We can all read up on valvetrain geometry theory. That being said, Mopar heads have a fixed rocker shaft location. They also should have a fixed distance between the center of the valve stem and the shaft centerline for a given valve lift. The pushrod length only changes how far the adjuster is...

Are you are taking about the pattern on the valve being towards the exhaust side? If so either the rocker is too long (likely) or the pedestal where the shaft is mounted isn’t spot on for the lift at the valve. or are you talking pushrod clearance in the head That may need clearancing which is...

For sure. Haven’t had much luck this year. Many very good runs with not much to show. What comes around goes around. If the car keeps running how it has been and my side keeps up. hen it’s only a mater of time before notching another win. Doug

Bill Bader Jr is still in charge. Ice cream has come from the same suppplier for years. Cost had risen significantly, thus the increase at the counter. Doug

I'm sure they will fix it. But the time and trouble to diagnose and repair is frustrating. I would not be happy. Labor, time, fluid. I will bet none of that is covered. I guess we will find out. Doug

Thats who made me a 4th rd victim. Megan does a great job. Her husband is also every good. He was runner up on Sunday. Doug

Make sure all the parts are in the reverse detent as well. Other wise there can be interfernce with the reverse fork. I left the ball out once. Couldn't get it to shift in 2nd. Doug

Don't drop the pan. Buy a pan gasket. Replace the front rubber seal with the one out of the new gasket kit. Remove all small peices of the cork gasket at the front of the pan. Use good quality RTV ( I like Ultra Grey) to seal the corners where the cork was previously. No need for any cork. Use a...

Decided to run the NDRL 9.25 index in Buckeye as well to simplify things. so same dial all weekend. Results were not outstanding. Picked the wrong times to have my 2 worst lights in eliminations. Car was fantastic except one run. Lost rd 1 In the NDRL F/X shoot out. Car wouldn't run the number...

Look at post #7. Dodge truck Denso from the 90's. connects the factory wiring using the factory regulator. Bolts in with slight clearance grinding. Don't remember the part number as it was built in 2003. I did have to swap from a sepertine pulley to the V groove. Doug

I made my own out of Lexan. If it's a hard top you will need to build a tube to support if you want them in a fixed position. I've done a few. My 63 hard top actually went up and down in the factory tracks. Used 1/4". Reattached the stainless from the factory windows to the Lexan with RTV. They...

Personally I believe quench is overrated. Does it help with detonation, yes. Will it overcome insufficient fuel octane, poor chamber design, compression to high, camshaft to small? No. Is there is a difference between a .038" gasket at zero deck vs an .050" gasket at +.012" deck? Yes, the...

We are running NDRL and Buckeye S/S Saturday and Sunday at Columbus. Practiced the tree tonight. Started adding weight to get to 9.25. Track prep wasn't the greatest on runs 2 and 3. We will zero in tomorrow. I did like the R/Ts though. Doug

Jetting will be based on fuel Specific gravity, along with reid vaporazation pressure, octane, or if it's oxegenated. Listings I found for Turbo blue were .735. AV 100LL averaged .680-.720 Plug the reid VP is lower in AV gas 5.3 vs 5.8 for turbo blue. Higher reid numbers will lightoff easier in...

Diamond, Weisco, Racetech all make anything you want. Most of time Ross can as well. If you were to buy new pistons? Yes there are plenty of flat tops available. But the original poster already owns the domed pistons and cam. Both are old school, but that doesn't mean they won't work. I would...

I have your rocker arms. And we will have a beer together this year. Doug

Why can't you use a dome piston? And nobody uses domes? Really? Yes you may have to trim an edge fo piston to head. Depends on what compression you want. There is no mention of how much dome there is on this poster's TRW's. An Open Chamber Edelbrock with the small TRW 11.5 compression dome will...

I was there that day. Met Ross back when his Belvedere had small block. Too bad about the crash. It was a very, very nice car. And a 8 second Hemi car to boot. Doug

Mopower Mania is less than 2 weeks away. If you have been to this event you need to go. Summit Motorsports Park 4 days for those of us who have served our time in the work force. Or for those with vacation saved up. Biggest gathering of Mopar race cars anywhere. Not to mention fireworks, car...

A 360 pump is a 360 pump. Doesn't matter the year. Doug
