    NHRA Winners web site

    Hi all.....been a while... About 3 years ago I started this project - now at the half way point. NHRA has never published or compiled a list of the Top Stock, Stock and Class winners for the 1960s.....in fact, when I saw their web site refer to Jenkins 65 win in a ‘Dodge’.....I got mad So in...

    Mission accomplished

    When I first dropped a Gen3 with carbs into my A Body..I had a goal of a streetable high 11 sec car. Last night I achieved that goal....after a long journey of defective intake manifolds and poor carb choices. You CAN make good power with a carbed Gen 3.... But you need to choose your cam and...

    Diff gears - recommended brands?

    Looks like I may have to swap my diff gears out after a recent change - theyre just whining far too much even though the lap patterns were excellent and a new install kit and appropriate backlash was set up.. Id like to know which brands are considered to be better quality gear sets...a lot...

    Notes on Eddy dual quad vs Modman

    Ok...first notes: Tuning. Idle was about the same AF - with similar vacuum of around 18" Cruise needed to be leaned out one step on the rods Primaries power stage needing leaning one step on the rods Secondary jets needed leaning one or two stages - will depend on weather (082 to...

    Milodon pan question

    Just read on another forum - apparently the Milodon pan flange blocks off half the return oil galleries ? I didnt notice any such thing with mine - but I wasnt checking - can anyone confirm or clarify?

    A pat on the back for you guys...

    I have no intention of starting a board war... but as a web "veteran" of Mopar boards for over 14 years...I just thought I'd say the new Hemi Swaps board comes across as one of the most reasonable and considered boards I've ever posted on. There is some real 'tude on some of the other...

    Intake Gasket advice

    I read somewhere that you cant use factory intake gaskets with aftermarket carb intakes - Or have I got the story wrong? Something about them dissolving?

    A camshaft essay.

    OK...I got peeved because I was sick of reading people canning the idea of carb induction ...so this is my little "eye opener" for all those EFI guys running aftermarket cams... When I installed my Inertia SRT Max Plus cam...I was surprised to see it installed on a 114 ICL...when the Crower...

    Quick gauge question

    Probably not the best place for me to post this - but maybe Joe Dokes or someone will know... I want to test my aftermarket Ampmeter in isolation using a multi meter Is there any way to do it using ohms resistance measurment to see if its reading current as well as just passing voltage...

    Magazine article needed - Hot Rod April 1972

    Called "Keith Blacks Mini-Mopar magic". Kind of hoping someone on this board might have a scanned copy of it? It goes into high detail about his Trans Am de-stroked engines - including a lot of detail on the wrist pin work and general blue printing he did to make them survive. If anyone...

    Line pressure regulation..

    What part of the 727 regulates the line pressure from the main pressure of 145 psi in my RMVB 727 down to the trans cooler line pressure f about 40psi?

    Non factory cam upgrades?

    Wondering if anyone has made the swap from the SRT MAX to another grind and what improvement you saw (if any)? Or Vica Versa. Im especially interested in cars that are running factory slugs and unported heads.....so we're talking about differences at the less radical end of the scale...

    Qtr mile or ENGINE dyno results

    Id like to see some retro fitted qtr mile ETs, MPH and build posts Or - if you've engine dynoed your motor - the build and HP output. NO chassis dyno stuff please - it'll corrupt the data and de-rail the exercise :) I'll start - 112mph @ 3650 lbs - 6.1 Modman with single 800...

    Modman Maniac!

    B4 I get to the guts of it - I should say that I m a very practiced tuner of Edelbrock/Carter carbs ..and Holleys don't present much of an issue when tuning for WOT HP. I say this is because this post is not a cry for help- its simply about the cycle of tuning I've been going through wit this...

    Another valve spring question...

    The following are the installed heights as per the factory manual of the intake and exhaust 6.1 valve springs - Intake (1.870 in.) Exhaust (1.772 in.) Now as has already been stated by myself and others on this forum - the general opinion amongst "Tuners" and Re-Sellers is that PSI LS1511ML...

    URGENT - Need valve spring specs

    To be exact - I need the ID of the big end of the factory 6.1 spring. Im researching different valve spring options that will just " drop in" I know the PSI 1511 will, but Ive come across a PAC with similar specs but need to know the ID at the big end of a factory 6.1 spring or the PSI...

    third time at track...OK but.........

    ..I only had 4/5ths full throttle! So it was all a bit of a waste of time.. EXCEPT - the ProSystems Holley double pumper completely fixed the lean out at WOT. Since these runs Ive : - Fixed the cable "throw" so I'm getting WOT - Swapped the pump diaphragms around..which reduced my 0-60 by...

    MSD timing vs Vac readings questions

    This question is in part a response to Rockinrobin's question. Heres the results of my vac Gauge testing - Scenario 1 - My motor draws 16" of vacuum (makes 6.84 PSIa man pressure) at 850 rpm - idle - so my timing is 16 static plus 12 MAP = 28 Scenario 2 - It draws 20" (makes 4.88...

    2nd time at the track - getting better....

    Finally got the car MPH ing close to where it should be - which at least proves the Modman is not killing the motor. Just gotta focus on more carb and pump shot now. Started out at 109.5 mph Leaned one stage - 106 mph!! Fattened two stages - 110.5 mph (a PB) Let the motor cool for an...

    First track run - less than exciting....

    Basically I can sum it up like this....the Modman intake SUCKS with a Vac sec carb Here's the beans..... The problem only occurrs when I flat nail the pedal to the floor...a quick progressive press shows no issue. Now Ive been tuning AFB and Thermoquad carbs for 30 years...so I know what Im...

    MSD 6013 - Trap for players -

    Kudos to Swifter for confirming on the dyno what I guessed..... The MSD 6013 is set up with a MAP graph from "factory" that actually pulls timing out of the RPM curve above 11 PSIa. Ive been told they set it up like this so that people won't detonate their motors at high RPM/High Manifold...

    Best sized carb for 6.1

    Thinking on swapping out he Modman to a short runner drag pak intake next year.:sign7: Wondering if my 800 Thunder will still deliver or if I need to consider something bigger? Stick is only a mild crower grind 218@.50 / .565 on the intake...... heads untouched. Thoughts?:-k
