The Dynomax Hemi mufflers are extremely quiet and help produce good power with minimal back pressure. A Pontiac guy did a pretty extensive test a few years back on a Le Mans comparing performance between several mufflers via time slips.The Dynomax Hemi jobs were at the top of the list for...

Yep, 5204's are the Super Comps. I replaced some 1& 5/8" Hedmans on my Duster with them; gained .4 seconds with lots of plug wire clearance on 5&7, and easier to change starter. Trade off was having to dump the PS and the Milodon flare out pan. They are great if your mostly dragracing.

Thats probably a good stick, but why buy an off the shelf cam? Its kind of like Torque converters, with proper input you can maximize results. For a few more bucks, get one made up just for your car, elevation, CR, usage, etc. Ive been very happy with the one ground for my 408. Try Mike Ware...

If your on the beginning of the wanting to go faster journey...., you may need to replace that converter a couple times before your satistifed after youve changed gears, then carb, then cam, etc. Besides a little expensive for a good one , they are work to change. Id make the other changes and...

Probably not much over a hundred on a well used stock engine. Mid 70's stock 360's were smog legislated dogs, as were alot of engines then. Stock compression was way down. How many miles? Whats your elevation?. I dont think there is a direct correlation between CR and cylinder pressure, but...

Looks tooo good to pass on. However, I was a little suspicious of the no plates and the GM'd black engine bay. When was the last time someone drove it? Any short comings could be easily overcame if that is an original 4 speed car. Ive used the "double my $" logic several times over our 35...

Since you are planning on new crank and H beam rods, why not?

The SS springs are better suited to dragracing, they work just fine on my 11 second Duster. If your car is mostly street, get the XHD leafs. I ordered a set from Mancini for the 73 Dart we are redoing and they do sit the car up about 1" higher than stock height as advertized . I will be getting...

Coming up from Las Cruces. I'll have my gold 67 GTX in the stock B body class, see ya

Wasting $, dont think you'd notice the difference for the 200 or so $. An Edelbrock Performer is basically for 318's, the Performer RPM has the larger ports for the 360. The AirGap is a fine piece, but I wouldnt dump the LD for it.

Here is a pic of someones original headliner for comparison.

Dantes headliner for our sunroof car, the small ripples are my mistake. Didnt read the sticker on the box advising to remove and unroll upon receipt.

Dantes is it. I can get you a close up pic of mine tomorrow if your interested.

Has anyone here installed one of these, and did it fit perfectly, or did you have to trim it a bit? We purchased one (Dantes) for a sunroof 73 Dart. The only trimming I needed was removing ~ 1/2" around the sunroof opening cutout in the corners. The rest fit O.K.. BE SURE TO REMOVE IT FROM...

Take a sample(glove box lid, etc.) of each to your local Dupont paint store, or who ever the body shops in your area use. They can make up the matching color in a spray can. If your lucky,they have the color chips in store for those years, it would be even easier to pick it out from the book.
