Did you try increasing your idle speed? Could just be that your engine was idling too low. Try setting your idle speed at 800-900 rpm while someone holds the brake and has the transmission in drive.

DO NOT buy a Zirgo fan! I put one on my radiator, ran great for 5 miles, then came apart and put a hole in my radiator. After a month of back and forth they agreed to refund me for the fan and shipping, but still slow-rolling me (6+ months) on any compensation for the radiator. The company...

I would get a vintage air kit. Call them up and ask what they suggest - probably a universal street rod kit. You can get their systems cheaper by going through one of their dealers. I don't know about finding compressor mounting kits for your current motor, but I know they're out there for the...

I put one on a couple weeks ago. Got the alternator and brackets and pigtail in a kit for around $200 from Mancini. It's awesome. I can now idle at 800 rpm with the electric fuel pump, stereo, headlights, A/C on high and electric fan and it's still charging. My old alternator wouldn't charge...

Here's a link to my Hot Rod Air setup. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=85073 They are out of business as far as I know, but the engine mount brackets are the same ones that vintage air uses. I just got a street rod kit (universal) and the brackets for a 360. I used...

Yeah - get a set of drag radials and heat them up real nice. Look in the performance section of the forum at my thread titled "get my car to launch better..." you can follow my traction solutions.

Joe - do they make a 4 vent evap box? I pit in a 4 vent unit and it barely fit. You can read my link above if you want. I'd go with the biggest evap you can fit- you'd hate to not have a powerful enough system after you finish up the install.

I'm currently putting in a denso conversion kit I bought from Mancini Racing. Supposed to put out a lot more amps at idle. I think your turn signal issue is something not related to your alternator.

Here's a link where my pictures for the hotrodair system I installed. Hot Rod Air isn't currently in business as far as I know. If I had it to do over I'd put a vintage air street rod (universal) kit. My engine brackets are basically the same as vintage would give you. I ended up spending...

if you have a hurst shifter you could try loosening the bolts that limit how far your shifter can throw. also check that you had your shifter locked in neutral (put a drillbit in the hole) before you adjusted and hooked up the linkage. you could also adjust the linkage so that you are pushing...

If you go to www.mcleodracing.com and look in the forums there are guys asking McLeod when the tranny is going to be done. According to Paul Lee, the president of McLeod, "I would say as of today, we are looking at late summer for release". He said that on April 6. I'm betting no earlier...

You need to get a timing light. If you don't want to spring for an adjustable one you can get a damper timing tape to tell how many degrees advanced your timing is at different rpms. Try unplugging your vacuum advance and checking what your timing is at 4k rpm. For a ballpark number it should...

Yeah, I just installed one of those champion radiators in my demon. Do yourself a favor and call Jeremy at Monster Cooling (phone 949-521-4376), he's one of those ebay sellers for those radiators. It was basically the same size as my stock radiator but the bolt holes didn't line up so I had to...

Here's some pictures. The one of the engine bay shows the wires coming from the mallory unit behind the firewall. I also have a 12V starter cable and 12V power cable coming through there since I moved the battery to the trunk. I left the ballast resistor and ignition box in place so I can...

Here's an update from my last post. I moved the battery to the trunk, drag shocks front and rear, installed a mallory hyfire with 2 step limiter and a line lock. While going down the strip, I was unable to keep the throttle to the floor the entire time, since I ended up having problems...
