Just curious as to what idle I can expect to achieve with the following set up. Right now I have it at 950-1000 rpm at operating temp, doesn't seem to want to go any lower, but I haven't really got into tuning yet. I just installed a MSD 6AL to work with the MSD distributor and my super...

Picked up a set of Lakewood 90/10 front shocks for my 66 coronet, ordered them from one of the online speed stores. The ad showed an open/empty eye ring for the lower mount but were also advertised to work with GM, and Ford, as well as MOPAR. They showed up with a rubber bushing and a pin/bar...

Question for the racing guru's. Putting a 66 coronet together for the 1/4" mile track only. The car was a 318 car, and now has a 400 in it. Is there any advantage or disadvantage to running the original T-bars versus installing a heavier set? The car is just a weekend fun at the track type...

Getting ready to install the fuel system on my 66 cornet. 10 gal fuel cell in the trunk, cradled in the spare wheel well, fuel line through a grommetted hole to an elec. pump, to a filter, to the regulator up front. My question is for the pump and the filter, they will be mounted in the rear...

Curious what size batt would you put in the trunk of a 66 coronet, that is going to run at the 1/4 (1/8) mile track only. Running a +.030 over bore 400 with 10.5:1CR, and a Hyd roller cam (comp cams XR292HR-10). Running an alternator so the batt doesn't have to do all the work. Just finished...

Just wondering if anyone runs mufflers on their "race-only" car? I don't have any experience with (sanctioned) racing on a actual track, my fun has always been on the street. So, if mufflers are used, what do you use? Chambered/Baffles/Glass-paks? I'm finding out that the exhaust system has...

Looking for any feedback about a brand of converter that I'm considering for my car. FTI Performance, "Street race Converter", 3600 stall Anybody use FTI, or heard any good or bad about them? Thanks.

Looking at converters for my car and came across one from "TSI" (3000-3400 stall) which is sprag-less. I know the sprag works like a ratchet, locks in one direction and unlocks in the other, and helps with shifts? What I don't know is if "sprag-less" is a good thing or a bad thing, or if it...

Does anyone index their spark plugs? I remember reading an article about doing that, suppose to help with ignition/flame formation? It sounds way past what I'm building but I'm curious if it's really done and if so, whats tangible advantage... if any?

Looking for anyones thoughts on "Hays" converters. Putting a dedicated race car together and hays is one of the brands that I came across. Thanks in advance for any input.

Just got home with this! My longtime friend/racer/engine builder put this together for me. It's going in a 66 Coronet. Some numbers: 400 block +.030 on the bore, big valves in the heads, CompCam Hyd roller, extreme energy 292, domed pistons for a 10.5 : 1 CR. Man! I can't wait to get this...

Looking for some feedback/your thoughts on this question. Building my first dedicated 1/4 mile car on a limited budget buying the best stuff I can (translation - long term build). The car, 66 coronet with a +.030" bore 400 cu motor running about 10.5-1 compression. Running a comp cam...

Putting a 66 coronet together for 1/4 (1/8) mile straight line racing. I just put the dash together and the console. I'm wondering if anyone has pics of their race car electricals that they would be willing to share? I'm thinking of putting the ignition (MSD) and other needed relays under the...

New Guy question: I'm building a 66 Coronet for the 1/4 mile drag and it currently has drum brakes at all for corners. I don't think I will need disk for the front right away but I hope to get the car up to speed that requires them eventually. So of course my question is what spindles will...
