    Earworm of the Day.

    I love "Three Dog Night" (been there, done that, with three gsd's), but that is one of their worst! Love CCR, too. Oh wow, I guess IM the dumbass. That's the song I meant!

    The one that sticks in my head is "You're an asshole!" from you tube videos.

    Stall speed

    My best street converter was a high-stall 340 727 converter that I put in my 440 rr. Stalled around three grand, drove nice, probably because of the 4.10 gear (3700 on the freeway) Best race converter replaced a garbage 4000, with a custom unit built to my car specs, by a small well respected...

    Cheapest way to tow my car- Truck Rental?

    If you haven't got an acceptable tow vehicle (probably 3/4 ton pickup/van, or more), rent a truck and trailer from the same agency. I've heard of people buying a trailer, using it a few times and selling it. Making a profit doing it will be tough. Trailers in Florida should be bunches cheaper...

    I'm glad you didn't say you had swollen nuts.

    Update and a strange situation..

    Skinny wheel spacer on the side that needs it. Billet please, NO cast crap! (Might be hard to find for 5 on 4 ) I'd try JYH's solution first. Looks like you won't find spacers (adapters yes, spacers no, at least not GOOD ones) for 5 on 4, BUT..... spacers for 5 on 100mm are close enough.

    IHRA buys the WDRA What does that mean for the racers?

    Okay, thanks. There sure won't be any pro events at a 330 ft track.

    Nova SS 396 sells for 250,000

    I.remember Roger Huntingtons tests, way WAY back when, said the 325horse 96 was about 20 or 30 down to a 335hp 383 Magnum. Absolutely true. Ratings were manipulated by the big three mercilessly. 360hp 350 in a 70 camaro, 370 for the same motor in a 70 vette. Boss 302, and Z28 302, both rated at...

    Nova SS 396 sells for 250,000

    About a hundred horsepower different animal. Eventually got 12.60s out of a warmed over 325 horse 4sp version, in a 55 B/A hdtp. Big port cars still spanked me.

    Nova SS 396 sells for 250,000

    ... and would get TRAINLENGTHED, by a 375 hp 396. Out of the box, a 383 a-body Cuda was a fifteen second car. A 375 horse was a low 14, high 13 with a good driver, and a 12 second ride on slicks with some gear.

    Nova SS 396 sells for 250,000

    Only the FACTORY never made a 383 anywhere near a 375 horse 96. (Best rating ever was the mythical 343 horse, in 62) So the equally equipped 383 would have to be one that somebody put together. A 383 car could definitely smoke a 325 horse 96, a whole lot weaker animal.
