I have been on a quest for 3 years to get my Dart to run a 6.99 in the 1/8.It started out running low 7.6's then i got it to hook and went to 7.40's ,then i got it jetted right and went to the 7.30's ,then i nailed the shift points etc. I have been stuck in the mid 7.1's since last year (ideal...

Just wanting sum advise here .I sold a third memeber to a fellow member across the country a few months ago.This was a spooled 8.75 chunk that i had made a handfull of low 7 second passes with in my car.The gear ratio was too low for my set up ,so i went back to my old chunk. I made it very...

I just got my 408 stroker in my Dart back together after being down for 2 months.I home ported the W2 heads ,went to double Comp springs (350lbs open),and swapped out the wimp Edelbrock hydraulic cam for an Iskenderian solid flat tappit .Cam specs are .507/.507 lift and 300/300 advertised...

I am near the end of my cam swap and head port job on the 408 stroker in my Bracket car .Heads are bolted on ,cam is installed ,checked the pusrod length ,etc.I am new to Mopars as i am a former Chevy and Ford guy and have few questions for you guys. 1) I installed the dist before i put the...

I clayed the KB quench pistons in my stroker 408 for the new cam and im getting more clearence than i expected .Im getting .204 on the intake and .193 on the exahust.I used an old gasket that is .028 compressed and snugged down 3 head bolts.I set the adjustable rocker at zero lash also (even...

I am in the process of switching my 408 "LA" stroker from a hyd to solid cam .I know im gunna need longer pushrods ,but is the end that sits in the lifter the same ? The old lifters were Edelbrock hyd. and the new ones are Isky Hardenable solids .The contact point in the Isky lifter appears to...

During the winter i decided to upgrade the cam in my Bracket car .I pulled the W2 heads to have the springs set up for the new cam .I also ported them while they were off and figured after 5 seasons a fresh valve job would be a good idea as well.The guy i brought them to for the head work has...

I am in the process of upgrading my cam and w2 heads in my bracket car over the winter.The heads are currently at the machine shop for a valve job and to set up the valve spring heights.The cam i installed is an Iskenderian solid flat tappit and the springs they recomended call for 150 seat...

Please dont laugh as im new to Mopars ,but i have a dumb question.I am in the process of upgrading the cam and heads on my 360 stroker.Yesterday i installed the new cam ,chain ,and front cover.Today i was thinking about what i did yesterday and started wandering about the oil hole drilled bolt...

I just switched my small block from a hyd to a solid flat tappit cam ,and i am looking for a set of pushrods for it.They are Ball /Cup style as i have Harland Sharp adjustable roller rockers .Still waiting on the heads to be done ,but thought i would try and round up all the stuff im gunna...

Switching to a bigger cam in my Bracket car ,so i no longer need this one.Its an Edelbrock Performer RPM hydraulic flat tappit for an "LA" small block.The specs are .484/.510 lift and 234/244 duration @50 witha 112 lobe sepration.This is an awesome street strip cam IMO with a great sound and...

Tore my 408 down today for the switch from a hyd to a solid flat tappit cam.When i pulled the roller rocker shaft assemblies i noticed a retainer on the right side had a funny angle to it.Upon a quick glance i noticed it was missing a keeper .I have spun this motor to 6000 many times on the...

Anyone here ever added collector extensions and actually lowered their ET ? As im running out of cheap ideas to make up the last tenth i need for a 6 second slip i made these yesterday .I have read lots of tech articles about lowend torque gains on dyno pulls ,but has anyone really seen anything...

I bought this chunk a few years ago to try the ratio and it was too low for my combo ,so i pulled it out ,cleaned it up ,and put it away.It was a fresh rebuilt unit when i bought it and i only made about 10 low seven second passes with it ,so i would say its still in great shape .Its the...

