Here's how I feel about tuning a street cruiser. Not too much is needed. As long as it starts well, runs smooth, doesn't ping, and doesn't hesitate, you are good. A race engine is different. You are trying to get the last few horses out of it, although that isn't really necessary if you are ET...

My 64 Poly has the stock cam and 2 barrel and starts and runs fine at 10° before. I can imagine with a little cam 10-15° would be it's happy place. Remember, the more initial you have, the more total advance you get. At 3000 rpm it should be around 32° with the vacuum advance disconnected at the...

Here's the story of one of the 64 cars when it got it's first Gen2 Hemi. Interesting read and some great early Hemi photos. https://www.ramchargers.com/index.php/component/sppagebuilder/page/87

Love that one. Let's see, whic car would I rather have? I want the Wilys! :thumbsup: :rofl:

They did have those early didn't they. Probably only straight 6's with 9" brakes.

That should be 5 on 4 1/2" like big bolt Mopar. You said these were 5 on 4" which is small bolt circle Mopar.

Those were the days!

Oh boy, Everybody made them back in the 60's and 70's. If there are no stamps on it, it could be anyone's guess.

That's a cool find.

My 66 and 70

We did too. We cast a lot of Hurst T handles.

Or the old "Keep on Truckin" sticker. LMAO

That was on the Iverson Automotive site I had mentioned earlier. You could smooth the old one out and sand cast it in aluminum. They can be flat on the back so that is easy to mold. It would take a few tries because of the small details.

I love those old dealer emblems. Most were pot meral and pitted bad. Drill and tap for a machine screw?

What the heck, it's only money! I pulled the trigger on those headlight bezels, ordered a battery hold down, a trunk key blank and a cool Ramcharger sticker. I like to trash up my cars with a single sticker in the upper center of the back glass. Something that means something to me. A...

If it is thick enough, you can sand the pits out and polish the zinc. A customer of mine did that with a pair of tail light housings off a Cameo pick up. They were thick pot metal though. Aluminum can be straightened and the anodizing removed, sanded and polished. Clear coat if you choose but...

Those look great. Pitted pot metal is the worst.

When I said plating I meant any chroming or anodizing. They are probably stainless. Harder to straighten but easier to polish. It still takes many steps.
