    Dougs or TTI Headers?

    How about adding a third header to the poll? Heddman 75109/75110. I got a set of Harold's headers but am reconsidering as I'm now planning on a stroker and need the breathing room. Heddman's look to fit the bill with 1 &3/4 or 1&7/8" primaries and a 3" collector versus the 2&1/2" collector on...

    W2 Blower Manifolds?

    I called Dick Landy a couple of weeks ago looking for a small blower setup only to find out that the business got sold shortly after Mr Landy passed away and that the new owners are no longer in the MOPAR business. Seems like DL now focuses on the VW market only. The lady I spoke with took...

    has anyone mini-tubed 65 barracuda

    Not Barracuda but early A below. http://www.bigblockdart.com/index.php/topic,16744.0.html http://www.angelfire.com/mo2/radrodder/66WheelWells_Tub.html I've looked pretty hard at doing it on my '64 but am concerned about two aspects. 1. I don't want to section or toss the rear seat and 2...

    Deep into winter in Fort Worth which is soon to be in my rearview mirror as I move back to sunny San Diego in a couple of weeks! Hopefully there's still some of that NW swell in the water for a little while. -BirdRockBomb

    Temporary car storage in San Diego needed

    West Coast FABOs, I'm about to commence a move from N. Texas to San Diego courtesy of the USMC and need some help. I'll be arriving in San Diego for a few short days during the week of 18 January and then spending the next few months ('till June) in North Carolina in training. I have an inop...

    Where's Harold?? Spitfire Headers

    Ordered mine in July, got them yesterday: 30 December. Had to hound him pretty hard over the phone and got many promises of "next week" since September.

    Spitfire Headers

    Headers received from Harold yesterday. Look pretty good. Advice offered to those of you who are planning on going this route: DO NOT send him money up front; go COD. From what I've read, the COD orders get delivered much quicker than those that are paid in advance. That being said, they...

    axles

    Probably against the rules to make a post blatantly endorsing a specific manufacturer but check out Strange's axles. Competitively priced, I just got a set of their 30 spline street axles for my 8 & 3/4. I previously had a set of their race axles in a 9" behind a 3300 lb manual tranny 10.90...

    Off the rotisserie and turned into a roller for the impending move from Fort Worth to San Diego. Bunch of quick work on short notice only to be blown apart again after the move. Ah, the trials of life in the USMC! Work done to date: -media blasted top and bottom -frame tied -primed in epoxy...

    Spitfire Headers

    Wedgie, Have thought about calling the BBB and the Chamber of Commerce as well but have held off to date. I'd read about similar challenges dealing with Harold in the past but thought that he had changed his practices. Unfortunately I did not heed the warnings and sent him money up front. I'm...

    Chinese brake drum issue???? HELP!

    That looks like the right drum. But $144.99 per drum!?!?! And that's discounted from a list price of $220.93!

    Chinese brake drum issue???? HELP!

    Reply from Mopar Action: "That raised ring is definitely wrong. The two concentric rings on the inside of all '69 and up steelies should rest flat against the drum, clamping it to the axle flange, with zero-nut torque." also, "Aftermarket brake drums with a raised center lip can't work with...

    Chinese brake drum issue???? HELP!

    6pak2godemon, Same drum. You can see the lip near the axle register hole. NAPA guy told me that Raybestos switched to the Chinese vendor a couple of years ago.

    Chinese brake drum issue???? HELP!

    Short article in Mopar Action earlier this year detailed the problem: said avoid these drums at all cost, but did not offer a solution on where to get the correct drum. I walked through the local pick-a-part today and none of the drums I saw had the lip.

    Chinese brake drum issue???? HELP!

    Gents, I've now ordered drums from Autozone, O'Reilly and NAPA, all were incorrect. The drums that came in had a lip of sorts stamped around the circumfrence of the axle register that is raised maybe an 8th of an inch. This raised lip will not allow my rims to seat against the face of the...

    Spitfire Headers

    Left messages on his answering machine 3 days this week. No returned call yet. I think he's screening his calls and won't pick up now when he sees my caller ID. I'm going to borrow my neighbor's phone tomorrow.

    Spitfire Headers

    Ordered a set from Harold around 20 July. Called him ten days later and he said that they were done being welded up and "would be shipped tomorrow". Called and left a voicemail last week; no reply. Called yesterday and was told that he had welded the beads around the flanges and had to grind...

    rear end relocation

    Wow, Lots of good discussion here. I'll probably go the route of fabbing a spacer out of 1" aluminum stock. Longer studs obviously. Seems like the least intrusive on Ma Mopar engineering. I'll post pictures and comment later. Thank you all for the info.

    rear end relocation

    Posted this on another Mopar site and got no response..... I have a '64 Barracuda that I'm about to put my 8 & 3/4 under. I'd like to move it to the rear by an inch in order to gain tire clearance at the front of the wheel well and 1/4 panel. HD A body springs to be used. Mancini's site...
