    What's with women that runs the gas tank down to the last drop!???

    Wife always tags me when she knows it is low. “Need a little milk from the market, just take my car.” 20 minutes and $40 later, she has her gallon of milk.

    Why the Fuel Return Line on Only Some Models?

    Also have 72 Sebring. My 1/4 line to tank is a vapor only. Not a fuel return. Plumbed to top of tank.

    Who has the older aluminum 3 speed OD transmission and how much power are you putting to it?

    We run an 833 OD in a road race setup a-body. 300 hp at the flywheel with a 3.73 rear gear. Hardly ever shift to 4th. When we do, easy shift into gear and hammer down. Held up for years. Fun to power by $100,000 cars in an old Plymouth.

    Oil recommendation

    According to the filter study, the Baldwin flowed better than the Wix and had better filtration. That's not to say that the Wix is not a good filter. I run both street car and race motor engines.

    Views from behind the wheel!

    Best ever trip with my newly 16 licensed daughter. Had her driving through the Ozark twisties. Brake in the straight, if you are a little hot going in, she will hold, power out in the last third…. Best week ever!

    A500 IN A 72 B-BODY

    Maximum torque at low rpm

    40-75 is consistent. 1:1 drive to the 3:55 axle. 0-60 would require consistent shifts on a truck 4-speed. NP. Not the smoothest shifting transmission but it is tough.

    Maximum torque at low rpm

    First change in place. Finished headers to 2-1/2 dual pipes. Single muffler with 3 inch single out. Did a 40-75 punch with original exhaust, 30 second average on two runs. Same trial, after exhaust upgrade, same conditions, 20 seconds.
