Well, I won't have to live with it if the lifters shown by @Oldmanmopar work for LA engines! :thumbsup: Having said that, I have been unable to find any in my on-line searches that look similar. :(

Thanks for the suggestion. I will contact him on Monday Great suggestion - I will check this to make sure. Visually, it looked OK and not too high, but a quick check by running the pump is easy extra insurance. Thank you, and this is what I was looking for. Do you have a manufacturer/ part...

Hi folks. I am a moderator on FBBO, so I'm not over here as much (although I would love to have cool A body one day). For now, I'm asking about my 73 Road Runner with a 340. I figure there may be more small block knowledge here, so hopefully someone can help me out. I need some help from the...

We've had burgers, dogs, meatball sandwiches, pulled pork and more. We had quite a feast last year! :thumbsup:

I hate to say it, but that's pretty much true. But then again, cold beer (or other drinks), good friends and cool cars make it all worth it! :thumbsup:

Sorry - done! I'm used to moderator inbox on FBBO (= no worries)!

Hey, we are up for volunteers! :p (but seriously, we do need to keep this family oriented!) :rolleyes: I don't think I want to sink my teeth into that, even if it is reported to be tasty!!!

Awesome - thank you! This simple act helps make the whole tent and luncheon possible. Without it, we would have to pay for the tent and costs would go way up. I greatly appreciate the support :thumbsup: First, there is absolutely no requirement for anyone to pay for anything. The luncheon is...

I just sent the form in for the FxBO tent, so it is time to start planning the tent activities for this year's event. (July 12, 2024 - July 14, 2024) As a reminder, please list FBBO as your "car club" when registering a car. This helps us get a better tent for all of us to enjoy. (We have been...

2023 Chrysler Nationals FxBO Tent Activities First, the FBBO tent is located at spots ID 75-77 - see map picture below. Friday: Noon to 1PM Bring your own lunch and hang out with other FxBO members. There will be water and beer available to drink - free as long as supplies last. Saturday...

We can certainly add that. In the next couple of days, I will be posting a schedule. I ill also print this and it will be at the tent. If you want, I can add something to it...

While you are waiting to do your clutch, I'd suggest you pull your distributor. Have the mechanical advance checked by an old school speed shop that can run it on a distributor machine. For your engine, I'd say you want the timing to start coming in around 1000 RPM. I will also assume you will...

I couldn't agree more. We spend lots of time talking about cams, heads, cabs, etc., and then just throw a distributor into the engine and run it. The distributor advance curve is critical to a good running engine. The exact same engine can run like a pig or a scared ape, depending on carb and...

I think we have a better location than last year. We are centered so it should be easier for C and E body folks to make their way over - AND we are close to food and bathrooms! Here is a partial map. The tent is in spot M:

With apologies I am WAY behind this year with Carlisle plans. I had to build an engine and then participate in the Hot Rod Power Tour so my time has been taken up doing that. Same as last year, I will be hosting some tent activities. Thanks to your registrations last year, we were the fourth...
