    1972 Dodge Colt

    Two steps are legal in all classes, electronics and non electronics, more like a safety device, special on a stick car.

    8 3/4 to Dana 60

    I tried to edit the part for the off set on the axles to read, "same off set for the 10 inch backing plates and center hub as the A-body 8 3/4".

    8 3/4 to Dana 60

    cpearce, On my Dana 60, I have Moser axles and ordered them with the same offset and center hub as the A-Body 8 3/4. I had them drilled with both the 4 inch and 4.5 inch bolt circle and just drilled the 10 inch drums for the LBP. That way the the wheels and tires fit exactly the same as they did...

    @pittsburghracer gone.

    As soon as I went on the FABO site the first thing I always did was click on the Racers forum, and alway clicked on John's threads to see what he was up to or had to say that day. Going to miss him, RIP PBR

    Fun at the Dover Drags Weekend at Lebanon Valley Dragway.....then not so fun!

    Sorry to hear about your troubles Les. I had a decent day at the Dover meet, made it to the semi finals in the 4 spd class. Broke out with a 10.66 on a 10.70 dial. Worst part is I caught the the other car before the 1000 foot let off and was on and off the throttle on the Dart just enough to...

    Rear end advice for racing with a 4 speed

    Put a Dana 60 in it with a good Power Loc sure grip (not a trac Loc diff) and a good set of axles and never worry about it again. I have a Dana out of a 3/4 ton Dodge truck narrowed to fit my Dart, it has the 1/4 inch thick axle tubes (a lot heavier than the car axles) and didn't lose any...

    A Body Suspension Set up

    My first Mcleod Soft-loc clutch was set up by Tim Hyatt, aluminum flywheel, 10" long P.P. with an aluminum pressure ring, 10" disc. When it need to be rebuilt ( after Tim passed away) I sent it off to Black Magic, what a big difference in clutch setups. Tim's clutch was setup with more base and...

    How old are you and how long have you raced

    Hey A Body, I liked the picture of the Mirada you ran back in the 90's, Here are a few pic's of my Mirada I built and ran in the 90's. You didn't see many of these cars made into race cars.

    How old are you and how long have you raced

    I am 70 years old and and went back to stick shift racing in 2001 just to put the excitement back into racing. First time I ran the quarter mile was in 1973 with my 69 Coronet R/T at South Glens Falls Dragway in up state N.Y. First time slip was a 2x2 piece of paper with 14.69 written on it...

    Has anyone had any problems installing this TCI trans shield.

    That's a pre written response that all people that answer phones or tech line questions have to memorise. That way they are not taking responsibility for there products that don't fit or work correctly

    UTG vs DDG

    I'll say, it's a good clutch for a tow vehicle or a performance car that only runs hard compound tires.

    UTG vs DDG

    If you watched the first 2 pass DDG made with the Demon, those are two excellent examples of what the wrong clutch for what you are using it for does. Note: wined it up dump clutch big bog,roll away at almost idle till the RPM's decide to come back up. If you watched DDG's video when he was...

    A few 2-Step questions

    My setup is for a stick car with a micro switch that is activated when the clutch pedal is all the way down( I can't see why this wouldn't work with a brake pedal) So how it works the line lock button and clutch switch, are wired through a toggle switch to two relays that wire into the 2 step...

    1972 Dodge Colt

    Slow down the rate of hit on your ClutchTamer. Keep tightening up the the big knob until you only get about a 1000 to 1200 RPM drop at the hit (just at the point the Clutch starts to grab till it is fully engaged) When you get it right the car should knock at least 5 tenths if not more off your...

    Trailering to a race in freezing temperatures

    ...mid 1980's. Now I will say that my garage is not heated , but it is attached to the house with a room over it so it does get some radiant heat form the house. This morning it was below 0* outside and the garage is 35*, cold but nothing freezing. Hope this helps for your decision on which way...

    Great job Mopar on the big win

    Well we all know what's going to happen next to the FX class, if a Chevy does not top it by the next race. If that was a Chevy in the other lane then the sanction is already in the works.

    I’m guessing this is to slow the Mopars down

    mikedevore, Could you let us know what rule changes NHRA made for the Chevys. I am kind of curious if it was to the same severity as to what NHRA did to the Dodges. A 7.50 chase cert. says to me that a 7.58 class record is legal and a 7.49 needs to be recertified to the next quicker class or...

    I’m guessing this is to slow the Mopars down

    NHRA added 50 pounds to the Dodges a few years back, and when they kept winning, NHRA subtracted 50 pounds from the Chevys and Fords. Which put the Dodges with a 100 pound penalty and I think they did something to there super chargers too,to slow them down at that time.

    I’m guessing this is to slow the Mopars down

    Thanks for the update pittsburghracer, I guess I will have to start paying more attention to that class again.

    I’m guessing this is to slow the Mopars down

    Well I guess I read that one wrong, but even in Factory Stock Dodge hasn't won a race since the second season. Have they? So why would they bother to take more power away from them? Did the Dodges find more power and are now a threat to the Chevys, I do not know because I haven't followed...

    I’m guessing this is to slow the Mopars down

    Well I new that wasn't going to last long, once I saw that Dodge was low qualifier at the first race for the new NHRA class.

    Broken rocker arms two weekends in a row

    I had the same problem with Indy rockers with 600# pressure over the nose springs, lasted about 2 years before they fatigued to the point of snapping in the same area as yours one right after another. Have two friends with big block Chryslers with Harland sharp rockers, back in the 90's with...

    hedman fender well headers #75109 1 3/4"tubes

    When I bought the 75110 Hedman's( 1 7/8" tubes, 3.5" collectors) for my Dart back about 23 years ago. There were 4 sets of these headers being made, 2 for the LA head exhaust port 1 5/8" tubes 3" col. , 1 7/8" tubes 3.5" col. and 2 sets for W2 heads 1 7/8" tubes 3" col. , 2" tubes 3.5" col. and...

    Plug readers: What would you do??

    RustyRatRod , RockinRobin has forgotten one important detail in the spark plugs for the 5.7,6.1 6.4 Hemi. These plugs only fit these engines, they have a 1 inch threaded reach (instead of the 3/4 and 1/2 inch reach of the older Mopar engines) , the 03 to 08 5.7 and 05 to 10 6.1 use a tapered...

    New best so close.....

    Try going up a 1/2 round on each of the 6 adjusters( add static pressure) and see if the 60' get better( if they do ) go up another 1/2 round till the 60' start falling off from wheel spin. Then go back a 1/4 round. Spinning 20' out is probably the suspension and chassis and shock set up more...

    Holley/Proform 50cc pump install

    In your second video, it looks to me like the secondary and primary boosters have a little too much delay in pulling fuel after the blades go wide open. You said the primary bowl float needs to come up higher, and it looked like to me that the secondary float is to low also. Turn the idle up a...

    slick decision

    MoparMcK I run a totally different setup than you do, to tell you the truth I do not like Center force clutches. They are not a good drag race clutch, because in my opinion they hit way to hard and love to break driveline parts and your clutch should be the ware part not a busted up driveline. I...
