The plugs are on my avatar Demon - 408, 10.5 CR, 251/255@.050 SFT, 850 DP, Super Victor, MSD 6, Autolite 3924 plugs, 5000 stall conv, 4.10 axle, footbrake car. Engine runs ~34 degrees total timing and given the flash stall of 5000 rpm, it's certainly all in when the car leaves! Best so far is...

After moving and finding I need more space (imagine that!), it's time to sell some sets of wheels I've had for probably 30 years. I posted a complete set of 14x6 wheels for sale in another ad while this set consists of (4) 14 x 5-1/2 wheels. This is a complete set of the old Mopar "road...

After moving and finding I need more space (imagine that!), it's time to sell some sets of wheels I've had for probably 30 years. This is a complete set of (4) of the old Mopar "road wheels" that were all cleaned, blasted/wire wheeled on the non bright finish areas, painted with rusty metal...

Got these parts with another batch of parts and don't need them. It's a Moroso electric water pump drive with a bracket, the motor, and both the drive and driven pulleys. It was being used on a big block as it came with a big block aluminum water pump housing but I see no reason it could not...

Cleaning out the garage and found an LA 360 cast crank. So let's move it out! It came out of the engine that turned into my avatar car 408. It appears to be in good condition - no scratches or gouges, etc. Prefer local pickup in SE Michigan as shipping would be a lot!! Priced to sell at...

If you want it, it will require a rebuild. I'd say it's fine for the track but I'd recommend its use on the street only if you have a return line. While it worked, it had no problem maintaining 6 psi at the carb either on the street or at the track but I believe it overheated with with...

I've got here a brand new in the box Speedmaster 727 cast aluminum deep transmission pan. Very nice looking piece - bought it for the avatar car a few years back but never used it so it has to go. It's unmodified and still in the original box (but there is no gasket with it). Speedmaster...

I found this part still lurking in my basement - thought I had gotten it out of here. Here's a dual fuel inlet for a Holley-style 4150 carb. It has the port for a fuel pressure line on the end as shown. It came with a carb I got a few years back and I didn't use it. It appears to be the...

Here's another extended shelf life part I've apparently had for many years. It is a set of Mr Gasket Header Reducers to go from a 3" collector to a 2-1/2" pipe. They've never been used but it looks like some of the paint is starting to fall off due to their extended durability test sitting on...

I've got a Small Block Holley Street Dominator intake manifold that I won't be using so it has to go. I'm guessing I got it somewhere along the way in a stash of used parts many years ago and it's been buried in the basement since then and shows a lot of "shelf" wear to prove it. It appears to...

I have a pair of wheel spacer adapters that have been in a box for years. I believe I got these that came with a car I bought but had already been changed to the big bolt pattern. They are the 5x4" SBP to 5x4.5" BBP adapters. I measure them at roughly 7/8" thick and they are made of aluminum...

Let's hear some expertise from some of you big block guys/gals! This question is about my 440...but it's not in either Demon. It's in my 69 Charger - so not an A-body but I figure this forum will still speak out! The car was a full street car that I raced 30 years ago. Parked it one day when...

So I ordered a part from St Clair Shores, Michigan, on Monday. It's about 45 miles from me and right next to Detroit. Today is Thursday and the part is still not here so I thought I'd check on it. Hmmm...Left St Clair Shores Monday and went to...PITTSBURG????? Only to return to Detroit? And...

I've had an issue sometimes where my avatar car (72 Demon) pulls to the left at the dragstrip when I launch it or when going down the track. After reviewing several videos of the car, you can clearly see the car leaving straight then veering left shortly after. You can also see the tire tracks...

Thought it would be good to have a thread where we can all post our personal bests. I've seen individual threads where people post them but not a centralized one. 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile, whatever...lets see yiur own bests. There should be new bests out there as we work on the cars and impove...

Having an issue with the driver door outside mirror and figured I'm not the first guy to have the issue. It's on my 72 Demon avatar car. The issue is it seems to flop around to an unusable position on hard launches. So you essentially have no outside mirror unless you constantly move it back...

Will someone please define what a "Box" car is and what a "No Box" car is? I assume they both have a transbrake but what makes one a Box and the other a No Box car? If the No Box supposedly does not have a delay box, how is that enforced??? Since I'm just an old-fashioned foot-brakin' 1/4...

Here's another piece I got in a package of old 360's and a 727 that I bought. It's a Rochester Quadrajet 4-bbl carb that I've read was used on some 360's in the 80's although this one appears to be from a GM vehicle. The primaries measure 1-3/8"" and the secondaries are 2-1/4". The linkages...

I have here a crusty set of spool mount brackets for sale. I got these in a bucket of parts that came with a pair of 360's/727 I bought. I do not know exactly what they fit but someone here probably does. (If you know for certain, please respond to help all of us!) The RH and LH marker...

I have a set of used 340 pistons. They came out of a 340 std bore engine. It is the complete set of 8 pistons with the floating pins and circlips (1 circlip was buggered up and needs replaced). These pistons do not show scuffing or other uglies on the skirts. I am not smart enough to tell...

I have for sale a pair of Spartan horns. Got them a long time ago and never needed them so they have to go. One is marked Hi and one is marked Lo. They both have their brackets still attached as shown. I tested them and they both work. Looking to get $45 for the pair plus shipping.

Still working on some details on my 71 Demon 340. This is a 99% stock/original kind of resto car, not a racer (my 72 Demon is for that!). When I got this car in 1984, it had "helper" springs around the rear shocks ("coil-over" shocks) apparently to assist the sagging rear leafs. It's time to...

For sale is a new fuel tank from AMD, p/n 890-1070-4. Bought it new. Primed it w/ self-etch primer, rattle-can painted it medium gray. Never used it other than mock-up so it's never had fuel in it. Comes with the new seal/locking ring as shown. Will feliver/ship in its original box from...

Thought I'd start a thread to share some of the ups and downs as I've "restarted" my little drag racing hobby with my 72 Demon. I bought this car as a roller in the fall of 2019 "sight unseen" out of Texas. It had been a drag car all of its life but had weathered quite well sheltered from the...

The 71 will get its new shoes tomorrow. This time, T/A Radials. But they no longer make the rear 275/60-14's that are on there so the new ones will be 245/60R-14's (the rear rallye rims were widened many years ago - think I had about 1-1/2" put in them). Fronts will be 205/70R-14's. These...

Simple question for you alternator gurus out there...I've searched through many old posts on the topic but don't seem to find the answer to my question. Working on my 71 Demon 340 and installing a new Evans main engine wiring harness. The car has electronic ignition with the blue VR as shown...

I've run into an interesting issue on my 71 Demon 340. This car was purchased new in the Cleveland Ohio area - I've owned it since 1984 and is basically an all stock and original car. So it is not a California emissions car. I bought a new tank for it before I crawled under there and found...

Working on my 71 Demon 340. The exhaust manifold has the heat riser valve but I see no need for it given how this car will be used. But it needs to look right so I want the external round weight to remain intact. I've read about every post on this I could find but have a simple question I...

71 Demon 340 AM radio installation question. The car has the rallye dash. I'm reinstalling my original AM "2-knob" radio. (It was out while I worked on other things in the dash.) I'm questioning what holds it in place in its mounting location. It has the little single metal bent brace that...

Working on my 71 Demon. Does anyone know which orientation the washer foot pump "hognose" grommet goes? When standing at the radiator looking at the grommet, I assume the 2 holes go horizontally but does the larger hole go on the pass or the driver side? The pic below has the grommet with the...
