Just got a quote from Hagerty through my Allstate agent for $40k value on my ‘70 dart/6.4hemi for $622/year. Not bad really. Not incredibly cheap but reasonable. Mike

Thanks man you’ve been very helpful along the way!

Got the call today. Still needs a good detail/wash/wax but that evening light was on point! Also I pulled the inline fuel filter out. It had a return line fitting I blocked off and I suspected some cavitation with it. My fuel regulator on my firewall runs my main return line so didn’t need the...

Thanks. Pretty excited for it to be spring time now! Little weird handing off the car to a friend to finish out interior and glass/door type work but I’m glad I did. He restores cars for a living, and he has about 120 hours into just getting it to this point. Probably would’ve taken me another...

Sorry I left you all hanging. Life got insane there for a bit and I hauled the car to my buddy’s shop I think in August. He started in on it last month and it’s about done. Front and rear glass goes in Monday. The doors and fender alignment on this car was total garbage. Striker in the passenger...

Same for me.

Little more progress Friday. Turns out when I replaced the gasket on the reverse detent plunger that the steel ball fell out and it was only the spring against the reverse lever. I pulled side cover, fished around and found the ball in the bottom with a magnet and got it back in place. Trans...

Pic of the exhaust tips running out the back. This was before the final hangers were installed so they’re actually even height. I used V band flanges on the mufflers in front of the rear axle so it’s an easy system to take out. You can snake them out the back pretty easy then the collectors...

Another update. Had numerous small problems as you always do with a new build. Installed the new 600cc hellcat injectors and things are much better initially. The Holley oil pan just would not seal and kept leaking oil. Not a terrible leak but unacceptable. Changed out the break in oil and...

Here ya go! Obviously just with some exhaust pipe slipped onto the mufflers/collectors but it gives you an idea. Couple technical updates. With the issues I’ve had getting a decent idle and AFR I checked my injectors again and they are for sure NOT OEM injectors and have zero markings on them...

Wish I could post a video on here! Got it running better a bit today and even drive it around the block! Will post more details tomorrow but it was a good day!

That would be incredibly frustrating! I had about 20 mins in the shop today and I put a 12V jumper wire to my alternator and bingo, I’ve got AFR and no cutout on my gauges! Also in my ignition setup screen I changed my cam input to poll on tooth #10 AND changed startup to wait for cam input...

Okay now that I've got some time to go over the manual, talk with a buddy of mine who does tuning, and research some more. Game plan is to attempt to poll the cam sensor. If I can't get cam sync the engine automatically goes into batch injector and wasted spark operation. Not ideal... Looking...

I edited my post above yours to have some more info. You're exactly right on it being a pain. I ended up measuring with calipers the "step" of a 50ms and it equaled right around .050" movement. With that in mind and taking some measurements I ended up with a guestimate of 265-290 steps to...

I HATE guessing lol Turns out I had my idle screw on the throttle valve about 3/4 turn too much and it was causing a high idle. Now that I figured that out, I discovered that my Holley alternator isn't charging. Charging "+" post (one post alternator) is only reading 11.7V while running, which...
