    Where To Weigh My Car

    Look for an Allied Van Company or other similar moving company near you, many times they will have scales and charge you a few dollars to use it. Otherwise, head to a truck stop with CAT Scales (catscale.com for locations), or go to your local track that does tech, as they should have scales.

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    So what I was planning on was grabbing a piece of 3/4" angle iron and welding it to the bottom of the pedal mount bracket to give it the amount of swing room it needs. I had wedged a 3/4" thick piece of wood behind it and it worked correctly. The angle iron at the bottom would give it a stable...

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    It's a 73 Duster, original V8 car, 650 Speed Demon, LD340 intake. Lokar throttle cable and kickdown kit. Pedal bottoms out on floor an inch short. Kickdown was limiting travel a bit, but I readjusted it and all is well now from that problem. Still can only get 30% secondary opening. I watched...

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    Does your cable open your carburetor all the way to WOT? I am having a hell of a time getting mine to open the carburetor all the way, with my pedal running out of travel by about an inch.

    Mopar Performance Parts - Always have to wait

    It's been getting worse and worse for 15 years. 17 actually..once Daimler came in, MPP took a solid back seat for anything that isn't current year. Just tried to get a set of distributor advance keys today and they are discontinued. Apparently nobody needs to set timing anymore, they figure we...

    Which is better 4wheeler/jeeps

    Not sure if cost is a factor, but if you're going to modify them to high heaven, the Cherokee will be cheaper in the long run. Tons of stuff out there for XJs, the vast majority is reasonably priced.

    Got a New Tow Vehicle last night...

    Just like the title says, last night I went out and bought a 2005 Dodge Dakota ST with a 4.7L V8 and 5 speed automatic. This truck runs very smooth, rides great, and still leaves 2 black strips of rubber wherever I want it to. After having it for one day and about 100 miles, I can say its...

    ET Predictions for my car...

    Yes, but not as accurate as I like...I know its like 1.54 or 1.56 times the 1/8 mile time, but that doesn't work for all cars. The Intrepid for example, has no bottom end. If I converted its 1/8 times into 1/4 with the conversion, it comes out about 7 tenths higher than it actually runs, since...

    ET Predictions for my car...

    I haven't run the Duster. It isn't ready for it. I have been bracket racing this beast all year (and it has me 12th in points ;) ) Plus, even if I ran it at my local track, its still only 1/8, so I would still be asking until I trailered the car another half hour to Bradenton

    ET Predictions for my car...

    I hate to do this kind of stuff, but I was just wondering what other A-body people think my car should be able to pull off on the 1/4 based on my combo. 73 Duster Fiberglass Hood with Dual snorkel scoop All the seats (both front buckets, rear bench) No carpet yet 15x4" Weld Pro Stars with...

    Put the Super Stock Springs in...

    I don't like how they sit, as they do sit right at the crossmember, but I'll get pics in the morning. I have disc brakes in front, but the Knurl on them is .615", Moroso states that they are the ones to fit the front of a Mopar with disc brakes. The fuel line is -6AN so that it will...

    Put the Super Stock Springs in...

    And got the purple hornies mounted. The car actually sits like it has some rear suspension now, and it sounds alot quieter considering they are just header mufflers (bolted straight to the collector). Here's pics, first one is of the new stuff I got today (3" studs for front, race lug nuts...

    Video: My Car Runs

    Mopar Performance Recommends a smaller one than that 4500 to run what I plan on. Define "something more modern" for me, as I have no idea what you mean by that, unless you are talking roller cams. As for the 1.6 rockers...I just want the extra lift they will afford me over the stockers. I...

    the car will run for a while with what it has, but at the end of the season, I'm gonna be looking into the new cam, and I want to go with the bigger one, as I'd like to make sure it sits right on that 11.8-12.2 area, naturally, 11s would be nicer to see... One person I was talking to was...

    Probably not...not to be rude to older people, but its mostly the younger guys (35 and under) who use the computer moreso, but it never seems to matter. I have yet to find people who take tech advice from those who are younger, unless they personally know them...its taken me 2 1/2 years of...

    from the best I can tell, the cam is a .484" lift, 284/284 duration MPP purple shaft. to tell you the truth, I'm not totally sure on which one it is, as the motor came to me already built. thats teh reason why I need to buy my new cam kit, which is the .508" lift, 292 duration cam from...
