Picked up a Dart wagon on Monday. Been wanted a Valiant or Dart wagon for years. They are hard to find. This one is factory 273 with factory air! Runs and drives great, and has interior that is awesome and doesn't even need anything but cleaned up. Planning on doing a pro street type deal, and...

I have a housing that appears to be out of an early B body. Its 44 inches from spring pad center to spring pad center, and about 54 1/4 inches from flange to flange with the backing plates gone. Looking to use this under my Gremlin bracket car, and have a question. Are the axle bearings the...

Who makes a deep pan for a LA small block that is rear sump? I know these are for trucks and vans, but I am putting the engine in an AMC Gremlin and it is a front steer system. Thanks

Dont ask me how, but I have ended up with a decent 74 Gremlin. For $200 I wasn't just going to leave it there for someone else to buy. Want to make a little bracket car out of it. Something that could be built on a budget and go low 7's in the 1/8th. At first I was thinking that I would pick up...

Wanted to see what some of you are running for solid roller lifters. Application is a stroked LA small block. I was running a set of Comp solid rollers. Cant remember the part number. Ran them for two full race seasons, and started noticing that I was having to tighten up the valve lash a...

Hey guys, Got the factory pedal in my 71 dart, and have a Lokar cable and mount. My butterflies in the carb are not opening fully before the pedal hits the floor. Heres the deal. The part of the pedal that the cable slides into is all the way against the firewall when everything is hooked up...

I'm just about done sorting out my Volare wagon bracket car after converting it to methanol. Was having a hard time staying green because of the car moving so much harder than before. Played around adjusting the car on friday test and tune to try to keep it in the beams a little longer...

Been running my Dart and my Volare wagon on E85 the last two years. Won the track championship last year using both cars, so I cant say anything negative about E85. Its been good to me, and I plan to still run it on the Dart. I had an 830cfm E85 carb on the wagon. When I bought the car it...

Guys, got a question for those with experience with either of these cams. Rebuilding my 452 in my 67 Belvedere. I'm putting it back on the street, and have mad a few small changes. It now has 3.73 gears in the rear with a 27inch ET Radial tire. Has a 727 in it, and will be running the...

Only Mopar that races in the no box class at our track. Points were tight all year, but pulled away over the last two races. Out of the last four races, I went to 3 finals and won two of them. First championship for me. Never had bracket raced until 5 years ago, and have been working hard at...

Not an A body, but cool anyway. Took my 78 Volare wagon off the street and dedicated it to being a true footbrake car to use at some big money footbrake races and another local track that wont let me run the dart because of the 2 step/transbrake. Best in street/strip trim was low 7.30's in...

I've always spent countless hours prepping and taping up the inside of the car when the time came to paint the cages in my cars. Then getting inside and spray bombing with rattle can wheel paint. It always turned out nice, but scratched off really easy from climbing over the door bars. So, I...

...... we may just win a race or two this year in the no box class. First time in the car since November. Tried a different carb for most of the test and tune. Never could get it where I wanted it. So, before test and tune was over, I put the old carb on and made 2 passes 45 minutes...

I think most guys know what these are. They are to my knowledge the only factory big block heads that came with a closed chamber design. only available in the 1967 model year. If that info is wrong feel free to correct me. Anyway, I've ended up with a nice set that has had some decent port...

I just want to see what everyones experiences have been with using collector extensions on the headers. What have you found on the dyno or better yet on the race track? Discuss any testing done using different lengths, or even using no collectors at all. Just thought this could be very...

I've always run SS springs on my cars with good success. my dart was set up as follows. SS springs with extra clamps on the front segments. adjustable pinion snubber FOR INSURANCE ONLY. the snubber was set 2 1/2 inches from the floor just to save the u joint if something went wrong and the rear...

after giving one away 2 races ago. went all rookie in the finals 2 races ago by taking too much finish line after killing the guy on the tree. broke out by .002, and had plenty of room. the next week I lost at 3 cars. however, this week was a different story. the air changed over 1,000 ft from...

short run down. friends son had a duster bracket car with a 7.00 360 in it. he hurt the motor, and they were looking for a stock motor just to keep him racing until they rebuild. I had a junkyard magnum from a 94 truck with 121,000 miles on it. told him I would lone it to him until they got...

and I'm happy as can be. I know its not an A-body, but thought some of you guys might appreciate it. its got 3.73 gears and is a street car. launch pic was took with those gears and on street tires. it ran a 7.45 in the eigth mile at 95mph. I wont fill up a whole page with details unless you...

well, since the 71 Dart bracket car is finished and doing well, its time to get back on the project that I was working on before I stopped to start the Dart. I decided to spend the extra coin and find a solid car to start with on this project. long story short I found it while searching Ebay...

I dont know what to think of it. my car is running mid to high 6.80's on the e85. it has been 6.81 on 110 gas. they want egt readings at around 1250-1280. mine is at 1305-1320 and if I try to go richer it smokes all the way down the track and runs 6.90's. on a positive note I left it on the...

just curious to see what methods some of you other bracket racers use for tuning your carb to run consistent ET's? I have always been from the camp that runs the carb a litttle lean. my thinking has always been that when the lower DA of evening time comes that the carb that is already starving...

if so, I was wondering how consistent your et's are compared to gas when it comes to bracket racing. also, how much harder did your car "hit the tires" when you switched over from gas. I have seen first hand how much of a different animal that methanol is on the tires when run in the same car...

sorry guys, I cant figure out how to get my pics on here. so here is the link to the track photographers site that should go straight to the pics. thanks for looking. I thought the day would never come that I would finish it, lol. http://newdayphoto.phanfare.com/6455731

you may recall when I posted about the Darts 1st track day a couple weeks ago. made only one pass and the car was all over the track. went a 7.10 at 94.24 mph. got back to the pits and saw that the nuts and washers had pulled through the poly strut bushings. installed QA1 strut rods later that...

I only have 3.5 inches of travel on my new dart . on my 67 Belvedere I have almost six inches. I have no upper bump stops on the Belvedere, slant 6 torsion bars, comp engineering 3 way shocks, and worn out rubber bushings. on the Dart I have new poly bushings, QA1 strut rods with the heim...

I know you guys both said you run RMS adjustable strut rods. well, I bought a set of QA1 adjustables which is the same design. I went with those because I was able to get a great deal on a new set. anyway, I would like to quickly explain how I installed these, and you guys tell me if I'm good...

what model is it and what is its weight WITHOUT you in it? I'll be weighing mine in a few weeks, but was looking to see how heavy similar set ups to mine are. mine is a 71 dart with an iron head small block. has 29.5 x 9 slicks, gutted dash and firewall, full cage, and one racing seat. two...

well, after working on the new Dart race car for over 3 years I finally got it to the track yesterday. heres a little history on the car. 71 dart 408 w/ forged 12.1 Icon pistons IMM prepped RHS heads (no porting) comp solid roller .621/.589 lift, 258/[email protected], 113 LSA Harland Sharp 1.5 ratio...

put a brand new one in the new race car. it has been cranking the car just fine while in the shop. last night I finally bled the brakes on the car and was going to check the transmission and 2 step operation. I start the car right up, put it in reverse and mash the trans brake. "bump", right...
