40 years of technology have made cars better. It's not difficult these days to buy a 2011+ Mustang Gt with the Coyote 5.0, install a supercharger, and run high 9s. All while driving to the track with cold ac in a nice quiet comfortable interior. E85 fuel has only made this that much easier...

Battery dropped from 14.5v to 12.5v idling for a few minutes after these reading were taken. I was hesitant to drive it around if it was overcharging.

Changed the voltage regulator out for a R296. Now it's still not charging the battery but my voltage readings at the alternator have changed and the ammeter goes from normal to very high at the slightest increase in rpm. Other bulbs such as cluster & headlights also get brighter with rpm when...

I've posted elsewhere but since it's a Dart thread. 1970 360 / 727. Good for mid to high 12s and a lot of fun cruising around. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QJQBf3SnEs&list=UUj5I0Pyo674HZYspkgb3Vaw&feature=share

Is there supposed to be a grounding wire at the VR or does it just ground to the firewall? Mine was made with a plastic coating but I don't see where a wire would connect. Other than a small corner of the plastic that has peeled off and the bolt holes I'm not seeing how it would be grounded.

Checked the 2 smaller terminals. Both read the same 10.4v Car immediately dies when I remove negative battery terminal.

Thanks for the reply and info. I checked the voltage of the wires going in and out at the regulator with the car running an everything plugged in. One side was slightly lower than the other but both were in the 11.5 - 12v range. From what I could find online this indicated the regulator was...

Grey and black are part of crackedback's wire mod and have voltage when headlights are on. . 2 wires to the right have voltage while car is running. I tested the wire going and and out of the regulator while the car was running and found voltage on both sides. It's loose now but seems...

I go there to read when I want to learn about big power turbo stuff.

Car was operating fine, but now does not charge battery. 3 wires coming off alternator. 2 Have voltage when car is running. 3rd has voltage when lights are on. "Using crackedbacks wiring mod if that makes a difference" 2. Voltage regulator on firewall test ok. 3. Small silver block with...

Great commercial. No problem with removing the rebel flag. It's become more of a symbol of hatred and bigotry than southern pride. Coming from someone in the deep south.

Check out crackedback. I used his kit and the lighting on the 70 Dart is now on par with the new Accord.

I would have thought he would have more drivetrain loss than that.

I wasn't sure if he meant 1500 fwhp or rwhp. If he's hunting 1500rwhp that's around 2k at the flywheel. I don't think anyone has gone that far with a gen III block. You're right about the heads though. 09+ 5.7 heads are cheap and flow around 400cfm.

For the cost of just the R3 block you can pick up a complete gen 3 hemi and build it to hold over 1k to the wheels. Swap it to carb if you don't want to deal with fuel injection It'll bolt up to the same transmission as the 360. The stock unported heads are better than most race heads and...

Headliner and a cage is no problem and looks very nice. Use shields to keep the heat off the headliner if you put the headliner in first. Your choice seems to be decided which is more difficult. Welding a cage in with the headliner in place or placing the headliner with a cage in the way. It...

With great power comes great responsibility. Besides, I believe he said he would be racing at the track. It's easy to run lower boost on the street and just play with it like most of the other members here.

At the track a few months ago. Lined up next to a new camaro SS in my rough looking 70 dart. Spectator on video actually said something along the lines of "Why would you even bring that out here". I got the jump when the light dropped and held the lead through the traps. Felt nice knowing the...

Dynoflow makes a great straight through design. Super quiet when cruising but opens up nicely when you step on the gas. Best of both worlds. Quiet when you want to be quiet louder when you are feeling like being louder.

What you're building has been done quite a few times by magazine builds and guys running modern mopars. If you can't find the info you need pm me and get you going in the right direction. A single 76mm Ebay China turbo will reach those goals. Take it apart when you receive it and make sure you...

I received some info from the seller. Going in my permanent file. Wiseco flat tops, 10.5 compression, Mopar purple shaft cam 517 lift Gold Crane Rockers 1.6 Ratio Limited I know but it's what I have so far.

Potentially a thread I'm very interested in seeing. I feel like this might end up as one of those never updated never happened quite like it was supposed to threads though. JBC426 I'm looking forward to seeing the progress.

Lots of good replied in here. I'll work on getting the particulars. I'd rather keep it than sell it off for $500. It would cost me well over that to replicate it. It's been down the track about 4 times. Other than that it's a weekend street car that sees full throttle about as much as you'd...

I'll see if I can get the motor specifics. I had them stored on a private message, but they got wiped out.

I bought the Dart with a freshly built 360 installed. The Dart ran 12.9 at 104 with this motor in front of a 727 with a 1.9 60'. I plan to drop a new gen Hemi in the car and will be pulling this motor. I really don't know what it's worth. From top to bottom Holley 650cfm with vacuum...

Both of these are common issues with these cars. Coolant Sensor: Remove the wire at the sensor on the intake manifold and ground it to the block. It should peg the gauge. If it does your sensor is the culprit. If it doesn't follow the wire back to the gauge looking for any damage. Fuel Level...

The wife's family is in Alec. Makes for a nice little cruise from BR.

Haven't changed the exhaust gaskets yet. Will work on the exhaust leak and report back. I'm guessing some slop in the valvetrain on the driver side as well. Don't know enough about it to know what adjustment there will be yet. Looks like a learning lesson in the works.

Man I'm sorry for your loss and for the situation you now find yourself in. Unfortunately you are going to have to work through this. Fortunately we are now more aware of PTSD and methods to minimize its impact on us and treat it. This does not have to become a life scar. Short term NOW -...

Its a la360 10.5 compression flat top pistons. I'm looking for the cam specs but it has a healthy chop. 10/30 with zinc
