I found out the if your get one for a parts store there is a 10 amp difference between the manual to automatic Toyota trucks. The automatic being the higher output.

I used the stock 273 Manifolds and TTi Head pipes. They fit pretty well.

I have a 20ft enclosed that ive used for the past 5 years. At the time I was afraid my 1/2 ton truck wouldn't handle much more then that. Should have went with a 24 or 26. That what I'm looking at now. The 20ft does the job for my a body. If I had a bigger car it would be tough.

Sad but it looks like that dream is over. Terris has done a great job with getting Capitol Raceway open again.

@pittsburghracer what do you charge for coaching? I could use a lesson or two.

Putting a lokar kickdown cable on my 65 Barracuda. This is a temporary set up since the car will be getting a manual valve body trans over the winter. My issue is that the cable arm and my aftermarket shifter arm want to be in the same area. Has anyone else run into this? if so what did you do...

My friend had a Torino. It was a very solid 71 Torino GT 351 4barrel Cleveland 4spd Shaker Hood. His was Gold with black interior. You are correct they are pretty rare. I helped him sell it in the late 90's. The guy that bought it said the same thing that he never seen another one. Crazy part...

When my daughter was about 4 or 5 I seen something big laying in the road. As we came up on it I was shocked and said "**** that a f**cken dead bear" and of course she repeated " whats a fu**cken dead bear?"

I would want my first car I tagged ( I owned and sold 4 car before I was 16) 1978 Mustang II Cobra. Only because of the sentimental value. I can say that I regretted selling a 1955 Packard Clipper. Such a cool car and it still sits where I unloaded it almost 12 years ago.

Its a basic 340/904 setup. Runs 11.90-12.30's in the 1/4. In the heat that day we were running 7.70-7.80's. I try not to beat on it too hard in the heat.

The nice part about rain out on Friday was not having to pay to race on Sunday.

Its funny when I have people tell me I'm not running my 340 hard enough. They all know someone who used to bang shift theirs at 8000rpm. I've run mine up to 6800 in real mild weather for a glory timeslip. Most of the time its 5800-6200.

Well, last weekend was fun. Friday we tried to race the Mopar Race at South Mountain. Ended up getting rained out. That wasn't a bad thing since my alternator was dead and we were only running on the battery. Saturday we walked Carlisle. I picked up a couple items and stopped at Autozone for a...
