What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

Loaded up, heading bright and early tomorrow morning to mission bc for the Langley Loafers old time drags.

Mission Raceway

The headers are opened up, slicks are on, looking forward to seeing what the old girl does in the 1/4 this year. Was low 14s last year, I should see mid 13s this year.

My brother will also be doing his NHRA licensing passes in his new (20 years in the building) 67 Dart. Should be a fantastic weekend!

I spent the weekend in the garage fiddling around with a top secret project - so, I'd tell ya, but then I'd have to kill ya... :lol:... it's gonna be a while (because I don't get to spend anywhere near as much time in the garage as I'd like) but many will really appreciate what I am up to :D

Picked up my RT heads from Kammer and Kammer out of Dayton, OH today. Hope to get them installed and running in my Dakota before the Nats.
 
Not going to destroy my Stock 273 Commando Chrome air cleaner, so cut down a Super 225... with this experiment... "exposed air filter"... in the pictures, I just have an old 273 Commando pie tin laying on the top for visual of what might become... if I chrome plate this top... just polished a bit in spinning lathe for now...

Hmmmm ??? Results so Far:

Due to changing out to Dougs headers, having the entire exhaust system reworked. X pipe, Hooker Aerochamners, plumbed all the way to the rear bumper.
 
Put my intake back on ...

... only to find my MP valve covers interfered with the kickdown linkage on that side and the generator bracket on this side. So I grabbed my old chromed ones and had to cut one of them ever so slightly to clear the LD340.

I decided this was a good time to straighten them out a bit.

After all that, I found out the threads on my cool-ish valve cover bolts are too long ... :BangHead:
