Dyno tests and engine output data needs to include average power not only peak (area under the curve). As well as engine weight, physical engine size, average fuel usage under different loads, octane requirements and other data. Too much weight is given to peak numbers and output per/CID...

Extensions and swivels

I had an Offenhauser 360 degree single plane on a mild 318 for many years. I was great, I replaced it with with an Edlebrock Performer after I did some work to the engine because I had no clue or review of the Offy and thought a dual plane night be an improvement. No notable difference. The Offy...

Everybody wants to see at night but the aimed correctly adjustment is when 2 cars are coming straight at each other on a straight flat road.

No Pam but Dylan Muvaney

Enough to climb a fairly steep grade without downshifting

If you need all these services then a classic car is not for you and will bring on nothing but grief and anxiety. Go to your local new car dealer and pick one off the lot

Fresh paint...Hum wonder how it will look a year or so.

Curious if anyone out there has fabricated an entire replacement? Thought about doing one out of anodized aluminum with a large center LED 3rd brake light.

Maybe all you need is new wheel bearings

Not in a Dart but I put 66 Barracuda dash in my 66 Valiant. I had to trim a little off the Valiant dash frame and make up a new multipin connector. Works great, get the entire dash including the glovebox.

I give it 5 thousand miles

Was everything lined up before you made changes? Is the steering wheel on the column installed correctly? Toe alignment?

The steering box may have more than one set of keys? Move the box to center.

Try to get the disconnected steering box centered, then the column lined up at 12'0clock wiggle and push together

Yes its keyed, clean both ends, grease and a helper. It does take a bit of force to get in place. Don't forget to reinstall the roll pin.

WTF is this tik tock BS now.

Delta cams in Tacoma did one for me going back 10 plus years, was less than 100 bucks. Specs where 450/470 206/209 110 LSA. Very mild, used with non adjustable rockers. Very good results.

Flush the radiator before spending.

You will find if using a non OEM low resistance coil and original resistance ballast will result in an overheated coil. This shows up after extended use on warm days and high RPM use. It will leave you on the side of the road.

Measure the primary coil resistance. Measure the voltage to the coil primary and calulate the ballast resistance needed. NAPA has some ballast resistors values to choose from to get close to 5amps thru the coil primary. Example: 10V to primary coil (some voltage drops thru circuit) ballast...

What coil are you using? You want around 5amps going through the primary winding. Current = voltage /resistance. A "correct" ballast may overheat the coil and leave you on the side of the road.

Let them "experiment"sit back and laugh, critique, take in, turn off, its up to you.

Take this as a learning experience nothing else, stop with the 'should have used'

Yes could not agree more, IMO engines power output should be be measured in area under the curve. A much more real value.

Some parts over time you can count on failing, others not, this is one in the not column of not. Parts failures of this type make me think WTF is going to break next.

Still available? Any other info such as spring rate and arch ?

Recently purchased 2 boxs from Ehrenburg on Ebay. They replaced 90's orange boxs. The cars never ran better.

Make your health and lifestyle more important than your collection.

Check the air gap on the dist. it can cause the key switch problem you described. Don't get to caught up on the voltage drop yet. shoot 3-5 amps draw thru the coil primary. Voltage/resistance =amps. Resistance of primary windings of coil measured with ohm meter (coil disconnected) plus ballast...
