Thanks, I wasn't sure what product that was. I switched quite awhile ago.

Racing has seared gear ratios, rpm, and terminal velocity into my brain.

"VR1" I assume is Valvoline 1 Racing Oil? They took all the good stuff out of that oil years ago and it is not suitable for flat tap cam engines without additives. With additives, do you really know what you have? It's better to go with an oil that is fully prepped for flat tap engine break-in...

140 mph with 3.91 gears is achieved at about 8700 rpm without overdrive, so something was/is amiss. It's very common for 3.23 cars to get upgraded with 3.91's and the speedo gear is not changed. In this case, 6100 rpm would have a speedometer reading of 140, but actual speed is around 115. Or...

Things cycle. There are a lot of people to whom Chrysler Corp died when Exner retired..... or in the 70's. Go back far enough and I'm sure there were people moaning when the Dodge brothers heirs sold the company to an investment firm, and then again to Walter P. Chrysler. I would not be...

Curious what your plans are for license and title. In TX does it get named on the title as "1970 Charger", "custom car", "experimental", or what?

Dremel to the rescue. Slice it down the middle, side chisel it, and then it should come right out.

Good tutorial for diagnosing no start issues:

Because the RR is comparably deficient in so many other areas, it is one of the basic things that can be used to "catch up" to the M3's overall advantage.

As stated, M3 hands down. Throw in wheels, tires, more specifics on suspension, big brakes, lightened car, stiffened uni-body, on the RR and it is doable with a whole lotta work. Then the M3 throws on some auto cross tires and takes the title right back.

"You don't get something for nothing" by Rush resonated with me since I first heard it in 1976. It didn't get any air play, so unless you bought the 2112 album you probably never heard it (last song B-side). It simply sums up my philosophy of life: Get off your butt, make things happen, and...

Who knows... but the end of print media may actually turn old car mags into collectibles in time? I could see it.

That's fine for about 5% of the population. This is beyond the ability most people these days.

I have... and I swapped them out after a year. The wheel well on the 73 Charger is huge. The short 295/50/15 only looks good if you you lower the car such that the top of the tire is pretty close to the lip of the wheel opening. A taller tire looks better on these cars.

I speak Contractor (just insert some form of the F word every third or fourth word or so), and German, which was bad choice. Spanish would have been a lot more useful here.

Spectacular show here in WA

This is exactly the issue. They just do not keep large amount on hand anymore, and reserve how much they give out in case there are multiple parties that want to withdraw. Imagine if you are the second guy to show up for a withdrawal and they tell you "they gave all the money to the last guy...

Remarkable as it seems, considering it is done a million times a day, there are sellers who don't trust bank wires. The last guy I suggested this to was convinced that I would steal all the funds in his account. He agreed to a bank cashier's check, but then balked when we went to his bank to...

If it was me, a 318 poly isn't making any power so I would drop in 2.76 or 2.94 gear and spend the Gear Vendors $ on something else.

You are getting poor customer service which is enough reason to change banks. BUT, don't expect to be able to walk up to the new bank's teller and withdraw $20k without scheduling and waiting..... especially when those funds just got there via wire transfer from somewhere else. The $10k limit...
