Hooray!!

Good luck to you!! (I like that white Dart by you too.) Go get'm!!

Congratulations!! She will have daddy wrapped around her little finger in no time!!

:poke:Dang John....picking on us little guys!! That 440 was built in 1990 and it's last race - yes the very last time it was run - was winning the Heavy ET bracket final at the old defunct Detroit Dragway!. That was back in 1993!! Hasn't been started since but may see some love in the next 12...

Outstanding and congrats John!!

Here, here, here....I have one of those in my Charger's 440! 292/.509 variety.

Congrats to you - what fun you will have! Great car!!

Yes, and the REAL problem is nobody runs all the tests to determine what these old engines really require given all of the mods done to them by each of us!

Pretty darn close on insurance - both home and car. We pay a bit less for home (includes screened pool and detached garage) and will pay a bit more for car (& truck). But I'm in Citrus County - 30 miles s/w of Ocala, 8 miles from the Gulf.

Thx - I get over to Viera near you where my son lives several times a year. Another beautiful area!!

I don't think I necessarily need a colder plug but, if I want to add some spark, it should not hurt it either. I worked for an OEM on engines my whole life. Always target to get the coldest plug that doesn't foul under the worst conditions, be it granny starts and drives or repeated cold...

That's our stompin' grounds - c'mon down!

I'm another Florida newbie but have been coming here for a week at a time for many years. Those weeks have been at all times of the year hence why we knew we would love it! We closed on our new house in Sep 2023. We live in Citrus County, about 90 min north of Tampa. 8 miles inland from the...

No seriously, I'm interested in your rationale for a hotter plug. I try to leave no stones unturned when I'm asking for input.

Forgot to add.... The torque conv slip calculates out to about 6%-7%. This is an 8" ATI TreeMaster converter that I ordered from them after discussing the engine with them. My original target was about 4700 stall but it actually stalls at 5000 (and I'm glad it does!). I shift the car at 6200...

I also appreciate your input as I know you race quite a bit here in Florida. Perhaps one day I'll go over to Orlando Speedworld (think you race there?) instead of Gainesville to check it out. It's a bit over 100 miles which has kept me away so far! As for fuel, you're spot on: I try to go...

Curious why you suggest a hotter plug? If I'm reading the ground strap correctly, I'm fairly tight on timing using pretty much the standard heat range plug as these AR3924 Autolite's compare to the old Champion RJ12YC's (or RC12YC's - you get the point!). The burned clean area goes around the...

Never saw one if these before. 1963. So ugly it was cute!!

The guy that got me started into Mopars 40 years ago was at a theater with his wife watching that movie. When they came out, his 440+6 4-speed Roadrunner was gone, never to be found again!

Well I was just born and then kicked my dad outa the driver seat, drove home pulling a boat, and backed it into the driveway! There ya go!! Now if you want to watch something funny, you could come to my house and watch me try to back my 24' enclosed car hauler into my detached garage. The...

That's a Nope.....

I thought you'd want to see that!! Now the rest of us want to see your gorgeous Demon in that new trailer and at the track making some really fast passes!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Well I just had to go pull the rest of the plugs and then cut one open. All 8 of the ground straps look the same - they are clean from the tip down to around 0.090-0.100 from the thread body (pics don't show it too well hence my measurements). Here's a pic of the one I cut open (happens to be...

Didn't want anyone thinking I wasn't following up. Got some travel in front of me for the next few weeks. Starts with about a 45 mile round trip in the avatar on the streets tomorrow so I'll pull/save a plug or 2 before I do that so I can cut them open. Stay tuned. And thx!!

Calling @wkroncke17

Go, man go!! Git-R-Dun!! It'll all be worth it the 1st time the tree comes down and you drop the hammer!

Good catch! The speedo and tach in the dash are not hooked up so driving without mph too! I have a tach up on top/center of the dash that I use. I'm not good enough to be looking down at the dash when this car leaves the starting line at the track. Heck, all i use even the top tach for is to...

15 miles.

Love those driving pics!
