    Manual Steering issue..

    Well I got my Demon on the road today and found that the manual steering seems to be a bit lookse. I was able to turn my steering wheel almost a 1/4 to 1/8th turn in either direction before the car responds. It appears to get worse at higher speeds. Is there a way to tighten the manual...

    Installed SS Springs, now the car sits uneven

    I installed the 002 and 003 SS leaf springs form summit and now my rearend does not sit evenly. If you look at the car from the rear it appears that the passenger side is about 1" higher than the drivers side. I verified that the springs were on the correct side (003 is the drivers side spring...

    Dual scoop stud size?

    Does anyone know the size of the OEM dual scoop studs? I recently purchased an original set of scoops on Ebay but they did not come with studs. These hood scoops are Chrysler part number 2949195 and 2949194. It looks like they each have 8 mounting holes.

    SS Spring Problem...

    I got my new SS Springs from Summit and began the installation process. I found that the new front SS spring bushings were too large for the stock front spring hanger bolt (car is a 71 Demon). Has anyone else encountered this problem? Would it be recommended to replace the bushings or drill...

    Silly Timing question

    After manually timing the engine by simply twisiting the distributor, I decided to hook up a timing light and see exactly where the timeing was at. I hooked up the gun to the #1 cylinder. It appears as if the timing is WAY off when I hook the light up. I don't even see the timing mark on the...

One thing I noticed was the transmission seemed to be shifting at wierd times. I installed a new manifold, and holley 4 bbl carb. I am using the stock kickdown linkage...

    Does small bolt pattern = 5x100? [PICS]

    Has anyone tried using a 5x100 rim on a small bolt pattern car? I was playing around in the garage this weekend and tried fitting a 5x100 wheel I had from my wife's old PT Cruiser on my small bolt pattern Demon. The rim fit fine and I was able to bolt it on. Obviousely the offset was off because...

    Starting engine for the first time...oil pressure

    I am ready to start my new 318 for the first time but I am having a few issues with oil pressure. I had everything ready to go and used the starter to turn the engine over, trying to build up oil pressure before starting it. After turning it over for about 1 minute I did not seem to be getting...

    Oil Pan problem (pics)

    I am in the process of putting a new 318 in my 71 Demon. I made the mistake of ordering a rear sump Mopar oil pan. I installed the pan with the engine on the stand (not even thinking to check and see if it would fit in the car). I then put the engine and headers in the car. To put the...
