in the past I bowed a hood by pounding it with a sledgehammer (I looked for mine the other day & could not find it). using tinfoil sounds perfect. Pretty sure you have to run a hood & that is not a stupid question. RR

Rusty I would if I could! I wanted to cut out a square in the hood & raise it & stay under the 3" bow limit and I was considering what I saw on utube iirc years ago where a guy cut a garbage can lid in half & welded it to the hood for a scoup & I would weld the whole lid & stay under the 3"...

You're right it is aluminum

I checked & correct the intake cannot be modified. I will get a pic of the air cleaner assy & a side view. a fiberglass hood would be pricey but it for sure would save some weight and you can have a 3" bow in it which if that is available in it would would solve the height problem. RR

actually gutting the hood is allowed but the center area where the air cleaner is has no bracing. I dont remember if the adapter is that stacked type or not, I will check. RR

good info (gotta love utube!). what puzzles me is that the wipers will move & park when you shut em off but they park in the wrong position. I will get after it, thank you. RR

that would definitely save me from having to pull the intake. I will measure the thickness of the current adapter. RR

I haven't figured a way to measure the height of the air cleaner to the hood but it does look minimal. I will check the 8022 to see how much can be milled but I'm thinking it is doable. there is nothing in the rules regarding this & like Smokey Yunick used to say: if it doesn't say you cant then...

I'm just getting started on this. here's a pic

they require a rochester 2bbl & even have specs for the booster height etc. I cant believe the vast # of petty rules they have have for this entry level class for example no scalloped ring gear. they dont give anybody a chance to be creative & gain an advantage but I guess they want everything...

1997 dodge ram van. when engaged the wipers sweep across the windshield back & forth like normal but when you turn em off they park at the far left of their sweep pattern (11 o'clock). any thoughts on what this might be? thank you for your time. RR

thanks bro, that's exactly what I needed to know! RR

actually I have a street dominator & the ports look good but the rules wont allow it. I just now brought home the performer & I'm gonna see how its height compares to the weiand that's on their now and to the iron 2bbl intake I have on the shelf. I need to find out if the iron one is a 360 one...

no hood scoup allowed. Professor how to I ID the better 2bbl iron intake? RR

even with the drop base it is too tall. that weiand intake is TALL, but its ports sure look generous. plus there's the 4bbl to 2bbl adapter plate which it all adds up. RR

63 dart stock car 360 5:57 rear 2bbl rochester. I can use the weiand 8022 "stealth" intake on their now but it is so tall that I cannot close the hood. I'm allowed to use the edelbrock "performer" which is a bit shorter & the IMCA leader said that he would allow me to use the OE iron 2bbl...

its looking like I cannot find knurl ones that are long enough for me to use the (Mrrandy) tie down plate. I may have to forgo that for now (especially since I cant find Mrrandys site to order the plate). RR

Thanks Garrett, all I have to do now is find the ones with the right length. RR

^^^ those may work. I emailed them to see if the length of em will work for me. thank you. RR

I found AMK but could not find an 1/2-20-3"- 8" or longer knurled set. I will call an axle shop, thank you. this is a dirt track car so I do need the best. RR

what is AMK (I will try & google it).

thats good to hear Mike. yes I heard the ubolts do have a lighter torque than you would think for that item. RR

for an 8&3/4. I have a set of ubolts from Mancini that have the flattened side on the inside of the radius but they were not long enough. I just ordered a set of longer ones but they do not have this flattened area, mancini calls it a gripper pattern & said that these will not present a problem...

^^^ good info. RR

for an 8&3/4. the 7 inchers I bought that are in there now have the smoothed radius in the curve which I thought was a plus but are a bit too short & will not let me use Mrrandyj's tie down plate(s) and does anybody know how to contact him?. thank you for your time. RR

I think I ordered em for my 65 dart I had at the time

^^^ that sounds right. I finally saw 9x2&1/4 scribbled on one of the shoes. I will line em up on a backing plate to confirm. thanks guys. RR

yeah they are Mopar shoes & I'll see if I can get my camera figured out. RR EDIT 9x2.5
