Knuckle Duster! I run a 410 small block in an Aussie Valiant Charger. I run a 800 carter AVS with a mechanical fuel pump and the standard 5/16 fuel line. It has run 11.3 @ 120mph. I do not have any fueling issues. I installed a air fuel ratio guage and it taught me a lot as it has a 232 degree...

I do not know why all you guys run such low idle vacuum numbers. I have a 360- 410 stroker in my aussie charger. It has a hughes 228-232 roller cam in it with 800 edelbrock carb with RPM air gap manifold. Vacuum is 14 @850 revs and 15 @ 1000revs. Plenty for power brakes to work well. I am...

FCA Australia has a very poor reputation with dealing with customer complaints in Australia! Having said that some of these consumers are also way out there with their complaints, not understanding the mechanical workings of a car. We have a lot of complaints with the ford focus with dual clutch...

Many years ago I had to call an insurance company secretary to book in an assessment. I would only spell the clients name and told the sec if she wanted to have a go at pronouncing it, it was her call. Her name was Mrs Kuntish! Well the sec coughed a few times and said we will leave that one...

Are you shure it is at the oil plate? I had a leak and had to unbolt the headers to get at the remote pipes but after many attempts I suddenly found out it was the valve covers leaking and running down the back of the block and dripping off the oil lines. The alloy covers hit on the inlet...

RGL! I have a 410 small block in my Valiant Charger! It made 355 RWHP on the dyno. It has only a baby 228/232 hydraulic roller cam in it but it easily spins to 6000rpm. It has done 11.7 @117mph and that was before I put bigger valves in the edelbrock head (2.05) That 355 hp was made with only 28...

Buschi you don't need to side step the clutch at 4500. I have A VALIANT CHARGER with 410 small block. When I dump the clutch at about 2500 rpm I can get no better than about a 12.2 ET. It took me a long time to learn that when I dropped the clutch just a little above idle, 1200 rpm it just...

I always use the cork gaskets, I just put the cork gaskets on with some sealer and bolt the manifold down without the intake gaskets just to squash the cork gaskets. I then take the manifold off and put the intake gaskets in place with a small amount of sealer, then put the manifold on and...

Yeah well I am not going to heaven. I am goin to the other place as I have heard that there is no Mopars in heaven since Dodge brought out the Demon!

Yes pana I was there and the track was crap! I only ran 12.5 with a 2.1 sixty foot. I have run 11.7 with a 1.6 sixty foot. If you get your sixty foot down to 1.6 you would run a low twelve. I have invested in some new M/T drag slicks 235/17s and hope to get down my sixty foots to 1.5s so...

Guaranteed for LIFE! Do you know what that means.Your life or mine! When they break that's the end of their life!

These hardtops were just bare body shells imported from the usa minus forward of the firewall. From the firewall rearward only. This is because we were to used the hemi six in these vehicles which is 2 inches longer than the slant six so we have unique front chassis rails from VF on to...
