    440 source rocker arms

    I have 440 Source rockers on my daughters bracket Cuda. One of the adjusters recently broke off with the locknut, and luckily came to rest beside the valve out of the way of the spring. I now carry a spares but plan to upgrade to Harlan's when the Indys get ported. They are rather noisy.

    1 battery or 2

    I'm working on wiring up my Dart for bracket racing. I'm not using an alternator. In talking with a racer friend, he thought 1 battery would not keep up to the demand I'm putting on it, and suggested I add another battery. The car has electric water and fuel pump, fan, MSD, transbrake, etc. etc...
