You should contact Hemi Denny at HDK suspension. He has built many 67-76 Hemi A-bodies that are top-shelf. His current driver has an all-aluminum powertrain and weighs less than a Duster 340.

No way to haul both cars.

FYI The Op is NOT me! Very similar log on name though.

All of those guys that went to Chicago are a bunch of sick dicks!

At the Nats just a few years ago. Top left - Dave (Weeb), top right - Dan Hausch, Lower left Bout (Mark Boutwell) and bottom right - Denny Laube.

The triangle ties the top of the roll cage to the front and rear suspension. Look at all Butler built A-bodies from that era (Billy the Kid etc). They are all built the same.

Thanks for your patience. At several places in your answers and explanations you use the term "FIELD". "alternator field", "alternator field circuit ", "VR/field circuit", "field terminal", "field wiring", "field current draw", ""full field" test, "temporary field wire". What is this "FIELD"...

Here's a short video of the flash running (Sound UP).

OMG! Is he ok? How fast was he going to crush the 1/4 panel like that?

Too bad times have changed so much...as well as we have gotten older. I see many things that we could have put to good use. Drag radials, Cal Tracs, 512's that can be made to look like a stock 383, Trick Flow cylinder heads etc. etc......

VERY sneaky! I like it!

Spare time? .......Ha Ha Ha Ha

Andy, One of their tricks is to fully rollerize all of the pivot points (bushings) in the suspension system so that when you nail it, it rocks right back and plants itself. Witness the accompanying photo of the Duster on bias plies lifting the front wheels. Supposedly stock 340 runs 10's.

The red was 1965 Mustang Poppy Red.
