Bead roller is 100% the way to go in my opinion. If you send me the stuff I would do it for you but probably not the most convenient thing to ship.

Just take your time and make the templates perfect. If you cut it shy don't guess, even add some folded tape to the edge and trim again until perfect. Then your parts will fit perfect. If you're bead rolling trace your patterns with a sharpie and cut your parts at the outside edge of the...

I like doing work like this. I would use poster board for templates. Aluminum sheet, bead rolled for aesthetics and added stiffness. Also would use rivnuts and button head fasteners instead of rivets in case I needed access.

It's from Holley but I believe it's the same tank.

On my 69 Charger with efi tank (but stock dimensions) the middle of the tank is the lowest point to the ground and that's where the stock sender pulls from. Slosh isn't as much a problem for a carbureted car (to a point) but not much for a stock engine as you have to empty a fuel bowl before...

As mentioned, may be fuel delivery. Empties the front bowl and when you go wot it starts draining the rear.

It should be showing 14.7 if calibrated for gasoline, it doesn't know if there's any ethanol in the tank. So 1.0 lambda will display 14.7 no matter if it's E10 or zero ethanol.

The entire engine is filled with components loaded much heavier and have a higher failure rate than the thrust. ALL bearings, the entire valvetrain. But no concern about those, just the thrust which is the lowest failure rate of all of them. How many millions of cars with a clutch defeat...

Yes of course they aren't contributing to thrust but they are bearings under load with no oil pressure during initial cranking just the same.

For those thinking clutch in will hurt the thrust what are you doing about connecting rod and main bearing loads when cranking? (from compression). 150-250psi and 14.66 square inches on a 4.32 bore. Uh oh! :)

Probably 100 years. Complete non-issue.

Sure but it's such a pain (no retractors for shoulder belts) who actually uses them? I didn't.

Wow! This is awesome. What a great running combination

Oh I'm not up to date. You're quicker than me already. Very nice!

Thanks guys! BSB67, your car is awesome as well. If you put headers on that thing I'd have to run for my life.

Not crazy fast but a fun street car.

How old are the tires, what pressure and sufficient burnout? I got a 1.619 60ft with road race tires, manual trans, 4.56 gears and ss springs. Gearing is torque multiplication so a numerically higher gear results in more wheel torque.

If you don't want to rev it why not stick with a stock cam? I would think even stock 6000-6500 would work great. I have a comp cams 24-601-5 227/249 107. Having had it in a "stock/crate" 426 I wouldn't recommend using it but may be a usable core for you?

I use no gasket. Clean with lacquer thinner and a very thin smear of rtv. (I like Toyota fipg). I did this on my hemi years ago with TTI headers. Filed them to make sure they were straight. Red loctite on bolts. Perfect.

I have zero brand loyalty. Looks like a super nice survivor! Congrats and enjoy. :)
