    3D printed fuel sender gaskets

    Skinny Steelies

    13 sec. 360 for $3,000?

    Maybe. I'm in the 14s with a 380 hp crate motor and no faster no matter what I do

    13 sec. 360 for $3,000?

    Dont be misled like i was. 70 to 72 A bodys are weight friendly. I was very disappointed when my 73 rolled over the scales. 3480 without me and less than 1/2 tank of gas. You also lose around 100 hp through the drivetrain as well. Going to need well over 500 hp to get in the 13s and beyond

    1000 HP NOS Legendary street racer "rare"find banned from the streets

    this car has to be worth the same as the black ghost right? surely, Motortrend is begging to write a story about this spectacular vehicle???? I despise this guy for making this video among other ungodly thoughts. I really hope no one falls for this and pays money for this turd!

    Looking for more pep off the line

    I think he fell into the same hole us novices like myself fall into. 73s are heavy freaking cars. Mine is 3480 without me, 3700 with me. fiberglass hood, aluminum heads, bumper reinforcements removed and no heater box. No other options to remove weight unless I acid dip the car which isn't...

    super stock spring question

    73 Duster, I had around 4 inches clearance. I don't know how you all only gained 1/2 inch. I removed and went -1 cal tracs. Car was RAKED stupidly and I hated it!

    Calvert advised specifically 60 ft lbs. I'm using their u bolts and hardware

    Calvert Springs; not happy

    Update: Calvert sent -1 spring segments as stated above. After install, they do sit lower and will live with the stance for now. The smaller street tires are like new but would like to upgrade to 275 sometime or may leave alone. Pics with smaller street tire and hosiery clearance.

    Which leaf springs to use?

    I just went through and continue in this debacle. Replaced stock with SS and had nearly 5 inches of clearance between the tire and wheel lip, car was JACKED to F n high. Bought Calvert +1 split mono leafs and had same issue. 255 15 tire for street. 275 for track. Under recommendation from...

    Calvert Springs; not happy

    Update: All installed. Clearly, as stated above, the 255 tire allows 4.5 inches clearance. 275 drag radials over 3.5 inches. I'm thinking 2.5 inch lowering block, however, the opinions are diverse. Some say absolutely not, others are running them with the monos with zero problems. Can you...

    Calvert Springs; not happy

    Was hoping to get to the track this year for some fun but only taken the car out 2 times for local shows, its going to stay parked most likely as it's to loud to drive long distances, deafening and headache after trips. 3k at 55mph is not my style and car sounds like it's going to explode. Was...

    Calvert Springs; not happy

    I did use the upper hole. I tried both holes just out of curiosity, zero difference. I agree with the tire size. 275 15 Hoosiers do fill the hole somewhat. Somehow, I have more clearance than the SS springs! This turd still looks like a jacked up 70s rear end and I am not liking it. I am going...

    Calvert Springs; not happy

    Out with the SS Springs and in with Calvert split +1 mono leafs, traction bars, mancini racing front hanger bracket: NOT THRILLED AT ALL. Car is still jacked up as if I changed nothing. See pic of spacing on a 225 60 15 tire. Effin ridiculous. I'm debating on putting the original worn out...

    [SOLD] SS Springs

    I have seen dusters and other A and B bodys where you cant tell they have ss springs. When I posted pics after install, others chimed in on how high theirs was too. Some buy 2 of the same side springs to eliminate the lean. The lean didnt bother me. I couldn't get the shackle geometry correct...

    Rear leaf spring shackle issue

    Thank you. I dont have a manual in my possession. Is it still possible to do this even though there is a locator pin? I have mancini front brackets and I'm thinking they should be loosened to allow the axle to go back?
