    Just as slow as before mods..

    I bought this Demon with 318 stock everything, 3 spd tranny and weak rear end. I invested over 24K in upgrades and it still drives the same. Tires won't even chirp at takeoff. Would an MSD ignition significantly increase power? What's missing in the recipe? Upgrades below: Rebuilt V8 318...

    What Shift kit you recommend for A518/46RH

    Hi, Fellas. Finally installed a A518 46RH Tranny 4spd with OD on my 71 Demon and really enjoying it, but I feel could use a shift kit and Shifter. I bought a Quicksilver shifter, but don't know what brand and model number shift kit would be good. Ideas? Slightly top end modified 318, 3.73 rear...

    Suspension upgrade?

    Loving my new 727 tranny with OD, but at 75 mph, it gets sketchy coming around turns on the freeway. Steering has no play, but would appreciate stiffer steering. Would a whole kit be warranted?

    Gas cap wont come off

    I recently got the car back (71 Demon) from repair. Drove it about 15 miles days ago and today the gas cap wont turn and feels locked under pressure. Ots a cap with key. Key turns but cap is on tight. Tried channel locks but cap is shaped too roundly for grip and at an angle. Any advice?

    How to stop hot air from engine compartment?

    My car has no factory A/C, the heat is turned to off, and I'm pretty sure there's firewall insulation, yet it feels like lots of heat is passing thru the vents underneath. How can I keep heat from passing thru the vents? Or is it just radiant heat, not air in the vents?

    Who builds reliable race/street engines?

    The 318 in my Demon is a dog. I don't wanna bother with it. My mechanic likes Blue Print Engines, but some old posts from Chevy forums say not that great. I also read about their 408 stroker, but some of the components seem weak. For instance, the mains are two bolt, and the crank is cast, while...

    Gear Vendors or swap to better tranny?

    Hello, fellow Mopar freakazoids. So, the 318 in my 71 Demon has minor perf. upgrades, but am preparing for more. I have a 3 spd 904 Torqueflite and was thinking of adding an GV unit instead of upgrading the tranny. The price for the GV unit is $2850 while a 5 spd performance tranny from...

    New guy with newly purchased 71 Demon, needs help...

    Hey, Fellas. I've been reading your educational posts for some time, and am now a proud owner of a well done 71 Demon. The car is 99% straight, with a 318 motor. The car was originally a 6 cylinder color green, then later beautifully painted PCP. They did a great job restoring this car. No rust...
