    New Edelbrock intake quality issues

    Would it work on Edel. aluminum magnum heads? I'll be honest as I have not done any research on it yet. I was saving up for an Eddy Air-gap manifold for the magnum. I guess I'll have to look into it.

    New Edelbrock intake quality issues

    Yeah, I'm half tempted to take one of my old 15 yr old LA Weaind or Edelbrock intakes and see if I can modify them to fit the Magnum blocks for my stroker. Probably not very cost effective... :rolleyes:

    Cams for Dummies ??

    PAW... Now that brings back some memories! My father would get those 3 inch thick catalogs often, And me being in High school would always look through them and just dream. Now, I just browse Summit, Mancini, FABO classifieds and Ebay for car parts. And when I do order the parts I try to...

    Latest 1974 duster vin

    10/73, mine is as well: That means the ole' girl is turning 50. I've also put this dealership tag back on my Duster, in 1973 Reed Miller sold his dealership so it is possible that I got one of the last Dusters sold from his lot. (I picked up my car from Fruita CO. in 2012) This tag was in one...

    Thanks for the Tip about discounted Classic Wiring poster

    Ahh... So simple. The wiring that is. I tried helping my buddy troubleshoot the wiring/electrical issues on his 2015 Cadillac once... Never again. *shudders*

    Del is tempted............

    I say do it... I don't know what it is with these trucks from the 70's and 80's. I just like em'. My first car was a 1984 Dodge Ramcharger. The most favorite one I had was a 1983 long bed, I also had a 1988 Longbed as well. I sure do miss the 1983 I had, the damn thing was sure fun with the...

    4 door mopar cars

    Jeez, heck even nowadays 12's is decently quick. I'm sure with better tires and a bit more finaglin' with newer stuff available he can easily get it in the 11's if it's still around,

    4 door mopar cars

    Funny, I do remember sitting in a rear facing station wagon seat in the early 80's in Idaho. It was after a church function right outside of Mountain Home AFB Idaho, and the car was filled to the brim with kids like myself ages 6-9 all going to Dairy Queen. Talk about chaos! I lucked out because...

    The EFI myth

    @Jarlaxle I agree. Interesting to note I have a Street Demon 750 1904 with the polymer body. I daily drive my Duster and I've had no issues when I was driving my duster here in Utah when we had 100-102+ degree weather. I live at 4500 ft altitude and my 360 has 10.2 compression. Much like the...

    4 door mopar cars

    I did see a rather nice 1971 Chrysler 300 4 door in a car show a little while back. I told myself "Not too shabby, but man she's huge!" This is not the one I saw but some picture I found on internet.

    To daily drive, or not....

    I get what your saying... My thinking is this; you can be in the safest car ever designed and still be killed by some idiot or drunkard, slamming into you at 100+ mph or hitting you because they were driving down the wrong side of the road. Nothing is ever idiot-proof in my experience. If it's...

    To daily drive, or not....

    I've been daily driving my Duster for the past 6 years. Were there issues? Yes. But mostly easy to fix. I've driven long distances as well, did quite a few 500+ mile trips and did one 1200 mile trip in 2017. (planning another 1000+ mile trip in it soon) Yes there were some squeaks but very mild...

    Is It Possible?........

    Not bad... A little too "pro-tour" for my taste. But doesn't look too bad. However, I don't think that is what @RustyRatRod was going for lol. As far as tires for 14 inch rims... Yikes! And here I thought 15 inch selections were crap.

    Carb choice

    Street demon 750. It's been a wonderful street carb for me for nearly 5 years, nearly 30,000 miles and counting. (until I get EFI). The thing has both, Thermoquad and maybe some AVS elements in them. 1991 360 Roller-Cam LA: Lunati Voodoo hyd. roller cam: .515/.530 lift - 270/279 duration...

    Ky to west Mo roadtrip.

    I strongly agree with this! I have done numerous trips to Louisville Colorado and back (500+ miles one way). I've even taken the scenic backroads to there. It's just an experience not forgotten. The people I met at restaurants and gas stations that saw my car and just started talking. The...

    Ky to west Mo roadtrip.

    Well, I do have an extra door I was going to offer to you... However I then realized It's off of a 74' so the inside sheetmetal is different... Unless there is a way to use the outside skin?

    Opinions on a Roadrunner...

    74 RR's were not bad but not the best. I mean they didn't look as good as the 72 and below years. But if there is one in good enough condition, is solid with very little work needed, $5K is not too bad. I mean I've seen a few like this... Again not bad IMO Now in 1975 is whole different...

    I found a cool movie on youtube by accident

    Nice movie. I did some research, it was pretty sad. Her son passed away in 2017, her ex in 2007. I can only imagine the pain of burying your children. As I'm a parent myself.

    New car rant

    I daily drive my 1974 Duster. (Restomod in progress) Even during the winter with snow tires. (Don't worry on the really bad days where there's 6+ inches of snow, I borrow the wife's Tahoe) Heck, I've driven my Duster to Louisville, CO and back to visit family. 500 miles one way (I live in Utah)...

    My Street Demon 750 review.

    I know this was hit upon by someone else before, but I'll add my Street Demon 750 experience. I love this thing! I've used Carter AFB's, Eddy Performers and Eddy AVS's in the past. I've tinkered a little with Rochesters, Thermoquads and holleys in the past (haven't quite figured them out). I...

    Fiat Chrysler FCA stopping car production in USA !

    Now that 4 cylinder prototype in 1986 the Interceptor M4S was pretty cool. A 440hp twin turboed 2.2 liter motor. Too bad they never capitalised on it. Those Z cars weren't horrible. They just reminded me too much like the fox body mustangs. Like I tell my son: "You may think they're ugly and...

    Fiat Chrysler FCA stopping car production in USA !

    +1 Yep! Agreed... The "supposed" replacements for our A-bodies was the F-bodies... We all know what happened there. Then came the K-cars... And the 1980-1989 M-bodies such as the Diplomats had "some" potential as sleepers... Ugly sleepers IMO. Then the 1980's Turismo/Shelby chargers... Umm...
