B&M proratchet for mine . Never a missed gear no mucking around to access reverse / park . Mate has a gate Hurst I dont like changing how i shift between gears ie pulling trigger for 1 shift but not other . Fitted a M&M in another mates Chev , real nice bit of kit works clean especially with air...

LW good on you for stepping up as you see fit . I have gone the other way the last 3 years . Tbrake is nice but a little harder on car especially if you choose to leave higher , 35/4000+ . Make sure those spring perches are boxed . My Plymouth was not a huge amount faster basically whatever it...

thanks everyone . its been a great couple of days . Been lots of help and encouragement here . Padam , racing a Plymouth means there is no parts ready available here . So I carry general tools . And a few parts , v/c gaskets , intake gaskets, plugs leads , belts , 2 spare axles , front w...

Hey all . As some have followed along i have been doing some travelling and following our national series #nationaldragracingchampionship After plenty of miles travelled i earned entry to the grand final as Eastern Conference Champion . So it was off to Dragway @ the Bend in South Australia...

Well the dust has settled after a long race day . Decided to double enter,2classes, for some extra runs/practice before next months grand final . I normally run no box 10.00-12.99 but am also able to run box 8 50-10.99 . Qualifying is off reaction times . Ended up #6 in no box and #2 in box ...

better buy some laundry Tex

i know you do an ok wheely . But . Would that be a possible result of altering factory k frame ? I know you boxed and full welded plus use a engine pkate . But must be some body twist ? Tex

Yes my block added around 90lbs . But then you can go onto wheels and tyres . My PBRs are about 34 lbs compared to Gyear radials @ 23lbs .Then there is 10"billet aluminium street rims verse 8" or light race rims . At least my 5 point bar was only a swap for rear seat weight . Tex

Doug . I hear you . I have run same shock setting for years . I do run radials so if track too far off i can turn . At least with pbr it will only turn a little before hooking not blow tyres off . I must say it is uncommon . Tex

Doug , was good to go a few rounds . Q2 was a spin so yes why I changed tyres , Semi was a chirp of the tyre . Dont feel it was deeper than usual but ...... I'm not thinking track was stellar prep . Tex

Well got back on track for first time since June . Tine to get some practice leading up to October . Ran at Sydney Dragway track champs round 5 . Wanted to try a couple minor things on lights . Started day on Goodyear 30x9 radials then went back to PBRs after turning 2nd qual . First 3...

Bob , If using a msd box with carb should be no issue unless it needs a trigger per cylinder. i know you are using COP . Might be worth asking msd or on their tech forum ? as much as i know 24 or 48 etc is just finer control . I also know with LS there is 24 or 48 (?) and now you can get 1 box...

wow thats a bummer . Bob can you instead use a pulley mounted crank trigger if reluctor is incorrect ? Tex

dealt with Keith before , nice guy Tex

Ok . Back to racing . Looks like i will get out again in about a months time . Will run a track championship rnd for practice , same price as a T&T and you will get 2 or 3 quals plus rounds plus often a better prep . I will use my GY radials for this and save the PBRs for national events This...
