    Freakin' unbelievable!

    My brother sent this to me via e-mail. He is an aeronautical engineer. For those who love numbers, engineers, speed freaks and those who think they have gone too fast at one time or another. This puts Corvette performance in perspective. This article mentions Lingenfelter twin turbo powered...

    Radio reception question

    A question was raised in the Body & Interior section regarding reduced radio reception when using a fiberglass hood. I remember something I heard in the distant past about AM radio needing the steel hood for improving "ground wave" reception. With that in mind, I am considering moving my...

    Dopey question

    This might seem dopey to most of you, but I have never dealt with air conditioning in an old muscle car (or any other car for that matter). I am preparing to pull the 318 from my '68 'Cuda. It has factory air conditioning. Upon reassembly, I plan to use a more modern air conditioner with a...

    Wiring sources

    I have done a number of internet searches for wiring with the original colors and tracers that Mopars had from the factory. I have found nothing, but pre-made wire kits ($$$) and generic wires with basic colors. Because I will be modifying the wiring of my '68 'Cuda on assembly, I have been...

    More accurate gas tank readings

    One thing that has always bothered me about automotive gas tanks and gages is the innacuracy concerning actual volume in the tanks. I know that the tanks are made to fit into various locations, thus having unusual shapes. The standard float sending units cannot differentiate between wide and...

    Steering/K-frame stiffening

    Rich Ehrenberg wrote an article about this new device in the Dec 2011 issue of MOPAR ACTION. He installed the prototype on the Project Savoy car. It is supposed to drastically reduce (or eliminate) K-frame flexing due to the long pittman arm drop. It makes sense to me...

    Have any of you guys built your own engine test stands? I would like to build one for engine break-in and testing. Do you have any wiring and tubing diagrams? How about necessary instruments?

    Long, hard ride

    A woman from New York arrived by train in a remote part of Arizona. She waited and waited for a stage coach to take her to a nearby town. None came. An American Indian on horseback came along and offered her a ride to a nearby town. She climbed up behind him on the horse and they rode off...

    The difference between men and women

    Her Diary: Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends all day. I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it. Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go...

    "H-pipe," X-pipe," or no pipe?

    I know that the factory "H-pipes" were a great improvement over separate dual exhaust pipes. New data seem to indicate that "X-pipes" are an improvement over "H-pipes." However, are these pipes of any benefit over headers with only open headers and mufflers? Do they provide benefit only with...

    MIL-SPEC cannon bulkhead connectors?

    Have any of you guys used, or considered using, MIL-SPEC type cannon bulkhead connectors to replace the factory unit? They come with O-rings and are weather-proof. I am seriously considering replacing my factory unit with something like this.

    Two families moved from Pakistan to America. When they arrived, the two fathers made a bet - in a year's time whichever family had become more American would win. A year later they met again. The first man said, "My son is playing baseball, I had McDonalds for breakfast, and I'm on my way to...

    Theft prevention.

    OK, I know that there is nothing that will truly prevent theft of your vehicle, other than a 24-hour armed guard. I guess the best we can do is slow down the thief or make a big noise to scare him away. I have heard of scummers cruising motel parking lots along interstates with tow trucks...

    Greetings, Gents, This is mainly for DonnieLawson, but is also for general knowledge. The headliner appears original; it disintegrated during removal just like a 43 year old headliner. The previous owner even had a section held together with safety pins. The rod end listed as "purple" is...
