    Will a 32×14 slick fit in a Mini tubbed 70 dart?

    I have a 67 notch back Cuda. I narrowed the rear end 2" and did a mini tub. I have 12" wide tires and they fit great

    410 Duster

    Looks great! I have a 410 in my Barracuda. If you can find a 904, they hold up behind 410's and are considerably faster than a 727. My friend has 2 A bodies that run 10.50's using 904's. I have a Street 410 and mine runs 12.20's with 3.23's. Not the one in the picture

    Things that happen just before you leave for a run

    Went to load the car. Started up the ramp and BAM, the trailer did a wheelie and hit the back of the Durango. Forgot to latch the trailer ball. Did that with my 66 D200 also. Had the car on the trailer, lowered the hitch on the ball. Drove 120 miles home and found that I had not latched the...

    a/f meter in car using 110 octane

    Just a thought. If 110 is leaded, you sniffer in the pipe will get clogged very quickly "I thnk". I thought that A/F meters don't like leaded gas. Anyone know for sure?

    1969 Dart GT 440 vs. 2010 Camaro SS/RS

    A friend has a 70 ish Firebird wth a "500 HP" 350. He won't race my 67 with a 475 HP 410. He just bought a Mustang GT and he won't race it either. There is a big difference between talking and showing. Unless he brags about how he can beat me, let him talk.

    going to MATS

    Went to MATS. Car ran 107 with a 12.35. Lost in the third round of street. It was red and I was dead with a bad light. Happy with how it ran. Finally remembered to look at the A/F meter on the last run. It was a little lean. Been so long since I raced that it was definitely not a routine.

    going to MATS

    I am so looking forward to racing my 67 Barracuda for the last time. I am driving it down from Carson City, change tires and race. Have to sell it after that because old age and surgeries has caught up. Even if you're not intersted and buying it come by, I'd like to met some ABodysonly members

    small block w-2 heads

    I have Diamond W-2 heads that have ben made rectangular. Unleaa you have a high stall and low gears they are dogs until 5000 + RPM. I had to put a small rectangular port dual plane to get them to wotk on my street /strip car. I guess this is off topic but Herb McCandlees told me that rectangular...

    Setup the suspension on Slow Dart

    I would like to why "no ladder bars". I have CalTracs with mono leafs. They work OK but, ladder bars work better IMO

    Should I drive my car to the track?

    If you can get tall tires for the trip, that would be my choice. I towed my Barracuda when it was a full on racer(4400 stall, 265 @ .050 and 13.5:1. 80 miles with your gears won't hurt. In the 60's I used to drive 40 miles with 4.56 gears and a 26 " tire. I'd race and then drive home. Now I...

    What are you using ?

    You only need to go as fast as your ego demands. On a flat tappet motor, it is much less expensive to use 10-30 or 10-40 with a zinc additive. My 67 Barracuda ran 11.08 on a hot day at Bakersfield in 02. My buddy ran 10.95 at Vegas in a 70 Dart this year. Both motors are 360's with 30 weight...

    Ported Indy VS open chamber ported W2

    I found a rectangular port Weiand W2 on Ebay and bought it because I thought i might use it later. Originally I had a Holley Strip Dominator that has rectangular ports ( modified by previous owner ) which produced the worse 60' of any engine in my career (2.20). With my 2500 Stall converter and...

    Ported Indy VS open chamber ported W2

    If you use W2, they willl not come close to a closed chamber Indy unless you have quench pad on you pistons. I have aluminum W2 heads and my problem is that I can't change because of the quench pad. I am done with serious racing and would like to put on Edelbrocks but I need to change...

    Old Fart testing his street Barracuda

    Hey folks, I just came back from the second test day at Top Gun in Fallon, NV (4000'). It is a street car with 3.23 gears and I drove it 75 miles to the strip. It's a 410 SB with a Dual Plane intake, TTI headers, 3" exhaust with 2 1/2" tail pipes, a hydraulic cam and Drag radials. I was shocked...

    last hurrah at MATS

    I have almost got my 67 Barracuda ready. Everything is harder when you're old and stiff. I think it's sort of funny that every part of my body is stiff except the important part. I'll go to Top Gun in 2 weeks and see what it turns. I hope I'm not too disappointed after driving the Demon...

    Batten W2 Alloy Heads

    Herb McCandless told me that rec port W2's don't work on automatic trans car because they have great volume and low velosity. Autotrans need torque unless you have a 6000 stall converter. Great for the street/strip car huh? My diamond W2's would only work if I put in smaller cam and a dual...

    last hurrah at MATS

    I was priviledged to drive my buddys 71 Demon in the PRO class at Mopars st the Strip. We had nothing but problems which I can blame on 2 things. 1. I am not used to a reverse pattern shifter and 2. The distributor had a bad pickup coil causing it to shoot ducks at the top of second and all...
