Holley red pumps are designed for 7psi and do not typically need to be regulated, where the blue pumps are 12 psi and need to be regulated before you catch fire under the hood.:cheers:

That was pretty much what I was getting at, replace the regulator with something other than a holley regulator, I had similar problem when I ran them and everything was great once I ditched the holley regulator(even brand new ones) and went with a little more expensive aeromotive style. I will...

All holley regulators are junk IMO, DAMHIK

Debutedt the car this weekend at the Chrysler Classic in Columbus Ohio this weekend. After getting the converter sorted and replacing a bad MSD 2 step I set a new best in my car of 9.536. Pretty significant considering my previous best at this track was a 9.63. I had run quicker at other...

If you are asking about the heads, they are still usable but it appears as though the rockers were not clearanced enough to not hit the the spring retainer and it has taken out the valve guides. There would be a lot of repair necessary with welding to press new guides in and not leak. At this...

I will assume you have a big bolt pattern axel, but my suggestion if it is a street/strip car would be to go with a 3.55 gear and a 26" tall tire, for your combo it would do really well with a 235/60/15 BFG drag radial and that ratio, should be able to dead hook on grease. I used to run 11.50's...

Spent last weekend at the BGR camp working on the race car a little bit. We also discussed what we will be doing with my engine since the old short block is in need of either being taken .040 over and getting new pistons or making another change. We decided that we would like to get another 360...

Thanks guys, cars old setup with ladder bars was fine for a mid 10 second car, but as soon as this new little engine started hitting a little harder it just was not meant to go 9.50's. One time you launch will be straight, next time hard left, next time to the right, sometimes would yank tires...

It has been decided for consistency purposes that my car go thru a change this off season to update the 30 year old ladder bar setup with an new 4 link rear half. It has changed the stance of the car quite a bit. What do you think? B4 After

WTG, glad to see you got it completed. ANd nothing like taking home some money on the first outing

Yup, you can find the turn signal flasher just to the right side of the ash tray, ought to be able to reach up under there and feel it, really don't even need to bend under there.

I too am upset by the lack of support for American automakers, but only for the reason that we need to support and stimulate our economy in any way possible right now. Having been a mechanic for the last 12 years I can assure you that American cars are not perfect, but they are far from...

Let that be a lesson to you. Make sure you go over 100 mph on a more frequent basis to prevent that build up in the first place. lol8)

If you are able to tighten what you have even with 4 threads it is okay to leave as is. If you are not confident with that many threads then install a heli coil yourself, in aluminum it will be a piece of cake, you already have a guide hole there to keep it straight. No need to give someone...

My TTI's required flattening around the area where the lower leg on the z bar swings. If I would have put more thought into it I think one could cut and weld the center tube of the Z bar , remove 1/4 inch then space the bracket from bell housing over and it would prolly clear.

Thank You, will report tomorrow if the gauge starts working again. Funny thing is; is that is the same spot I put it, but worked in morning and not after I started trimming wires out. Oh well, that is what I get for trying to dress it up.

Which position on the firewall pass through in engine compartment belongs to the temp sender wire? Could someone please post a pic or wiring diagram for a 74 Dart Sport/Duster

I give them respect, cause you just never know what they are packing. I worked on one once in my shop that had a stage three kit and nitrous, I am sure it could rip off 11's with ease if needed. Thanks for the comments guys I love this car as it was a project for a kid from day 1, I have owned...

So, after having my Demon down and out for the last 9 months, I finally got the motor back in today and got to log some miles on it this afternoon. I had to have cylinder #4 sleeved and replace a piston and rod, as well as 1 Exhaust valve, 4 exhaust guides, a valve seat, and valve job. While on...

How much did you know about the transmission you took to them? It is possible that someone was prepping that trans for full race use before you got it and removed the governor. I had this exact thing happen to me several years ago and it was just that. Trans builder had prepped trans for...

Thanks Memike, definitely wanna meet as many people as possible. Prolly will seem like I am barely there. Car was running 9.70's last weekend @3300' altitude while pulling the wheels 1.5-2.0' and carrying them out about 65'. Lots of fun. If the weather does what it says I could see 60's this...

Hey guys, looks like I may be making a Banzai trip there after work on Saturday to race in Super Pro on Sunday. Should arrive to the track around 8:00am Sunday morning. Wish I did not have to work Saturday. It is about 400 miles of travel each direction from Columbus so plenty of Mountain...

Thought i might hang out in the chat for a bit. Anyone wanna join?

I did my first batch at age 16 on a 70 swinger using a piece of household copper pipe hammered flat and held on the back side and a wire feed mig, trick was hitting the hole once and moving down the line and just coming back after the first holes began to cool. Don't think you have to fill the...

Yeah, I am a tech. My speciality at the shop is SAAB, but I get to see some pretty intense machines as we sell and service a whole bunch of European cars. Check out the web site. www.magcars.com

Musta been one of the other 3 remaining then? Pretty Ironic too that I work at a high end dealer that sells ans services Aston Martins. BTW we took delivery of a new DBS today and it is awesome, had a Ferrari 430 Scuderia yesterday that was cool too.

It is a small world, that car was just at my shop a few weeks ago. It never got out of the carrier though. He must a been on the way to see you. It was a green and white carrier and it was on the top shelf. Had a picture wrapped up going with it. The Aston might have came from our location.

Not a big fan of BB or Tunnel Rams, but I would think that 10's should be doable with that combo.

My wife and I on wedding day. Will be 7 years married on June 23rd and she still turns my head even after giving me my second love of my life Oops I mean this love.
