I am going Wednesday the 15th. I will email them and see what they say.

Ok good to know. I’m guessing by now I’m probably 300ish hp. Never any wheel hop in any street action. Not sure if that will be changing on a prepped track. We will see.

Yeah would be cool but just not in the cards right now unfortunately.

Springs are less than 2 years old. I’m running the Espo set. I’ve never gotten wheel hop on the street. Have a pinion snubber if that helps at all.

Awesome good to know. Will it affect drivability since it’s a street cruiser?

Brand new track. Flying H in Odessa MO. Good idea. I will reach out to the track and see what they have to say. I don’t have an overflow, driveshaft loop, or open lugs. Thanks for the tips!

Excuse my ignorance, but is this supposed to help with weight transfer/traction? Can they easily be put back on?

Thanks guys. I will go over these items and make sure all is well. I assume I’ll be in the 14s. Would be tickled to flirt with 13s but I just don’t think it has it in it.

Thanks!

Haven’t had my car at the track since 2007. Back then it was basic rebuild 318 with 2.76 gears manifolds, and ran 15.2s. Zero traction issues. Today it’s still the 318 but with ported and bigger valve 302 heads and headers, same .480 lift cam, 2800 stall, and 3.92s. I imagine traction may be a...

Glad to hear it's running and you figured out the melting cam sensors. So what is the plan on preventing that in the future? Also totally wild that someone would put a tracker on your car!

Is it running well? Gotten any good passes since getting the latest issue out of the way?

I believe 1018 is October 2018. Prior owner bought them new, ran them once then dismounted and put them in finished basement. I’ve had them in my garage about a month, realized I’m probably not gonna have time to mess with my car anytime soon, so I’d rather send them out.

Have some M&H Racemaster drag radials up for grabs. 235/60R15. They were ran once on the track and gripped too much for his converter and gears. I bought them off him but am not going to get around to using them. Always stored inside. Super clean. Still have the nibs on them. Asking $325 obo...

LOL have you ran with the new tires yet?

Idles great and looking great, good luck!

I hear ya. Sometimes when I have multiple cars down I'll just cover the old one and do my best to forget it for a few weeks. Or months LOL. Good luck.

Good weekend in the Scamp. Got to see some good friends, hit a car show and cruise, and got to put some miles on the car. Also my car won it’s first trophy in my 18 years of ownership so that was cool. Local kids at the career center judged so I guess they appreciated something different. Black...

Car fired up and running. Lightly ported my intake. Didn’t go as far on the heads as others but did significant work and 3 angle valve job, plus having 1.88/1.60s in them. Headers. Car is an entirely different animal. Runs good and I’m pleased. Thanks for the input everyone.

Well here’s what I ended up doing: I bought some 302 heads that already had 1.88/1.60s in them. I spent about 18 hours porting them after watching videos, especially @MOPAROFFICIAL videos on porting 302s (thanks btw). I did not do quite as much as he did on the videos but I did as much as I was...

Finally got it fired up! Ran into some issues with manifold Fitment. I think these 302 heads may have been milled a little. We wallered (redneck word) out the holes a little and got it to bolt down and seal. Fired it up open headers. Man it was a blast. Did a quick tune and brought it out for...

thanks for the heads up. Never heard that before!

well next time I’m gonna buy 5/8 plugs. Any recommendations?

Nothing received

So I feel stupid guys but I pulled out the rubber from the socket and it slipped right onto the plugs. Now all I need to do is get a 7/8 wrench I can cut down and I can come at the socket from under the pipe!

Yeah this is my first encounter with headers. I’ve ran manifolds the last 15 years but picked up new in box from the 90s Hedman for almost nothing. Now paying the price lol.

Having issue accessing my rear two spark plugs on the driver side to tighten them (5 and 7. I installed headers for the first time, slipped the plugs in and I can’t get a socket in there. It’s 13/16. I don’t think I could even get a wrench in there. Do I need to back the headers out and hope I...

...Man headers are a pain! Had a friend help me on this one. Scratched up the paint a little but not too bad. Zero dents put in! Gotta hook up my 90* oil adapter and wire my starter and I’ll be basically done underneath. Hoping to have the car on the road in the next week or two depending on...

Couple more pics of the results. Looking forward to finding some time to get them back on

A little before and after paint. Got the heads, intake, and bolts painted just as it started to sprinkle. Friend with a Mopar 10 Challenger came over to learn some stuff. He’s new to wrenching so I’m working on roping in another addict lol. Hoping to get my headers installed shortly then will...
