Think it through. Compression makes power and it makes power everywhere. Compression makes the chamber packed tighter. A tighter packed chamber requires less timing. So why not up the compression and unfuck the tune up so you can do it? On pump gas, a 9:1 engine may want 35 total. That same...

Yessir...our local track Milan Dragway has a once a month (Saturday) "Heads-Up" race with about 5-6 different categories ...I'm doing All-Motor which uses NMCA NA10.5 rules. Ima sitting duck but I'm just trying to have fun with some friends and basically use hand-me-down/obsolete parts. There...

My son owns and runs a Red 68 Valiant 100 that was Hot Rod Cover Car way back then and voted one of the most influential Hot Rods of first 50 years of Hot Rod Magazine and invited to be displayed at Peterson Automotive Museum. Perhaps that is the Red Valiant you were thinking about. It is still...

Yea well that's a rabbit hole, and one argueabley worth putting effort into by a magazine or publisher interested in helping hotrodders. Certainly many of us have been on the edge of this or well into this situation (ie screw up) with both street and race setups. It's a rabbit hole because...

The collar is broken?

Awesome job Steph.......:thumbsup:

My understand is that the PCM P/N will not tell you anything. The PCM's all come capable of a no-start security setup, but it isn't until they see a VTSS (or whatever) signal that it is activated. The above is from a 2000 Dakota FSM. In this case, the VTSS setup is enabled in the CTM.

It wasn't a comment. Just a simple question as to what you thought the cost would be going into it. With the amount of work to be done, that'd been one of my first questions. Either way, it turned out great that's for sure. Congrats!

I ran across a tip years ago and saved it. The gist of the tip is that if you turn on the vehicle and then short the CCD or PCI bus wires and then turn it off while it is still shorted, the PCM will stop looking for the VTSS message and start. Assuming the vehicle doesn't have VTSS which would...

I'll look up the part number again and see what else comes up for it. A Google search is what identified the PDC and PCM. It was in a plastic tote that I bought with a manual transmission. Yeah, I'm leary of Facebook groups. There are some knowledgeable guys in the groups. It's pretty easy to...

This is an Old Automobile Cigar Lighter. I don't remember what it came out of, but you know it's old because it has "lighter" spelled out instead of an idiot icon of a cigarette burning. :-) $10.00. Local pickup, or buyer pays shipping

I was hoping to use the 1999 Dakota harness and PCM I already have. Is there a way to see if my PCM has a security feature?

Looks great

Can't wait to see this thing tomorrow!!!

So I'm installing my new timing chain and gears and the cam sprocket is loose and has play against the cam key so I thought maybe the key was too small I took off my old timing chain gear and it fits snug on the cam and key well as a tiny tiny bit of play but nothing like the new one? Should I...

Hey everyone. Well I took today off and finally finished the front seat.

The question was based on that to run more cr than people are generally willing to run eg 12:1 instead of 10:1 that you would have to run less than ideal timing cause of pump gas. (Wasn’t my assertion) Say for 12:1 ideal timing was 33 degrees how much less than ideal timing would you run (for...

Sometimes you just have to say enough is enough

He said to run a steel gear, which I understand is the melonized one. I called 440 Source and they verified that I needed to get the shaft that Hughes Engines sells. I also ordered a standard oil pump. Hopefully it makes enough pressure to satisfy the top of the engine! I'd hate to go too low...

He has nothing and does not work. Just sits around smoking pot while his old lady works at the local gas station. They also get ssi for the 2 kids that were premature. Bitching about how the world is against them

Private messaging work best for this since we aren’t allowed to turn posts into for sale posts.

The brass shavings are likely in the oil filter. If you have a billet roller, you have to run either the brass gear or a composite gear. I think those are your only two choices with a billet core. Did you ask Oregon what the core is? They can grind cams on any core you want, so you need to be sire.

Oh! Great because RRR! Loves Chy-na now the thread will go to all the “great stories” about CHY-na. Okay stop laughing.

I am just a couple hours north of OKC and on way to Chrises. You are welcome here for a overnight stay or whatever you need.

Funny RC plane story :lol: I was riding my Honda Mini Trail around the elementary school right across the street from the house. Had some elevation changes and dirt trails and fun to ride. I see 3 guys messin' with an RC plane on the basketball courts. I gotta see this and get closer and...

Sounds a lot like my first wife and her kids.

Great!…price increases. Not because of Chy-na. Because “somebody” needs to restore ANOTHER car. Lol! Good luck Syleng1

Are you going to be hitting this with some nitrous. I’m guessing the 2835 weight is NA heads up.

Congrats getting that awesome car out for others to see. Very cool!

GOOOOOOD **** !!!!!!!!
