Bill, while I respect that you are stepping up on the issue now, the fact of the matter remains that I and many others wasted a signficant amount of money buying what we thought was a quality product. I installed mine in the summer of 08 and it was destroyed by the fan within a week. Why did...

Thanks for the tip, I appreciate the suggestion.

Hello all, The handle broke off my trans dipstick today. I have the original 904 in my 67 Barracuda. Does anyone know if there are any more recent models with a matching dipstick that I might be able to find in a salvage yard? I dont want to buy an expensive replacement from Laysons or Year...

I did not notice any cracks in the intake when I looked it over after purchase, but I did not have it inspected for that problem. The only obvious modification was some grinding along the edges of the ports. It did not look substantial, but then again I had no frame of reference. The gasket is...

Thanks, I will check it out further. Good tip C130 Chief.

Hey guys, I am trying to get my 273 running right and am still having problems. I was running a stock 340 intake but recently converted to an Edelbrock LD4B. With the 340 intake my idle vacuum was approximately 15 give or take (Comp XE262H cam). With the LD4B my idle vacuum is approximately 7...

Summit Racing CD ignition is a rebranded Mallory I believe. I was running a Chrysler electronic ignition before. At this point I think I do not need the ballast resistor. The coil gets its power through the Summit ignition and is not otherwise connected to the BR. Thus, there would seem to be no...

I am actually not sure which is why I thought I should ask the experts first.

Thanks for the suggestion.

This thread hasnt been active for a few weeks so I dont feel as bad about hijacking it briefly. I found my Summit CD ignition system was not putting power to my plugs when the starter was engaged. Based upon the diagram and discussion in this thread, Ignition #2 would seem to solve my...

Hello everyone, I want to solicit some advice regarding my ignition system. I had a Summit Racing CD ignition system installed last year. Since that time, the car has run fairly well, but has started differently than before (electronic ignition from 74 Dart). I just learned that my plugs are...

Thanks for the advice. The decision is easy now. I appreciate everyone's input. :salute:

Hey guys, I am looking for some informed advice. My set up is in the signature block below (approx 9 to 1 compression). I find the car has plenty of power when I get on it at 45 or 50 mph, but not surprisingly its lacking off the line. To remedy that situation, I am considering either a new...

I bought a repro shroud last summer. It lasted about 2 weeks before the fan destroyed it. I figured I must have installed it wrong, but it sounds like it probably warped and sagged into the fan. I wish I had know all this last year. I think I bought mine from Mancini too.

Thanks for the help everyone. I received some very enlightening information in this thread and some PMs.
