I read in Mopar Action many years ago about a 68 or 69 ‘Bee with a stroked 400 with Mopar aluminum heads. He’s last name was Daughtry I think. He was running low 10’s I believe. At some point RE claimed the car had dipped into the high 9’s. Does anyone have any pictures or more info on this car...

I finally replaced my old almost bald MT drag radials on the rear of my 69 RR. They were 275 50 15, and looked very nice tucked under the car. I was trying to find a regular radial tire in those same dimensions with no luck, unless I wanted to go to another drag radial. I settled on a BFG 295 50...

I bought these MANY years ago, thinking bigger must be better. My RR has smaller bars that I’m happy with. I have no idea of the brand. Never installed, stored in garage. The super trusty Harbor Freight says 1.15”. I’d like $50. I’m in Marin County CA 94956.

I bought this used for my 408 Dart. It definitely whines, as the wear pattern isn’t good, with the pinion running off the outside of the ring gear. It’s a cone type, and I don’t know the history of it, but it seemed a bit “grabby”, like someone set it up tight? It worked, but needs attention. I...

I’ve read RE’s articles about all subjects. I’m pretty sure he said we can mix dot 4 and 5 with no issues. I don’t know if he actually did that, but I’m thinking about it. It’s actually on my motorcycles front disc assembly. The master leaked, and the dot 4 ruined the whole thing. It stops well...

My car didn’t get driven this last winter. I keep desiccant inside, and drain the water and refill it every month or so. It now has some very light mold looking substance on the soft dash padding. What is the best way to remove this? I’ve used rubbing alcohol in the past, but don’t know if...

I ordered a Engineered Cooling Products big block aluminum radiator to replace my previously damaged and repaired brass unit. My 383 RR came with the 22” job. Many years ago I added the 26”. I cut away both sides of the support to fit it in. Now I’m reading here, that the 26” is moved to the...

Im tired of running too hot. I have a previously repaired 26” brass radiator, going to aluminum. Has anyone had experience with Engineered Cooling Products? ACC is out of stock.

….has no one made a big block manifold with integral valley plate. The Max wedge Mopar crate motor had such a manifold, just like the 426 Hemi. I would hope TF would step up, since I’ve given up on Ed.

Good day everyone I’m currently running a Willwood front disc conversion kit from drums on my 69 RR. I installed them many years ago, and they work pretty well. I’m almost sure they are only 10” rotors, but I’m going to check them today, along with the id of my 15” centerline wheel. Summit...

I just bought the Blue Ray from Amazon. Looking at the cover I thought it was going to be an Asian version, not in English, but it was. There’s a directors cut in there, and I’m pretty sure he says they bought 8 Challengers? I had always heard 3. Did everyone notice the ‘70 four door dark blue...

My 69 RR has the Willwood front disc conversion I installed years ago. I’m pretty sure they’re 10.75 rotors. There’s plenty of room between the caliper and 15” rim. My 69 Dart I just sold had the 73 up 12” brakes the last owner installed, on 15” steel wheels. Does anyone know of a brake kit that...

Just saw this add for Volvo cars in a 1971 Time magazine. Strange *** ends…

I bought this complete front end assembly from Capp many years ago, which I understand was purchased by QA1. It certainly looks like the same K frame. I didn’t open the box for a long while, and when I did, voila it has two driver’s side LCAs. Capp was gone by then, so I blew that one. I need...

Hey everybody! I remember back in the eighties it seemed like the Max Wedge heads where always sought after. I wasn’t aware of any aluminum heads back then, but maybe Brodex? Any how, what’s the consensus on how much cfm they would flow? Even though the port entrance is larger, did the use the...

I know this subject has been discussed endlessly, but this might be a bit different. I converted my 69 Dart over to a volt meter per Mopar Action (RE), and that works quite well. On my 69 RR I’d like to keep my amp meter which works fine. What if I bypass the bulkhead connection to and from the...

I could use some info from you gearheads out there please. My ‘69 RR 383 came with a 22” radiator. I later installed a 26” 4 row brass job. Many years ago I hit a tree and ruined a couple of the furthest rows back from fan contact, maybe 6 or 7. I bought a plastic shroud for it, but the fit was...

Any of you gearheads tried the NYTs game called Wordle yet? Great with am coffee

This engine I believe was stored in a barn, at a now closed dump. It’s not seized, and looking into the oil fill hole, the rocker gear is quite clean. I’m hoping someone pulled it for a project and it’s OK. Does anyone know about the passenger side engine mount? Truck maybe? I’d love to stroke...

Has anyone out there installed the QA1 k member, and if so, how does it work/feel. The reason I’m asking, is because I purchased the entire front end kit from now non existent Capp many years ago, and never installed it. It’s taking up precious room in my small garage.
