Yes, you told us it won’t work with AC. Not sure why? Also not sure who said it was some super intake for performance.

I also wanted to add the intake I referenced uses the 71 bubble choke, might that mean it’s a copy of the vaunted 71 cast iron rig?

Was back around the car and noticed why I didn’t see this as an issue? Did they have different brackets on different years? My setup isn’t going to be bothered by the intake at all.

Seems like a small exhaust valve? Isn’t the common upgrade for oem heads and some aftermarket stuff to 1.81? Does that not matter if they used the real estate to improve the port?

Could you use a shorter filter and supplement flow with one of those filter lids? I’m not a big fan of k and n type stuff, but that might help out in an application needing clearance.

Oh that’s interesting. I sure didn’t catch that. Have to do some fancy footwork. Thank you.

Mopar made an aluminum copy of the factory intake about 25 years ago. Intake DCC-4529118 It is also sometimes listed as or marked P4532063, possibly on the bottom. At least you can drop the weight off the nose. I finally obtained one and someday will get it in the car. I’m running a totally...

Looking for 69 RR RM21 post coupe Must have A87 package. Must be 4 speed. Must be a ready to go car. I can do TLC stuff, but no longer can handle the big project cars. I can do anything from a Day 2 car all the way up to a low mile survivor. Stuff like a 440 swap, wheel or discs etc are fine...

Yet again, Geoff displays a lack of understanding and a willingness to cause damage to an engine. Pretty easy to see what I wrote and how timing advances into a dangerous range quickly. Thinking that an engine with no load on it at idle is the same as one pulling a car down the road is...

You really have to be careful with timing. I’ve explained this to you on here before, not sure why you are going down the road of engine damage yet again. Typically it will be all in by like 2200. What you are laying out there could cause 25 degrees(or more????) at idle, followed by 16-26 or...

I doubt you’d have a problem with 16, just try and see. As long as the total doesn’t get over what the engine will tolerate on a given fuel, you’ll be fine. I found my factory assembled 70 383 hp didn’t make any audible pings at 38, but wasn’t smooth. It was choppy feeling. I pulled it back a...

With the engine masters test showing no drop in torque and a big hp gain going up to 270s from either 240s or RPM heads, you’d be looking at another big gain. Question becomes how far do you push a stock block? Big thread on Moparts right now delves into that. We actually have a few choices for...

How are your wires? My car had an old set of the repop wires. I found they were both brittle at the ends and also when you ohmed the ones that had good ends, they jumped all over the place when the wire was moved around. I forget exactly what the coil wire was like, I remember it was wild as...

I have a late model motor on my 69 and found a date coded one. I got the arm from Bill Peake. I use him a lot for new and used parts. Also does wiper motors and power steering pump rebuilds etc.

I totally get that. I’ve had manual box cars and I liked the road feel better then power. Have to roll the car to turn st low speed. I also liked my stock power box cars. One finger is fine. Whoever did the light resto on my car really screwed the pooch with this box. It’s dead as can be...
