I'd like to purchase and indoor only car cover for my 69 dart. Recommendations please

I'd like to toss this out there for input and discussion I run an MSD Billet Dizzy with a 12 degree bushing. 26/28 in at 2500 I don't really see, since the Digital 6 has a 20 degree start retard, why you couldn't lock the dizzy at 34-38 range. The car is light, 4.10 gears and a 260@.050 cam...

I am considering going to fuel injection. I really need a different carb, and in lieu of that price, I am considering FI as an option as well. I am only considering tuneable, multi port injection. So far I have looked at F.A.S.T.. I know Edelbrock offer MPI as well. If you guys have any...

I have TTI 2" in polished ceramic coated. I am upgrading to 2.125 stepped headers as i've crested the 600hp mark, and dyno'd with 2.125 headers. My question is..... Is there a big difference between the ceramic coated and polished? TTI has a set of 2.125" in stock and coated, but not polished...

I can't trap my car anymore with the 4.56's and my new engine so i'm swapping to a 4.10, which should put me through the traps at 124mph @ 6200. I make peak power at 5,900. I'm also swapping in a 4,500 9.5" Coan in place of my Art Carr 3,500, which is way too tight for my new engine. I also make...

NGK seems to have two heat ranges for the 440, a (4) and a (5). They are the XR4 and the XR5. Anyone have any experience with these or any recommendations? Engine is a 440, 602hp 10.5:1, 260@.050, .650, 112LSA, eddy RPm heads

So I finally pulled the trigger on a new convertor. After calling at least 4 places I went with a 9.5" billet Coan. Probably the two biggest reasons I went with them were they were the only one that offered me a 4,500 stall. All of the rest offered me a 4,000 stall. The other reason is they...

Picked up a 1971 Ford F250 Camper Special It has a big block 390, C6, and factory AC.

I am in the process of buying a new TC. Everywhere I called offered me a 4K stall in a 9.5" convertor. THe last place I called offered me a 4,500 stall in an 8" or a 9". I'm wondering which would be better, for what, and why it would be better. Same stall, different diameters. The car is a...

Next year I will be teaching a vocational course for my school district, land transportation and automotive technology. I have proposed a project to build a vintage circle track car and have been approved. What I am looking for is someone that has something for sale, for example ( [SOLD] -...

As I'm wrapping up a frame off restoration, I figured i'd share my experience with this stuff. Summary: It's great! I used it in the wheel wells, the smugglers box (for you guys who know the El Camino's), the interior (floor, rear firewall, front firewall and ceiling). The interior areas got...

A recent thread made me question if I have the correct water pump pulley diameter. There seems to be two sizes available for the big blocks, 6.750" or 5.938" Which would be the desired pulley diameter?

I currently run an MSD Digital 6 and have for 20 years. There is nothing wrong with it, but my father is building a new car and he needs an ignition. He'll pay me half the retail cost of mine and it would allow me to upgrade to a 7 series for a very low cost. Wondering for those of you who have...

440 dart with 6 pack hood. With my new engine combo it is tight, as in, even with a drop base air filter the rear of my air filter just touches the hood. I'm guessing the most common option recommended will be a hemi scoop, but what are my options here to get something that looks good and...

I ponied up and bought one (a Braille) and thought i'd share what I learned and experienced. They weigh vitually nothing. Mine weighs 9lbs, feels like less. They are 100% american made, in florida (the oasis of freedom) and come with a 3 year gurentee and are supposed to last 12-13 years. They...

I came across this. 100-150hp bolt on and you know there is more in the tank with water/meth injection and other supporting mods. https://www.hotrod.com/articles/new-product-spotlight-torqstorms-supercharger-kit-chrysler-slant-six/

This is on a 69 dart GT. I am talking about the rear bumper. There are two center brackets. Each have 2 mounting holes to the body and 2 mounting holes in the bumper. There are two outer brackets that are riveted to the body, one rivet, one bumper bolt. You cannot seem to get to the back of...

My father is building a 440/512 for his new 69 dart. We are looking at running the TF270 or the edelbrock victors. How do these two heads compare? On paper the edelbrock heads seem to have a little more. It looks like the TF270 heads flow 352@.700 Thoughts?

I accidentally launched in 2nd gear the other day at the strip. It actually worked really well and put my ET exactly where is needed to be. I was wondering if this is ok to do or if this would be harmful to the transmission.

Finally got to make passes with the new engine/combo from @IQ52 11.02 at 123mph on street tires, pump gas, full trim, full exhaust. I really need a new convertor and I think that alone will put it in the 10's. Shifting at 6,100 despite it making peak hp at 5900. It liked it so.. NOt...

I have a 440 in my dart with a billet MSD distributor. It has a 950 proform carb on it (4150) It has a set of fully ported 2.20 valved RPM heads on it and a roller cam in the ballpark of 255/260@.050, 112 LSA and .650 I know my old convertor is too tight but this thing isn't 100% happy at idle...

Unsure if this one has been shared yet but it was news to me. Aeromotive now makes factory fuel tanks with in tank pumps. Gen II Stealth Fuel Tank 68-69 Dart – Aeromotive, Inc

I just sold my 1991 Volvo 240 last night. Unsure if I'm happy about that or not, LOVED the car, but I get tired of things and it started having a lot of little bs stuff going on so I sold it for the purchase price. I, like many these days have gotten into the trend of daily driving an older...

My starter has progressively become weaker and weaker and is now at the point where it has left me wondering if I was going to get home. The engine is currently out and just got rebuilt, so now if the time to change it. TTI lists 6 approved starters. Chrysler part no's: R53005984, 56027702AC...

I read a lot about 273's and the guys who build them. The small block heads available have decent power potential, but the 2.02 intake valve (or larger?) is apparently an issue with the 273's...unless you notch the bore. This would seemingly be exasperated by the lift of the intake lobe. Now...

@IQ52 Aside from new bearings and a re-ring it got some upgrades.... 242@.050/ .528 / 112LSA solid flat tappet to a solid roller 252@.050 / .650 / 112LSA OOTB Eddy RPM heads 88cc / Fully ported RPM heads with 2.20 valves 345cfm 84cc Eddy RPM intake / deep ported Victor Timing 16/34 / 18/36...

I met Ryan Martin this weekend. Street Outlaws star and drag racer. Great guy and super nice car. Got his autograph. If you want to see some pictures it's on my instagram (ironmonter78)

As I was working on my latest project over Christmas I started thinking of steel wheels and came across these guys. Detroit Steel Wheel
