Ignition so nice it has it twice. Which one is the back up? 
I have no clue.. LOL. Didn't take the time to look at it. Got it home and put it in the back for the winter. If we get a nice day or 3, I might pop the hood and give it a little more of a gander.Ignition so nice it has it twice. Which one is the back up?

The 78 Magnums were offered with a 400, but the biggest you could get in the 79 was a 360. I had a black T top car with dove gray leather interior loaded out with accessories that was a sales manager's demo. I stripped off all of the HP robbing pollution stuff including the 904 lockup. I put an 8 3/4 B body sure grip in it with 727, Edelbrock 4 bbl intake & a 700 cfm Holley, MDS ignition & MSD 6 AL box. It was an excellent DD until I got bored with it, sold it & went back to 60s & 70s Mopars.

somebody on youtube already gave it a nickname... DRAGNUM
That looks just like mine. Dark blue that looked black at an angle. T tops leather interior and 400 bb. Thanks for the flash back @moparmat2000.
My house. I own both before I seen that advertisement.
Then there is also the wife’s B-Cuda and the drag duster.

Another ad.
Dodge designed it to have less wind resistance for Nascar... I have no idea what I'm going to do with mine yet.. I do have a 440, B-body headers, and some freshly painted white rims with Drag Radials on them.. LOL

Richard Petty built one and said it was horrible at speed. Rumor is he cut the body off and switched to another manufacturer after that. Marty Robbins ran one though.
well, I don't think holding 185 mph in it all day will be in my future...... LOL Maybe 85 mph in the 1/4 ??
My wife wants to get started on it... I think it's in the back "40's" till Spring...

Heres some pix. You know, back when stock cars were still somewhat production based.

Not 100% sure but with a late 70s B body I think the small block motor mounts bolt right to a big blocks mounting ears and it bolts right in.
