    Fans, Shrouds and Other Things

    My 440 is running a genuine stock Chrysler radiator - 22" wide (3) core - with a stock (6) wide blade fan and stock shroud. I am entertaining the idea of going with (2) 10" electric fans that will pull 2100 cfm. From what I read, this is enough to handle 800 hp. Not really a fan of electric...

    The Negative Side of Using An 180 Degree Thermostat?

    What harm would I be doing to my 440 SP if I used 180 degree thermostat over a 195? It doesn't overheat and stays right on 195, but starts to act "Funky" at operating temp. Meaning, like most 440 SP the crap they call premium gas goes to vapor. Can cooler be doable for these engines? BTW - I...

    Fire Extinguishers

    A number of years ago, I owned a car that caught fire in the engine compartment. Fortunately, I was quick and calm about extinguishing the fire before it caused too much damage. Since that time, I have made it a point to carry a fire extinguisher in the car. In the case of my Challenger, I...

    MSD Centrifugal Advance For Big Blocks

    This is something I probably should had done BEFORE I tweeked my carburetors for this altitude (+7000 asl). Especially, knowing that everything under the hood of my 70 Challenger was either freshened up or new. Including the new MSD distributor and ignition controls. So, I timed it yesterday...

    Slow Boat To Your Doorstep!

    This new way of "Corona Life" has really placed a bind in deliveries to our doorstep. Living in and around a small mountain town, in Colorado, really limits our ability to simply go to the store and buy just anything. This includes car parts! Our only solution is to order on-line and wait...

    Car/Mopar Show Enthusiasts

    Trippin' down “Memory Lane”, this morning, thinking about all the past car shows I've been to and all the fun I had participating in them. Granted, I hope those days aren't over with yet, but with this Covid-19 floating around who really knows? What really bums me out, is the last two years...

    Powerblast - The Real Deal or Snake Oil? You Decide!

    Thompson Performance, LLC My thoughts lean towards the idea IF this is such a great idea, then why didn't all the carburetor manufacturers install this item in their products? Yet their testimonies and video would have you think this is the greatest thing since slice bread. Really need to...

    Here We Go Again: Six Pack Questions

    Some time ago I was looking for a throttle base for one of the outboards. I found one, on a local auction site, purchased it and discovered my throttle plates did not fit - which I am going to say right here and now I thought was weird. Especially since, I'm no novice to rebuilding carbs and...

    Imepitude In The Way Of Our Mortality?

    I have no idea what got me going into this, but here I go... I woke up this morning at 4:30 am and immediately started pondering about the Kevin Hart - Paul Walker tragedies. I mean, I would never say to my very best friend, "Sure! You can drive my 600 hp classic investment!" I mean, face it...

    Turn on, tune in, drop out?

    Not to borrow a famous line from Timothy Leary, but I am to the point of tuning out! I'll try to stay south of being political here, but really, enough is enough. Don't you agree? You ever get to the point of just wanting to tune it all out? News media is an excellent example of all the trouble...

    Oil Filter Clearing The Lower Radiator Hose

    I have a friend, back in AZ, who is in the "Mopar Know." Especially big blocks! We recently had a discussion about oil filters. Not really which one was a better filter when it comes to filtration, but one that would not rub against the lower radiator hose with out adding more parts to that...

    A833 Lubricant

    I remember when I use to own a 1977 D100 with a four speed A833OD. I can still picture the owner's manual instructing to use ATF. At the time I thought it was odd, but after some trial and error I concluded ATF was the correct lubricant to use in that particular transmission. Skip forward 42...

    A833 Reverse Detent Assembly

    Going through the process of hunting down any leaks that cropped up on my ride. One caught my eye. To best describe this, it is the large nut - with bolt - below the reverse light switch. Has anyone ever removed one with the transmission in place? I know there is a spring and metering ball...

    Ampere Gauge

    Factory production rally instrument cluster. Question - Can the amp gauge be wired in to a switched wire off the cluster (neg ground to frame) to work? or Will I need to wire from the alternator to gauge to battery? Seems the new wiring kit, the previous owner purchased, omitted the amp...