Heard about a local drag event as part of a car show ,so i gave it a whirl .I have raced on many tracks but this was the first time i ever drag raced on an old Airport Runway.Traction was none existant and i must tell you it was a butt puckerer trying to keep my Dodge going straight feathering...

Went down to Temple Texas this weekend for the Day Of The Drags as i do every year.As usual i was the only Small Block Mopar and the only Early Dart running in a sea of Bowtie powered coupes and Tri-5's.I put lots on the trailer but fell asleep at the light and blew it in the 4th round.I also...

I have both 1/4 glasses from my 64 Dart 270 2 door sedan as well as the the regulators and handles (i went to lexan for my race car).The regulators are perfect and the glasses are pretty decent (real decent if you dont have any).I will take $45.00 for it all + shipping.I am in Sherman Texas...

This was professionally setup about 20 passes ago.Its the "742" case with 4.86 Richmond gears and a 35 spline spool.I bought this just to try and its a little too low for my combo ,so im going back to my other chunk.Wear pattern looks great on the ring/pinion and has no street miles.Bolt in ,add...

Went over to the track in Paris Texas for a little TNT last night.Its the first time i have ever raced there and although the people there were very friendly the traction was awfull .It was the worst racing conditions i have ever faced.I was spinning atleast 10 feet every pass off the line...

I recently installed a 2 step box for the Tbrake on my Dart .I tried it last Saturday at the track and the Dart hated it.Every time i would launch it would bog ,then clear up and go.I tried pills from 3200 -4000 and everytime it was the same thing.I ended up putting a 7000 pill in it so it...

Had a great day of racing at the Whitewalls and Drags Nostalgtia event in Ardmore Oklahoma yesterday.I had a new best with the Dart ,but at the worst time.I broke out in the first round of bracket eleminations .Its stuck a great 1.54 60' and i knew it was gunna be to much ,so i tried to short...

Can anyone tell me what ratio these Harlan Sharp rockers are ?I dont see anything stamped on them. Also ,these are Econo W2 heads ,but can anyone tell from the pics about which vintage they are ? Do these look like stock pushrods ? The springs appear to be double springs.Im kinda new to Mopars...

Well i finally got a chance to test out the Dart on the track last night after the gear swap.I changed out the 4.10's for sum 4.86's .Im making it an 1/8 mile car.The 1.76 low gear in the Powerglide was killing it off the line with the 4.10's.My best ET was a 7.27 @ 94 with a 1.60 60' (launching...

Heres a few vids my wife took yesterday at the Texas Thaw Nostalgia event at Northstar Drag strip in Denton Texas.I finally got the gutts to use the transbrake on the launch .I figured if it breaks it breaks.It didnt break ,but it did manage to pop the front tires up a few inches when i dropped...

Anyone every have success with Lift/Slapper bars on early A bodies?The reason i ask is because my Dart sqauts on the launch ,instead of lifts in the rear.The car is 60 footing pretty well at 1.63 on the foobrake ,but a freind noticed that the stock springs are rolling pretty badly in the...

I am having a blast with my oldschool Dart ,but i am always wanting more mph and ET .Does anyone see anything that could be better performance wise? I am not talking about cosmetic ,mainly because it wont help it go faster and i kinda like the patina on it ,for the nostalgia racing events that i...

My question is how fast are you going with a stock leaf setup? My Dart is running 7.50's in the 1/8 on 8.5 slicks.Am i getting near the limit ? I have no Caltracs ,slapper bars ,SS springs ,etc ,just stock worn springs with the front portions clamped together.It never has wheel hopped yet and my...

Do Velocity stacks really do much? I know they look cool and Nostalgic ,which was the main reason i put one on my Dodge ,but has anyone ever dynoed a motor with and without one and seen a difference in power?I also added an old school redplexi scoop in an effort to try and get cooler air moving...

Hello ,i just registered and i am kinda new to the Mopar thing .I recently aquired a 64 Dart Nostalgia drag car with a 408 and im having a blast with it .I hope my Dart and i fit in ...
