    Rebuilding ThermoQuads: Who has some helpful tips and advice?

    Strongly Agree with @WileE. In the 70's when I was building Mopar's on a budget my beginning go to performance mod was a T-Quad. Went to the salvage yards every Saturday and bought the lowest mile T-quads I could find. The biggest issue was always a warped phenolic body even the low mileage...

    Most significant suspension upgrades, thoughts?

    Cap, I answered your question in post #34. Look at pic #2, it shows the 1/4" washer I added to bring it in line. As I said, I quizzed Peter about this back in 2014 and thought they fixed the issue back then.

    Reasonable upgrades for cruisers

    Mine is a 383 car and plan on low deck stroker with Aluminum heads , intake and water pump assembly. So RB or Hemi torsion bars or something else?

    '70 Charger - Thoughts on installing Fuel Line Check Valve to help reducing starting turns

    Makes sense as liquid distribution systems in industry typically have a check valve down stream of the pump to ensure the pump always has some pressure.

    '70 Charger - Thoughts on installing Fuel Line Check Valve to help reducing starting turns

    Thank you that makes ton of sense. I don't remember as kid in the 70s my parents having to crank our cars as much even in the winter. Granted the cars were technically newer back then but still.

    Larger torsion bars really help.

    '70 Charger - Thoughts on installing Fuel Line Check Valve to help reducing starting turns

    The vapor pressure of today's gasoline is lower than it was in the 60's when a lot of these cars were made, due to emissions regulations. Newer fuel injected cars don't care and always start cold, but carbureted cars need heat in the manifold to properly vaporize today's gas, and may run rough...

    '70 Charger - Thoughts on installing Fuel Line Check Valve to help reducing starting turns

    Fuel pump already has a check valve... you don't need two! They only drain back when something holds it open!

    Are these Bendix disk brakes on this K member? Is it worth using these parts to convert from drums?

    My new stock stroke 400 build

    I got the wiring out of the way today, and removed the exhaust manifolds. I ran into my first issue. I removed the A/C support bracket and test fit it on the 400 and it doesn't fit. I guess I shouldn't be surprised because I had to modify the performer intake for the bracket to fit. It looks...

    Flywheel rubs against inspection cover

    I had to laugh. Painting the rearend, springs, shocks, fenderwells and anything else that showed under the car was a thing back in the late 60s, early 70s in California. It was supposed to make the underside look "sanitary". Some guys even installed small lights in the fenderwells to show them...

    '70 Charger - Thoughts on installing Fuel Line Check Valve to help reducing starting turns

    I think I know why RPMs are sticking high after starting. My throttle return springs are losing tension and it is just keeping the throttle open more than it needs and not retracting back. I bent the springs just to see if it helped and it did. Ordered new ones though . Wow may have fixed...

    383 lifter question

    No idea. Dealer told me engine supposedly was rebuilt a couple years ago. I have no idea what cam I should even go with, another reason I like to tear entire thing down and inspect it. See how much engine has been bored over if any, etc.

    74 Charger Rallye 440 TX9

    Since the deck was cut so much and some off the heads I decided to go with a thicker gasket to get the comression down to use pump gas with the iron heads and also I was concerned about the intake fitment. I went with a SCE .093 gasket. The first set I got from Summit which did a full US tour...
