Thanks for your reply but as I stated, is going from the stock 10" braking system to the 10.87" or 10.97" rotor worth the effort? I checked out the motor trend info site and it was not helpful. I need to know what OEM parts I'm gonna need to make this upgrade and as I stated before, keep my 14"...

Hello again; I have a 1974 Challenger with the rallye hood. Problem is, it starts to shake at the cowl end when I go over 60 mph to the point I'm worried it's gonna chip the paint. The scoops have the factory block off plates installed. What I have done so far is, replaced the hinges and cranked...

Hi there; I have a 1974 Challenger and I'm putting in a sniper efi tank. I want to run two 3/8" and one 1/4" steel lines. I'm looking at where the lines snake around the front leaf spring hanger. Question, is there another way to get around this without all those tight 90 degree bends and will...
