    Yawn Dart??? 1968 Hurst hemi proTouring clone

    Sorry i'm probably not being clear. I was asking if a converter can lock up when going bad causing the bog? I always thought a bad converter would slip instead of lock up.

    You think the converter is locking up when I come off the brake?

    Yawn Dart??? 1968 Hurst hemi proTouring clone

    No I don't, However with the trans brake and the pedal on the floor I have no accelerator pump action on the hit. they have already done their thing during the stage.

    After doing a little studying over the weekend I believe whats going on here is it is Dead Hooking the tire. I may need to up my PSI a few and perhaps soften the rear shocks some. We shall see.

    will a 70 and later dash fit in a 68, custom Gauge setup

    That looks great and I think would actually work for my dart. Its a similar shape anyways!

    Yawn Dart??? 1968 Hurst hemi proTouring clone

    I was wondering about the pumps, I'm floorboarding it so I am using all the pump before the hit. I had read it wouldnt matter saint the cart was wide open. I'm not sure what stock jetting is, I think like 71/80 was what came in the carb. Yes I do think more initial timing will help. Wouldnt more...

    I will street drive it in the future after I restore it over the winter but for now its a track only car. Initial is 16 but I can't get my total until I get a better timing light. Yes I know I can tape the balancer just haven't done it yet.

    Yawn Dart??? 1968 Hurst hemi proTouring clone

    Ok just got home. Didn't get to run much tonight so I only managed a few jet changes before my switch running my water pump burnt up. My best was only 13.20 @ 100mph my 60' is killing me (.193). On the trans brake I can stall it up to almost 3000' as soon as a launch it jumps but acts like it...

    Yawn Dart??? 1968 Hurst hemi proTouring clone

    well i'm not ASE master certified mechanic but the car runs better with the 750dp than it did with the 600. only other thing I changed was the intake but they are both good single planes so I doubt its that. Like I said i'll get a baseline with the valve body and collectors and then i'll start...

    Yawn Dart??? 1968 Hurst hemi proTouring clone

    LOL no, I own a 71 valiant 4 door also. this is just a 68 dart post car. .5 in the quarter going to a 750. And I think I still need bigger jets on the main jet. the tape Well I think I like the way it looks but this is from google. According to one of the posters there, the "X" is a tape or...

    Yawn Dart??? 1968 Hurst hemi proTouring clone

    Well I Guess it is time I started a build thread on my 68 dart. Yawn Dart will have to suffice until i come up with something more clever/better. I bought it off Facebook. Was given a timeslip of a 13.55 @101 mph with a 2.02 60' I figured right off based on the 60' there was free/cheap power...

    will a 70 and later dash fit in a 68, custom Gauge setup

    Guys I am wanting to install custom gauges in my 68 dart resto. All the pre made dash inserts are for 70 and up. If I am losing all the original stuff will a custom panel physically fit inside the hole on a 68?

    Different take on Jail Bars

    Well guys I've just about got the 68 dart super stock hood ready for paint. I've taken a little creative liberty with the Jail bars. I know it wont be for everyone. The hood will be semi gloss black and the rods are going to be powdercoated gold. The wingnuts are tig welded to allthread and will...

    360 HP estimate???

    would the intake, carb, and headers I am already running not work? ALso I may go solid lift cam for now since this is a mostly track car.

    need a heads recommendation Compression related.

    Yes the motor is built and in the car. I posted 1/4 mile results in another thread. this thread was just in discussion of what head options were out there I could consider without swapping out pistons. I got some good info on some eddy's and a taller head gasket earlier in the thread I will...

    360 HP estimate???

    I'm considering whether or not to spring for a trans brake valve body or not. My 2600 stall would start to push through the brakes at just over 2k I know if i get a transbrake it "should" stall to it's TRUE flash. Would the trans brake be worth the extra $500 over a regular full manual or should...
