Well I got my Demon on the road today and found that the manual steering seems to be a bit lookse. I was able to turn my steering wheel almost a 1/4 to 1/8th turn in either direction before the car responds. It appears to get worse at higher speeds. Is there a way to tighten the manual...

Thanks! I think they are currently gapped at .045 (this was just a guess when I put them in). I will re-gap them.

I have a silly question, what gap should I set my plugs at on a 318 with a 4bbl Holley carb and original points distributor? I can seem to find this information anywhere..

My plan is to wire a 3 channel amp in the trunk that will power 2 6x9s and 1 sub. I will put the sub in a free standing box in the trunk. The 6x9s I am thinking I will mount to the underside of the rear sill (depending on the mounting pattern I may fab an adapter). I am then going to run a...

I havn't measured the pinion angle, but just from looking at it it seems fine. I have done a bit of work with Jeep drivelines and suspension fab, I assume a-bodys are similar. You would want the pinion to be positive about 5 degrees so when it is under load the pinion will rotate downwards and...

I don't really have a basis for comparrison. I have heard it compared to flowmasters but I am not sure. It is not as loud as glass-packs, but still has a nice powertone when you rev it. I am very happy with the sound.

I installed the Summit full 2 1/2" exhaust kit on my Demon, behind a set of Summit headers. As mentioned above the quality of the kit seemed good, bends were good and the kit fit together well. The Drivers side went in without any problems. I would highly recommend trimming the exhaust pipe by...

Counted the leafs and it appears that both sides have 4 leafs. The passenger side has the smaller bottom leafs offset farther forward I assume this is to counter axle wrap? I guess I will just wait and see how the leafs settle after putting some more miles on them.

I had the same dilemma... Eventually I am going to upgrade my brakes and go with a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern, until then I didn't want to spent too much money on new wheels, so I elected the have the stock steel wheels powdercoated. I dropped them off today so we will se what they look like in a week.

I installed the Summit Racing headers ($99) on my Demon. They were a tite fit but only took a few minutes to put in because the engine was out when I did it. I simply put them in place then lowered the engine into place. I was not able to get the stock starter to fit so I ended up buying a mini...

I will check the spring count when I get home. I did verify the springs were on the correct sides 003 - drivers (left), 002 - passengers (right). I guess it would make sense to have one preloaded more than the other to account for engine torque.. the right side (high side) is the drive wheel.. I...

To clarify...the car is sitting higher on the passenger side. And to clarify my shackles are pointing forward, meaning the bottom of the shackle (spring eyelet side) is forward of the top of the shackle (frame mount)... Thanks...

I installed the 002 and 003 SS leaf springs form summit and now my rearend does not sit evenly. If you look at the car from the rear it appears that the passenger side is about 1" higher than the drivers side. I verified that the springs were on the correct side (003 is the drivers side spring...

Does anyone know the size of the OEM dual scoop studs? I recently purchased an original set of scoops on Ebay but they did not come with studs. These hood scoops are Chrysler part number 2949195 and 2949194. It looks like they each have 8 mounting holes.

Thanks guys! I was hoping I could just drill them out, much easier than buying new bushings. I am going to pick up a couple grade 8 bolts on my way home and will be widening the hole on my drillpress. I was considering flipping my hangers, but first I want to see just how high it puts the...
