one summer on my NOS wideband and the instructions state it is compatible with leaded fuels. I have seen a few die on the dyno for but I didnt have any...

We all know you ghost ride the whip Bill! : D

This should be a good nudge to anyone without some form of fire supression in their hotrod. My caged cars have fire systems, which are not prohibitively expensive. I do not know the exact chain of events but my understanding is that it took 45 minutes to extract him from the car. My helper...

RIP to the Z Unit. Nate was a good dude. I didn't realize he was so well known until this happened as I don't follow SO. I saw the Z Unit leave on the bumper up close and personal a few times and it was an intense experience. This was the guy that was always more engrossed in helping fellow...

275/60/15 is usually the true street or DOT hotrod class. A 275 is the equivalent of a 28x11.50 (section width) bias and you might get 9" of tread to plant with a 10" rim. A 10.5 is a 10.5" tread like my black Charger wears, a 29.5x10.5 (tread width) stiff wall. They have a W version that is...

My gts has 235-60-14 DOT bias plys on it in the pics I posted. Hooking an automatic at that power/weight will take some good shocks/suspension tuning but it should not be a major hurdle. If I can hook at no prep with a 4 speed on nitrous the OP should be able to make it happen on a prepped...

Also ask around about driving a ladder bar car on the street until you get honest answers.

I appreciate your support sir!

You could not go race that bomb in good conscious without basically restoring all mechanical systems. The engine looks crusty like it has been outside for a long, long time. The fuel system will need to be freshened, tires replaced, expired belts swapped out and a set of real SFI racing...

If you plan on racing it and any future performance upgrades (you mentioned a bigger rear tire ) you might as well stuff a 6 or 8 point bar in it. I would get a S&W kit good for 10.0 and go have fun.

Every no prep race I have been to had classes and therefore, a tech inspection. I think anyone grossly violating protocol gets tapped on the shoulder for a private discussion.

Looking good! Now you know why the s60 with side adjusters is so darn popular. I have a case spreader which helps, yet it is still a PITA to load the carrier with shims in a stock D60. If you ever see one with a spun race you will be a believer in preload.

..and publicly profess your love for no prep, power adder n/t cars lol Glad you are enjoying a lot of pussy in your retirement! ( I said that 2nd part because all of you were thinking it too lol)

I have a 425ish hp 7.3 gasser in my 2023 f250 service truck. With 4.30 gears and a 10 speed it is stout. A few trucks back I had a v10 triton and it was gutless...4500rpm redline lol. I sure wish they would come out with a big hemi like that for the Ram trucks.

Looking good. The floor and rocker area are definitely stout. Is the car on jackstands?

The QA1 tube K is about 15lbs lighter than a stock BB a body K.

It is understandable why people support small block Chrysler engines. It is not understandable why people support the NFL. Heads look nice!

I am a big fan of the TTI inside/outside coating option. They produce much faster healing 3rd degree burns/cauterized skin. There are times when you cannot get away from using some type of heat sleeve. I have experimented with several types from McMaster-Carr and also various racing oriented...

U bolts on a 1350, no straps

I bought a Strange CM 1350 yoke from Dr. Diff. for the 8-3/4 in my GTS. If you ever plan on using a transmission brake, power adder etc it is a good upgrade. As mentioned it has amachined area for a magnet collar.

Ir depends on what connector you are after. For solderless I prefer the high temp, non coated style that are often referred to as appliance terminal. They are steel unlike the cheaper aluminum versions. They carry them at hardware stores however they tend to be expensive. I will post a...

While electrical work is tedious, you will be happy to have a trouble free electrical system. I have seen more cars die in the lanes that I have going dow the track. Usually a crank, no start condition involving lots of plastic coated crimp connectors, a MSD Digital 6, MSD Blaster 2 coil or a...

As stated in my first post I recommend getting the 100 second model based on my testing.
