These work pretty well in a race application (not for street use). http://autolite.test.foresitetech.net/node/430 But with the kids and recession, my budget isn't what it used to be. I use Autolite 3924s to good effect in my car but I run Magnum style heads. They might be different than X,J...

Yes, they can and do come and take the money back. Your recourse in such a case is very limited.

Personally, as in my opinion I think 20K would be about tops for an original/restored A-body, barring something highly unusual/special/unique (Hemi Dart, Sox and Martin Cuda, etc). And that 20K would have to be for something like a 340 4 speed demon with buckets, console, good color in awesome...

Here are some of the "great deal" mopars near me...keep in mind I live in the buckle of the rust belt... http://terrehaute.craigslist.org/cto/2918909963.html Love the wing. It's red because its embarrassed... http://chambana.craigslist.org/cto/2859292745.html...

No one ever said anything like that. Or even close actually. Someone has a pretty good idea a shop owner is looking to flip something when they go to a shop to sell it. Now, if you represented yourself as a guy barely getting by who could really use a sweet deal on a bow, or really needed...

I have noticed the prices are moving back up on old muscle cars. Stuff has been depressed for a couple years now, but the prices seem to be coming back up. Never, ever sell a classic car in the fall. Cruise season is over and people would have to buy something just to store it all winter. You...

My favorite is all the yokels who drive around with their tailgates down, then leave the truck idling when they go into the quicky mart. I have found that trying to save money on gas makes people bad at math. Well, I think this exhaust system/programmer/turbolater is going to save me some gas...

Bad ***! I so want one of those things. There's a guy I know that runs 11.90s with one, only mods are exhaust, slicks, cold air, and tune. It has 3.31 gears... Jalopnik is just going to find something negative to say about an American car. Besides the fact that its just a commercial... My...

Its the Daily Mail. Its a tabloid. I don't know that they outright make stuff up like they do in the states, but its definitely a "low journalism" kind of thing. And yes, if you've gotta go, that's the way to do it. Check this out "Despite claiming he had only had two drinks two hours...

I share these frustrations. It is unbelievable that anyone who "knows Mopars" or whatever wouldn't know what parts of the car to take a picture of (if its an A-body, show pics of the rear spring boxes! HELLO?!). People try to hide behind a supposed ignorance of the technical issues to hide big...

Man, its hard to tell in this pic, but that doesn't look like a chally bumper on the back of that thing. Also, where's the side reflector marking light deal?

If I recall, there was a first gen barracuda in that movie also. Might have been second gen, but its been like 25 years since I saw that movie.

Phantasm II

Sorry to hear about Socal. Guess that's one place I"m not moving! Nearest quarter mile to me is about 100 miles, so I guess that makes me "lucky" compared to some. It is ridiculous. There was an AFB about 20 minutes from here with mile long concrete runways that someone wanted to turn into a...

Seems like everybody learned the "muscle cars need retro touches" after GM threw the GTO, Firebird and Camaro in the trash with their "This is what a mullethead thinks a rocketship should look like" styling. If there's a new Cuda, I would be shocked if it didn't have a similar retro style to...

The challenger is heavy. Looks heavy, drives heavy. the worst thing about owning one (other than the depreciation schedule) would be the fact that every guy with a new mustang and camaro is going to want to race, and they're both faster. Also, what the hell is up with Dodge putting REALLY tall...

The last thing you want to do is start on diet soda. The caffiene is addictive and so is the Aspartame (or whatever they call the chemical crap they put in there). The high fructose corn syrup in "sugared" sodas is terrible for you. IN addition to the obvious weight gain that it causes, it...

Ugh. This is horrible. http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/12/08/9290603-report-air-force-dumped-remains-of-274-troops-in-landfill "New information revealed that the practice, exposed by The Washington Post in November, had become very widespread until it was halted in 2008, the...

I'm betting you hooked it up to a straight vacuum port, instead of the ported vacuum port. Consult the manual that came with the carb to be sure it is hooked to the correct port. The vacuum line to the distributor shouldn't be able to effect idle at all. The vacuum secondaries do not require...

Wow. Pure idiocy. I'm betting dude that hit the fence isn't racing anymore.

Congrats! That's awesome.

They're awesome. I guess a movie is being made with the guy from Borat as Freddie Mercury. Should be interesting. What the hell is a belladonic haze anyway?

Since the numbers add up to 100%, I'm guessing they only had ten to choose from. I wonder why the '70 Cuda and not the '71? I can dig the old Mopars, but I think any of them would have their hands full with a 427 shelby cobra.

Yeah, that definitely sucks, but driving is a privilege, not a right. You have to be able to maintain a vehicle to a minimum standard to travel the roadways. Too many bad brake, bald tire deathraps on the road as it is.

Somewhere this side of laying a smokescreen for other drivers.

Link? Talk about something that is apples and oranges to what we're discussing.

Its funny you mention that. I'm pretty sure the "smoke" in the picture is actually early morning startup water vapor. :tongue10:

I don't think its excessive for people to be required to fix vehicles leaving visible smoke trails. I think in many cases, emissions laws are a profit center for states, but there are minimum standards for operating a vehicle on the highway. I also think the "citizen's hotline" is a BS idea.

I think a lot of people suppose that because she was accused, she was guilty, and/or she deserves punishment for this crime because she was supposedly promiscuous. Out ethos is supposed to be "innocent until proven guilty", but I've noticed that many many people seem to think the opposite. I...

She was pretty hot and the details were sordid (involving sex and drugs), hence, lots of coverage. I thought it was that there wasn't any DNA evidence where the body was found, but there is DNA on THIS KNIFE (dramatic music) that could be the murder weapon!!! (Oh no!) but its not. So there...
