    A Bit Confused

    No disrespect meant towards anyone, but I honestly do not understand how the Go Fund Me I started for Tom & Dee and the thread I started here that has over 1300 views, has brought forth the fruit of giving by less than 20 souls. I realize some donated to Tom via paypal, but I have no visibility...

    Tom & Dee

    As most regulars here are aware, Dustermaniac has some serious challenges. It will still be months before he can even begin to think about going back to work. I am not sure if they have been able to get any form of health insurance, and sadly Dee's battle is marginal at best. Over the last year...

    Tragic and unfortunately quite stupid.

    [WANTED] Connectors and wire for splicing

    The wiring to the altenator and the temp sender unit is frayed and brittle on the 69 Dart GTS. I can splice in back near the firewall, but I need good condition wire and connectors for about 2 to 3 feet. No luck on web, so I figure possibly scrap harness is only option. Total of 3 with...

    Air Bleed Alternatives

    So the 340 is running pretty good. But idle seems rich. Not going to try to drill and tap the 4150, so I decided to pop for a quickfuel SS vacuum secondary. Now I can tune easily with removable air bleeds. So now the trial and error begins. And since it is a 4 corner idle circuit, I will...

    Stroker or Not

    Ok the 340 and tranny are coming out. Hooked up with a local builder. Good rap. Experience from stock builds to full race. So the question is. Do I go for a stroker? I am not going to race this car, but nothing wrong with surprising some folks on the street. So if I go stroker, how about...
