Quite a bit earlier on the Viper, 1991

I swapped my 68 Barracuda over to power steering. It has been the single best modification behind disk brakes I have done for my driving enjoyment. If you go that way you can eliminate the over boosted feel of Mopar power steering from that era by removing the pressure relief valve from the...

Got the T5, a modified bell housing to bolt it to. Finally found an outfit that sells a box that connects to the speedo sensor on the T5 and will spin the cable to drive the the speedo. The Hemi 4spd throwout bearing will work. Hasn't been a priority to do but this is the year. Now I just have...

You can use any center link as long as you use the same vintage idler arm and pitman arm. The 67 was unique because of the way the idler arm mounted to the K frame. When I swapped from /6 to the 360 in my 68 I used a 73 spool mount k-frame with the 68 idler, center link and pitman. Later when I...

The. 73 Dart I harvested for the disk brakes had 14" steel wheels from the factory. Initially I used a set of 14" big bolt pattern wheels with 235/60-14 ties on all four corners. I latter switched to 15x7 Ralley wheels with 225/60-15 tires, these would rub the front edge of the fender opening...

30 over KB107's $266 at Summit Racing.

This is what used to reside between the fenders of my Cuda.

I think you will be hard pressed to find lifters thst don't oil through the pushrod. If you don't want them to just get push rods that don't have tge oiling hole in the ends.

When the manufacturers were measuring "gross" HP there was no standard test method. The SAE net measurement defined how the test would be done. Net requires all the accessories (water pump, alternator, power steering pump, AC compressor), stock air cleaner, stock fan and stock exhaust. Prior...

I live in south eastern Mass and have driven to both. I prefer the Syracuse Nationals, a lot more cars, a lot more unique cars and if you stay at the host hotel one big party. :)

FWIW, I would like to relay some experiences with the subject title. When I first got my 68 Cuda Coupe I jacked it up with a floor jack under the torsion bar cross member with the drivers door open. When I tried to close the door the latch and striker were off by almost 1/2". That much flex...

I consider the Super Turbo to be reasonably quite , quieter than the Flowmaster 50 series Delta Flo I took off.

Another thing to think about: why do you want to go to the track? If its just to get some times why not get a vector or if you have a smart phone you can down load an app. These devices will give you everything that is on a drag strip time slip. Just find a long stretch of level hiway that is...

When I put headers on my \6 the difference was about 1/4". I got a piece of 1/4" square stock at the local hardware store and made spacers. Never had a leak problem.

Mopar sources their filters from FRAM among others. If you check around the Internet you will see Mopar filters cut open that have the same fiber end caps as FRAM.
