    Ignition system questions

    you could lop off 5 of the 6 reluctors in a electronic distributor and have that as the cam position sensor as its a 2:1 rotation. 36-1 would be ignition trigger for a EDIS-6, really easy to do that as the EDIS knows the ignition timing after 1 rotation. Run LS coils if you dont do single coil EDIS.

    Inner Tubing a Front Runner Tire

    Is that slime stuff worth a flip? Does it unbalance a car tire, is it NHRA legal? I used to run that all the time in my mountain bike tires.

    Inner Tubing a Front Runner Tire

    I tubed my Centerlines after they were found leaking out the hub. I suppose I could have window seam sealed the center seam but found the tubes also prevented the stems from leaking around the slightly corroded valve stem holes. Did I mention these were old Centerlines?

    Building your own headers.

    Those look like my ProParts big block A body headers in design. 1 out, 3 in. I had to section the outboard pipe in a little and mod a lower bend of one of the runners to fit a 451 in my 65 Barracuda. I made a set of 1 3/4 LA headers for same car out of a set of 67+ Hooker Race headers . Just...

    LA blocks

    a Mopar 408 or 416 is recognized as a stroked 360 or 340 small block, a 400 is a smog B block 400. I dont know anyone that's gonna still call his 4" stroked 360 a '360'. I sold a .060 over 340 to someone. He bought it. Bores looked good to me and it ran fine. But in knew it was on its last life.

    Stolen from a Mopar Facebook friend

    I stone honed 4 cylinders of my beater truck with the pistons STILL IN THE BORES! Sort of a "proof of being an idiot" and it literally reduced the blowby of the 247,000 mile motor by half. Im gonna ball hone it properly once I pull it again and get some new cast rings.

    Up Graded - Performance Damper when do you do that?

    yeah, nothing will line up with the old fluiddampers before they started scalloping the front. I just spaced my LA fan pulley out and used the 2nd groove of the alternator. It all lines up enough now but the 6 damper has a longer snout than a B so it will be even closer

    Up Graded - Performance Damper when do you do that?

    B/RB dampers will fit a 6 but you really running A/C? Any fluid type damper will be 2-3X thicker than the pizza on a stock slant.

    The new 'Dodge' 6 banger...and its a deusy!

    RACING FORUM BECAUSE THE CRATE MOTOR IS >1000 HP! Someone is gonna come up against one some day. Gubment didn't shut down the Gen 3 hemi, Stellantis, THE ENTITY FORMERLY KNOWN AS MOPAR did as their entire platform did not meet an average xx mpg mandated by the 'evil gubment'. In reality they...

    Why the hate for HR cams.

    They despise hydros in general...."why not just run mechanicals and get the RPM bonus?" Its not like these cars are supposed to be quiet or maintenance free anymore.

    Our Keystone track photographer does it again

    If the lenses were huge, that makes sense. Its hard to get bokeh (blurred background) and a fast shutter speed on a telephoto unless its $$$ and has an object lens the size of a pickle jar. Nice.....Is your front suspension limited to how far it can extend? It looks like the wheels are staying...

    Our Keystone track photographer does it again

    I like the slow mo's of the Mopar front suspensions when these land, you'd be suprised what is bending down there and rebounding. Thats a gret shot: What f-stop and lens is he using?

    Battery in Trunk Wiring That Exceeds NHRA Requirements

    There you go. It was too easy to be legal. 10-4 That's an interesting take on NHRA techs opinion as quite a few devices are controlled by the switched negative path: fuel injectors, some car audio head units (Korean oem inside), heck Anything can be switched ground controlled....'Cept your drag...

    Battery in Trunk Wiring That Exceeds NHRA Requirements

    What if you just wire the negative post through the key switch at rear bumper to ground? A battery hot is nothing without a ground path and if you have no ground hooked up at battery post, then it may as well be dead. Too easy?

    Drag strips closing in US...

    LA county has made a PSA on street racing claiming Irwindale is a safe place to drag race. You see, the trouble is Irwindale is 20 miles away and 2x that from the valley. Yes, real estate is limited in LA for a strip. It's interesting that Woodley drive where the CPW mopar shows are is basically...

    These electric cars are getting more exciting

    My 24v Gecko brand electric mower was a pos. Too little volts, lead acid batteries. Run time sucked. It may have trimmed a golf green but 3" grass with dandelions everywhere? No chance. Bring out the stinky Craftsman 21" cut 210cc B&S self propelled mower, finicky carb and all. Reminds me...I...

    Have a standard "indy car" eyelet right on top of the battery pack that can be hoisted out remotely (and decouples itself ) if it catches fire and tossed over the wall.

    Removing Upper & Lower Ball Joint Studs From Spindle....

    That HF part really works great. its 2X what I paid for it now but its never failed me and it takes about a minute to get a side off. No supports needed just clip it in, run the bolt snug and start ratchetin'. about 3 strokes and itll pop...LOUD!
