perfect thanks! i wasn't trying to double thread, i did do a search but for some reason did not find much info. Hopefully this helps mark out too.

Im going to have my duel snorkel hood scoop installed and have a few questions. 1st, i was wondering if there is a mounting kit that is sold for these, Ie, a gasket that goes between the scoop and the paint, and fasteners?? If there is such a kit where would i find one? 2nd, I was wondering...

interesting thanks! I have a bit of a gap now and if it decides to hit and make a bunch of noise i think ill just use header wrap on that one spot and see if that will work.. If that doesnt work i may try your idea.

Ya i definitely won't get anymore room then what i have. Hopefully it doesn't touch when running.

YES!!! very good info!! typing on my phone sucks and i was just trying to give basics. This is way better lol

when i said crappy fuel i meant fuel that doesn't have high enough octane (not old gas) When you compress anything even air you create heat. If you have low octane fuel it ignites easier. So putting low octane fuel in a high compression engine isnt good because the fuel lights on its own when it...

well hopefully im right....pre ignition (pinging) is cause by timing. you are making the spark plug light off to soon. Detonation happens without the plug firing. Heat of compression ignites the fuel causing an explosion before the piston is all the way up. If you have to much compression and...

Bit of an update. So i loosened off all the bolts for the mounts and the engine dropped a bit on the one side and gave me a bit of a gap between the header and torsion bar. I made a little wooden wedge and carefully put it between the bar and header pipe then tighten the mount bolts back out. I...

They are to nice to dent!! :banghead:

well i measured the engine location and its in the correct location according to whats on TTI website. Its gonna really suck denting them!!

Ya they definitely were not made with a cooky cutter. Guess ill get my but out there and figure some stuff out. Thanks for all the input guys.

im wondering if its possible to move the mount holes just a tad where they bolt onto the engine. The simple (and sad) plan seems to be to put a dent in it

Thanks, i was worried i would have to do that. It really does suck!

Oh ya, i should have added this. I have not measured engine location yet because im at work but will be doing that tonight. I am just seeing if there in any info in advance. Thanks.

I have a 73 dart, firm feel 1'' bars and tti step headers, with a small block. I put my headers on and went to install the drivers torsion bar and its tight up against #7 pipe. I called TTI and they said that i would have to modify my motor mounts to move my engine over. I have spool mounts so i...
