Another good one, Kim Novak

Nice 68 GTX it is too, my personal favorite years welcome to FBBO from NorCal Sierras

You got a great wife to do that for ya... Welcome to FBBO from NorCal Sierras nice 69 RR Vert too

I started out in the low 14`s and I was a little dissapointed in that ET but with nothing more than swapping carbs and tuning them, changing timing curve and lowering tire pressure I was able to get it down to low 13`s. I agree it`s fun and sometimes frustrating trying to get the same basic...

AND, don’t let the better half watch the op gauge!!! I got lucky, no pressure got caught in time. I trust her more now.

looks like the lift was all the way up, i stop a little less than a foot from the top max, and I'm 6ft. tall and can walk under it. the car will easily sway a bit if its pushed at all. lifts can be scary, especially chinesium ones

I agree. but that was when going to a .96" TB was thought to make a car ride like a dump truck, 30? years ago. I wonder if his thinking has evolved and/or if he would acknowledge it has, many, no one in particular, do not seem to have that ability.

My mistake :thumbsup: no offence intended :poke:

A bit sensitive are we? You want reasons: They are not provable "stiffening" plates in any real-world sense. Their promotion as such takes advantage of those starting in the hobby of leading them to do something that only can be defended as "do no harm" that's usually disclosed after...

Rick Ehrenberg isn't "God" but he did have some strong opinions worth considering. He was a proponent of these reinforcements. He was a stickler for improved handling.

You can call me a boring old man...but I think you have a great car as it stands and you should maybe re-think your goals. Why 11 seconds? What prompted that goal? Once you get to 11's you'll want 10's and so on. I'm in a similar boat to you, but just have a few more years of thinking. I'm at...

Ok look, we get you're dead set against the plates but will you give it a rest ! What's the big deal if someone wants to install them, adding them will do no harm and the price sure as hell isn't breaking the bank.

The last one that I used VR-1 for break in went flat within 10 minutes. I have done two since then, (one being the rebuild of the one that went flat), with the Lucas Break in oil and both broke in without a problem. Cheap, and easy insurance. I use VR-1 in all of my flat tappet engines, after...

Message sent on how long the upright pipes are~ Thanks!!!

Installed Hot steel rivets provide nearly a lifetime of high clamping force. I am unsure if the LCA rivets are installed hot, but I have never seen/read about one being loose, and if that was the concern, the 1/8" "stiffening plate" here would be nothing more than a poor band aid to prevent that...

The General Lee has to be the #1 for me too even though I do get a little tired of seeing crappy "tribute" versions at car shows. How about the Nash Bridges '71 Cuda? What about the Mannix Mopars? I have no respect for the Knight Rider Trans Am.

I deleted my post after realizing they were in fact only riveted at the strut bar location. The rest was welded. But I guess I should have included that in the post. However I see nothing wrong with adding the plates.

So far. 8 two inch springs, 8 shorter springs. The end caps for the short springs are longer. With the caps they are all the same length. The head end is all the same. Comp. Cams has a number to call, but I was on hold for too long. Will try again. I suspect I need the thinner caps, and will use...
