I can't seem to keep the alternator/waterpump belt on my car, and I was thinking if this is also why my car felt flat going to 3rd gear. Temp got to 250 degrees at the end of each run as well. My battery also wasn't holding a charge as I trickle charge it all night, and checked it before I went...

Well, it went 10.86@117 today, however it kept slinging the water/alternator pump off on each pass, taking the engine to 250 degrees. Ouch. Also, Six pack hood tried to turn in to a kite, as it is only pinned on 4 corners. I'm done with the mechanical water pump, as the belt just won't stay on...

Well, it finally happened. This squirrel finally found his nut. The Cuda went 10.92@120 last night at Dallas Raceway. My friend Brian Smith helped me immensely. Here is the combo 68 Notch Street car, full interior, w/6 point rollbar. 408 10.8:1 Forged internals SDSS Stage 2 port Eddies...

Could someone please show me some pic's of sealing an AAR products Fiberglass hood to the carb for a true ram air setup? I really appreciate it. Or if anybody has any suggestions or experience with this type of setup? Thanks, Darren

O.K., got the exhaust back on, distributor, carb, everything on the money in regards to engine with the help of some dam smart and great people. Went driving yesterday, WOW, what a ride when timing and fuel are dialed in. So, thought I'd take my buddy for a ride before I went to the track...

At what dumb, stupid mistakes I keep making. O.k., got the distributor springs worked out, and was excited about going to the track. That morning, I replaced all the plugs with new Autolite 5224's, and the night before put one size jet(80's) in the primary side of the carb. It's a QF 750 D.P...

:angry7: Well, I ran at the Mopars at the Motorplex yesterday, and still cannot get into the 11's. I ran 12.105 @ 113MPH. 60' is still 1.85. Plugs looked like I just took them out of the box when new after 2 runs. Fuel pressure on the first run dropped to 3 PSI when I shifted to 3rd gear. I put...

O.k., after everyones advice, here is what I plan on upgrading to from my current Holley 110 gph mechanical fuel pump and 3/8 fuel line. This is my checkout cart from Summit. http://store.summitracing.com/checkout/cart.asp This is to help provide fuel to my Eddy headed 408. Thanks so much...

All right, another million dollar question: Would I benefit by going from my 750 Quick Fuel D.P. to an 850 Quick Fuel D.P.? My 750 came from QF with 74 jets in front and 84 in the rear. Some folks have told me it's at the high end of the spectrum regarding jetting. Here is my combo: 408...

Well, after I fixed the exhaust valve fiasco, she definetely felt stronger. My 60' times went from 2.1 to 1.80. I ran a 7.74 @ 90.24 this time. However, now it seems that the secondary butterflies on my QF 750 D.P. aren't opening up all the way. When I have someone matt the accelerator and I...

Well, I spanked the Bird, but still disappointed in my time. It doesn't launch out of the hole like it should, so where do I start? Here is my combination: 360 Magnum block bores .030 Eagle 4.00 crank Eagle I-beam rods Protru forged pistons chrome moly rings block zero decked Windage...

Took off in 2nd gear and still had some good old firechicken for supper. Firechicken ran 8.6 and Cuda ran 7.8 in 1/8th, me taking off in 2nd gear as well. Even his mom and dad and sister gave him hell. I didn't even know what the hell I was doing. But dam, that Firechicken tastes good...

O.K., I have now less than a month to button everyting up and hand a Firebird his *** at the track. Will anyone give me a suggestion on picking a gear ratio for my new replacement 3rd member? Here is my current combo: 408 Magnum Stock Eddy Heads Speed Pro Forged Pistons Square decked and...

How much of a difference will I notice if I relocate my battery to the trunk of my 68 notchback? I just completed my 408 build with aluminum eddy's, also replacing wiring harness and power to manual(Flaming River) steering box before reinstalling the engine. Does it help that much, or is it just...
