(The article does have a couple of mistakes...the main one is saying that Carlton drove the "wire-car" Duster. It's my understanding that he passed away before the car was ever finished.) I believe Don Carlton worked and drove both the wire car and yellow small block car

68 Coronet 500 with a 383 HP motor/ auto car. This thing was really fast for what it was on the street. I sat in the passenger seat of this car many of a night smoking big block Camaros. 440 GTX. 440 Coronet R/T. Cougar Eliminator. All kinds of other wannabe cars. :burnout:

69 Hemi Charger 500, 69 1/2 M code super bee dark green, black vinyl top. 69 M code 440 cuda Notchback That would keep me happy for awhile.

Barracuda/ Heart Highwaystar/ Deep purple Flower/ Moby Black Betty/ Ram Jam Copper head road/ Steve Earle Good ol' boys/ Waylon Jennings Down on the corner/ CCR Dazed and Confused soundtrack is pretty good. There are alot of good ones...These are a few that come to mind..

Yuuup. PCV valve on.

I was told that if you put a slight bead of black silicon between the valve cover and gasket only and bolt it on. Let stand overnight to set up, it will fix the problem. The silicon will take any imperfections out of the cast valve covers. Any better ideas out there???

Well that seems to be issue I am having. There seems to be no sense in putting 5 more sets on before changing them anyhow, unless someone out there has a "secret to the seal". I will wait for a few more post while I shop for some valve covers online.

Well I am looking for opinions on what is the best valve cover gasket for the 440 with the black cast valve covers, and does anyone use a helper with them. Such as: silicone, indian head gasket, etc. The small blocks I have no problems with. I usually use the reusable gray gaskets (can't...

no drive train does kill it. 3k is topping it out.

I like the Trans Am style street car idea. 340 six-pac, 4spd or keisler 5 spd. add some Trans am graphics on the side of the resprayed original gold color. looks like a nice and fun project. 6k seems like a good deal to me. I have put alot of these older A-bodies together, there not cheap...

funny i just had a bad experience with Mancini last week as well. First in 10 years, although I am not a big buyer. I ordered the calvert u-bolts that are specific to the monoleaf spring. They are a gold anodized and have them pictured in there flyer. I went thru them instead of Calvert because...

It is gone, but seems to me they were drilled holes. I know the bumper guards on my 68 are.

my 72 orange 340 car had them..

When are the dates on the Columbus show? I went 2 years ago and had a ball. Thinking about going again thia year.

Nice, Funny stuff. Hey Wedge do you want to sell them Valve covers? I am looking for a set of 72's

67 Valiant

Any more good stories or Pix out there!!!

your 65 has nicer body lines (more character) sounds like if you want to go fast, the valiant might be the way to go.

sorry for my reply, you proved me wrong.

I agree thumbwheel radio, didn't have in 70. I believe the 340 Wedge callout on hood and top trim was 71 only, wasn't it? seems to me alot of things are not right in the interior or at least nice. We must remember there are alot of bowtie and blue oval guys invading are hobby, that don't know...

340 for real power, short stroke, perfect rod ratio. It was built to be bad ***. Besides if your replacing a 318, do you really want to worry about adding cost for an externally balanced vibration dampner, Flywheel, or flexplate. Also unless your doing a stroker crank, you are dealing with a...

That would be my worst nightmare, getting tagged by another car on the track. especially a G.M. UUUUUUGGGHHHHHHHHHHH. I just remembered, My 73 Duster t-boned a late model car. He turned left in front of me thru a stop light. That Duster plowed that car to smithereens. I tweaked the front...

Here are some past pix when I raced fulltime, kept the cuda sold the challenger. Fun Fun!!!

Those were two different trees that came across the roof as i was airborne on the side. hit the trees about 10' up, spun around and dropped to the ground. Two girls up front with me and 1 in the back seat. No seatbelts on any of us and just minor bumps and scratches. I was being looked out for...

I thought this would be an interesting topic, to post mopars that you have wrecked or been in during the wreck. Let's try to keep it to the members cars, and give locations and time frame to where they were wrecked, maybe some of us have seen them in junkyards. We all probaly know some good...

I like the dash as well, very cool. I never went that direction in dash, but had alot of aftermarket gauges around steering wheel and below dash. A few years ago I purchased a new factory tach and vacumn plated my original cluster and got all the factory gauges working, and I really like the...
