    I poster here that goes by TinCup modified and early Camaro front lower spoiler to fit his early dart. It looked good. Take a look at his high quality build on this sight. Here is one on an early valiant. I liked TinCup's spoiler more than this one...

    New Rotors....Slotted and Drilled???

    I have heard different opinions about why to have slotted and drilled rotors. One is that the drilled rotors allow more brake cooling. Another is that in the process of braking, a hot gas can develop between the brake pads and rotor and that the drilled holes and/or slots allow the gas to...

    Regulator placement -- EFI setup

    I ran the Accell Gen 7 on one of my projects. I did plan 1a. Pump to rear fuel rail. Crossover at front fuel rails and regulator at rear fuel rail that returned to tank. I had no problems with this set up.

    Early A engine mount brackets painted or not from factory?

    The engine mounts on my 64 Barracuda were not painted. They did have a very slight goldish color (like the varnish on an old carb) on them that came off easily when I scrubbed them with brillo pad. Color could have been from age and oil or could have been some type of rust preventative from...

    Mcleods 5 speed at SEMA and info update

    Interesting... I like the idea of options for overdrive transmissions for Mopars. It looks like the external shift rod would interfere with the upper transmission cross member area on an a body. I am curious to see how the fitment reliabilty play out.
