Thanks for the comments. I picked the car up in Calgary... and I already sold the hood, scoops, seats, and rad. I know what you mean about the freeway... I have 4.11 gears and they are totally useless. Right now I'm getting the car ready for the booth. It's dying the shed the two layers of...

I would say 8psi. I like the overlap for the crap idle. This car is just a street toy... My fast car has a turbo... But its an import so you guys wouldn't like it. Thank you for the suggestions.

Alright... just to update I did install the msd system... and contrary to the manual and what it says in the tuning interface, it does read vacuum,,, but it displays the absolute pressure in positive psi which can be confusing... so what they sell as a 30psi sensor is reall -15 to +15 psi. How...

okay hold on here... I am not planning to run 34deg at boost. I can set 34deg for the advance at atmospheric pressure, and then retard the timing as the boost rises. I knew you guys were going to say that... that's why i didn't mention the blower originally. It does do timing based on load, but...

Well I have two setups to choose from. I have not actually installed it yet on this car, but as soon as I can figure out some base timing information I will do that. I can either use the MSD Digital Programmable 6AL-2, which is actually kind of an annoying product really... bought it but might...

Hello... I'm running a programmable ignition in my 340 Dart. Carbs and weighted distributors are somewhat of a mystery to me, so I decided to handle ignition timing electronically, which I can tune accurately. What I need is some baseline information... I'm assuming an idle of 15deg would be...

I also have one of these shifters. For sale if anyone wants it. What are they worth even?

Is that a tape deck or an 8 track? lol... Where do you insert your USB stick?

You think you have it bad... I'm running a 4.10 gear. I think it makes the car slower to be honest.

I think your wheels are EXTREMELY rare... either that or they are actually 5x4. I'm not aware of a single car that takes 5x100 and an offset like you describe.

I'm running this right now... so I can give you first hand experience. The wheels you find in 5x100 are around a 35mm offset, when what these cars should have is around a 15mm offset. The front fit fine... however the bolt pattern is slightly different as others have said... the studs are...

Well I know there was an electric pump option that you could order via the scat pack members mag or something. It looks factory... which means... it looks old. lol

Yes it can be done... and there are kits for it... but the major issue you have it oil flow. Turbos need to drain via gravity, as the oil gets really frothy after spinning at 75,000rpms... there should be ZERO pressure leaving the turbo. Turbo setups run down the line like that have a...

Does this count? lol

as the title reads. I have a 70 swinger, blown with dual 600s... I get the feeling that the stock pump wont handle what I need it to... but who knows. How many ponies can you get out of that stock pump? It has an electric pump... pretty sure it's factory?

Thanks... hey you're in Alberta as well... I'm in Edmonton. Funny thing about that story is that my car was also yellow... not exactly my favorite color on these cars. Thanks for the welcome.

Thanks. That car has an insane amount of custom fab work done to it, particularly with the engine. I actually designed that body kit as well. Here is a complete writeup if you're interested: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2949110

No worries... trust me, I am the last guy you will find bolting on some nasty spoiler. I try to do everything in good taste... but that does still mean my taste. I like my cars to be clean... door handles draw your attention to that point too easily. It should flow nicely without interruption...

Good eye. The blower was installed and the car was re-painted in 1980. I started on polishing the blower... but it is a lot of work.

Two things I care very little about. :snakeman: Thanks for the tip for the bar... I'll check them out.

That comment means that I am from a younger generation from most of the people on here, and in my car culture... big wheels, shaved handles, etc, are king. One of my other cars for instance is a 505hp (dynod) BMW Turbo... it's a totally different type of car... small motor, big turbo, fuel...

Actually.. funny you mention that... I do need to put a roll bar in it. I don't want to do a cage. I picked up some black leather racing seats for the car... they are a Recaro style seat, so they don't look super Japanese or anything. The seats in it now are in pretty rough shape anyways. The...

Whos culture.... yours or mine?

I love the paint... looks great. I'm also going green... but probably a bit more pale. What sort of paint do you have on there?

So basically what you are saying is that because you don't agree with my taste in style, I must not be very smart, and my build is "bad"? What I will say is that your well thought out comments do depict your intelligence. There is not a right way or a wrong way, there are just different...

lol... well in this case it would be more accurate to say that I am going to "Weld it up!!!!!" :-D

I like 20s because I think that they look better. I suppose you would not like the 24s on my truck? There are other advantages... they are more responsive to steering input due to lack of sidewall flex... they will also allow me to install 16" brakes. Sure I want my car to handle good... but...

No I like the twenties. I have 6 vehicles, three with large wheels... I know what they are like. If you like centerlines so much you can buy mine... Small bolt pattern with bias plys on the back.

Yes, you and I share the same reasoning. I definitely do admire survivor cars... but that being said, I wouldn't want one. I want a car that is faster, stops better, and handles better. I want something that I can say... I made that... that's why I bought it. Thanks... that's what I thought...
