Those aren't lights! Thats the afterburners!!

Should've kept the damn charger all those years ago. Wouldn't even be having this conversation.

Thanks! And im definitely staying on here. Its not like I've lost interest in mopars.

T-tops definitely make me smile. I've never owned an open top car!

Anytime! Dart was a monster. 3.91 gears from the factory. Poor old corvette only has 3.08, but its more comfortable to drive. Even with manual steering and brakes.

Definitely fun! And when I replaced the headers I didn't have to drain the coolant!

I can't argue about swinger being fun. But I promised when I bought it I would sell it back to that family some day. The guy had money, so its gone.

Thanks. Wasnt really looking for a corvette, but when I drove it, "damn, I shoulda bought one of these years ago!" I went to look at a roadrunner clone. Came home with a chevy. Sorry guys, but I still have my 21 Ram Rebel!

I sold my 70 340, 4 speed swinger to the original owner's grandson and bought a 73 4 speed L82 corvette. Made a bunch of money and love the corvette. I win.

Nope. Wasnt there. I stand corrected.

But I think I was driving a chevelle or a mustang back then. Could have been the R/T SE charger, but man, thats been a long time ago...

Looks like it. I was definitely there that night. I live on the west side of indy, and actually hung out at the Omni hotel bar! Its by the old airport, and I worked for American Trans Air back then.

Going to join that one now also

No doubt! Im staying here for sure! Thats why I asked about the 383-2 on this site and not the B body site.

That's the answer I was looking for! Thanks! I've sold the dart (pending payment) to the original owner's grandson. Looks like I'll have to move to the B Body forum.

What's that supposed to mean, Rob? Im not buying the HP 383. Decoded the fender tag, factory 383-2. Thats why I'm asking on here.

Thanks guys! Im dreaming of power steering and automatic transmissions with cold A/C right now! But I'm dreading a 4 hour drive and maybe be disappointed. The guy is insisting on a phone conversation before I come, just so we can talk about it and avoid any disappointments. Seems like a straight...

Not looking to build a race car. Damn thing still has factory air that blows cold. I just want something thats not the monster my Dart is.

I know I dont have much info, but that's all I've got right now.

The heads are supposedly stock, which would be close chambered 516 or 916 castings if I'm correct. The stock 2 barrel engine was rated at 270hp, 4 barrel at 325hp. It does have dual exhaust now, with factory manifolds. 383-2 was rated 9.2:1 compression, 383-4 was 10.0:1. Fender tag says its a...

Good answer

Im looking at a 383 2 barrel thats in a 67 charger. Seller states that it has a mild cam installed by the previous owner. Its already got a 4 barrel carb on it. I know about the compression difference in the 67 383s. Question is, is this engine worth trying to squeeze more power out of at a...

I had a guy bragging to me at a cruise-in a couple weeks ago that he had a '70 Valiant 340/4speed he was working on. Numbers matching! I said "Oh, a Duster?" He replied with "No, its a valiant, it looks like yours, only a plymouth" I have a '70 340 Swinger. Another random guy showing up at a...

Yeah man, happy birthday! Hope you have (or had) a good one!

I completely agree! Thats the main reason I go. But this show has a $25 entry fee. I got **** you money, so it doesn't matter, but this entry fee is high for this area. Feeling like I need a top 20 for my efforts.

Thanks, Rob. I was hoping you'd give your opinion. I used Son of a Gun to clean them. Just was wondering if I should use tire shine also. Problem solved. And I do go for a good time! I enjoy talking to other car guys. Not sure what this show benefits, because they haven't stated it. Hopefully...

Like I said, im on the fence over this. I like both. But what do you guys imagine the pastor at this church is gonna like? I don't normally care, but with a $25.00 entry fee id like to get something.

Its 4.1 miles straight down the road from my house. THAT'S why I'm going!

Yeah, I get it. But its at a church, probably judged by people that don't know squat about cars. Im not even sure why im going.

Just curious what you guys think. Im on the fence about it.
