The collection of parts that this car is doesn't really mean anything in regards to rear end ratios. It has, IMO, been cobbled together to be a roller with whatever parts the seller, or previous sellers, had lying around. The various parts that do have VINs that don't align with the stamped...
If you race your car in an environment where you need rapid springs changes, need to perform changes for track conditions, or have a need to dial in those spring rates within 50-100# of perfect, then a coil over system can be a benefit. It also will reduce weight in the front of the car and may...
Don't overlook the chassis and safety requirements for running 10s. Per NHRA
10.99 seconds (6.99 1/8th) or Super Street
SFI 4.1 Transmission Shield, or at 135 mph
Locking transmission dipstick tube
Aftermarket axles and axle retainers
SFI Harmonic Balancer
Roll Cage with altered floor...
I've seen Speedhut come up in a number of conversations for high quality, off the shelf, and customizable configurations. You can get special backgrounds, unique font and graphics, lighting, gauge combos, and more. They were started by a handful of Autometer guys who wanted to offer a broader...
Couldn't you have just used the complimentary lens from the opposing side instead of performing surgery? You know, take the outboard left lens to put in the inboard right position?
I assume with either method you still need to extend the taillight wiring to that position and disable the reverse...
No experience with their stroker kits. I have bought other items from them and have been satisfied with those parts.
I notice the compression ratios on their 426 kit are street friendly, if that is a goal. Their 408 premium high compression kit does have ratios more along the line of a race...
Ditto. We used to use Fridgette and AAR Systems cruise controls. They had a transducer that went in between the speedo cable and trans, so we didn't have to do the magnet thing. Also did factory appearing, in dash a/c systems too. Myhow the time flys by....
Weekly drag racing programs have a range of classes and requirements that are pretty broad and forgiving. If you are thinking of participating in national event caliber programs, that’s an entirely different part of the sport and will put you back on a baloney sandwich diet.
Let’s try this, are...
Low ride height won't have an impact on how wide a front tire you can run, unless you are planning on really cranking it up into 4x4 territory.
Ride height is measured from the floor to the bottom of the t-bar socket and from the floor to the bottom of the lower ball joint. In stock form, the...
Bracket drag racing, which is what you would be doing, is all about consistency, not highest speed or lowest e.t. Take what you got to the track, and run it. Don't care with how fast or worry about how much. Just run it. If you enjoy, then you can decide if you want to step up the funding to go...
I used a leftover bumper from a set of Lakewood traction bars. These are similar to the upper control arm full droop bumpers on our Mopars.
My adjustable unit I did end up cutting in half. With only a single hole left, its wasn't really adjustable anymore.
Summit leaf springs are different than the Mopar Performance leaf springs, although you can buy either on the Summit website. I have no idea who makes the Summit units. Mopars are made in Mexico by a Mopar vendor and are a bias design with extra leaves on the right side. I personally have not...
Problem I have run into with the adjustable units, both the Mopar and American Muscle versions, is they are too tall to fit under a car that has been lowered at all, but the stock ones are too short. On one of my cars I cut down the adjustable one a bit so it it would fit. On another car I used...
You could always try it and see! Tell them you had an epiphany and wanted to check it out before they start. If it works, then you've saving paying for hours worth troubleshooting. Since they aren't going after a specific repair, I bet they quoted a flat rate per hour for testing, whether they...
May be nit-piking, but it's actually an amp gauge and not a voltage gauge. Amp gauges perform differently. Volt gauges will hardly ever move as it simply measure battery voltage. Amp gauge is measure current flow through the whole system. You should have seen it leaning towards the Charge side...
Yea, there are several actually. In simplest terms, it is early with passenger side timing tab or late with driver side timing tab. We'll leave the post '92 Magnum versions out of consideration.
Here is a more detailed description of some of the variants: SB Timing Covers Info
You wouldn't have to touch it for it to develop a booster leak. The vacuum diaphragm is inside the booster canister. You couldn't see it even if it had failed catastrophically. However, it's entirely possible it developed a small tear and started leaking engine vacuum, making it impossible to...
M1 seem to be pretty good intakes. Of course finding them isn't easy and they tend to be pretty pricey when you do.
I'm thinking for a 512, go tunnel ram. 512 is a lot of inches and there is no sense in pinching it with airflow. While not as cool as an under hood cross ram, they are still...
