    tired of every thing getting smaller

    I'm 62 years old. My whole life, I have watched everything get smaller. And it went terribly wrong- the crotch does it too. Only your gut gets bigger. By the time you figure life out, you are too sore to do anything about it.

    Back in the day; hemi= more power. Ford and Cheby tried. no go. Then nhra started claiming more hp for the hemi, handi-capping it, to let the companies un-willing to build a car to keep up.

    Best Mopar engine of all time

    Back in the day, up til '72 (changed mid year or later); It you got tires, pinion snubber, and maybe some slapper bars- abody 340 beat a bbody 383. Add headers, cam and carb; tune it- watch out. Heck, with a 318 2bbl swapped to a 500 Holley, then jetted down, stiffer springs on the factory cam...

    Pink Floyd fans?

    Old fart. Their 1st album was Umma Gumma. I used to get such a kick out of the title of one song "A group of several small species of mammals, gathered together in a cave, and grooving with a pict" or close to that. Think I still have it on vinyl.

    Any one get rid of thier cowl vent?

    Why not clean it out, go to local sign store(since you seem to park outside), get a magnetized strip, and put over the top for parking? As far as water leaking, it won't if cleaned out. If it does, reach up the vent boxes and feel the lip; if rusted, ospho and jb weld-without removing anything.

    Murphy's Law can bite me...

    Yeah, I use "the right Stuff" Napa, on the ends. With Eddy gaskets I hade huge leaks on the water ports. Used Napa, and sealed the water ports with right stuff, copper-coated the rest, let it sit for 24 hours, and good. On a 340 and a 440.

    Red hot header pipe

    Lean gunked up. Down here in FL, we can buy non-ethonal, still, in select places. Sometimes you can fill the old cars, without the 5 gallon cans hassle, depends on the owner. Downside- it costs more. Up-side= more milage. Buddy just bought a new $10000 outboard boat engine. I was there to ask...

    Boeing's new weapon

    We've had this for a while. So do our enemies. It destroys electronic, which also wipes out your power and water, sewage communications, etc. Supposedly, it will wipe out the computer in your car (be nice to have old cars). No country would dare use it, as back-ups on the missile systems would...

    Best single modification,to your Mopar....

    We ran across the same instructions, installing MSD EFI. Lock the dissy, ok; make sure the rotor is phased. Call tech, and nobody could explain it, the rotor points to the cap terminal when firing. Duh? Take an old cap, cut a hole in it. shine a timing light in it, see where the rotor position...

    Best single modification,to your Mopar....

    Figuring out how to get a 69 340 to not detonate. Cost me the last left bank factory piston that was buried under dust on a dealer's shelf, 1400 miles away. They 93 octane is no good. Old engines need the octane. I'm afraid to run it anymore.
