That is how it starts.

all Mopar events in germany do not allow any post 1980 Mopars so people have to come with the real stuff and not modern junk

Looking forward to seeing your Charger. Now with 5 speed! Maybe I will dig out the Coronet.

Just booked 4 nights at the Carriage Inn, but the guy wouldn't give me the host rate, said he has no record of Chrysler Performance West Car Club. Anybody know a name at the Inn I ask for?
Taking the Dart again instead of the Coronet; I need the extra gear for the drive down.

I spoke with a person named Jasmine on a Sunday.

"Car Club" also is supposed to work.

Could you try during regular business hours tomorrow.

I will send a email to the Hotel contact.

thanks, please email me directly, [email protected] the results

I’ve seen this for years at Airtel hotel also. Seems like after 9-5, the night group is not on top of things as much.

This weekend I plan to start on the wheel tub modifications. I have always had tire rub with a full tank even when driving alone. Anyone that has tried fitting wide tires in these cars knows that you either raise the car or use narrower tires.
Mary will be joining me this time. I haven't had the car in Van Nuys since 2014. I've made a few changes since then. Hopefully I can get the A/C charged. The heater works great...will the A/C ?
I don't know if I'd do the Track Day but I'm always IN for the Malibu Cruise and everything else.
I miss the Picture Car Warehouse shindig. I liked looking at the old movie cars while chomping on a hot dog or a taco.

I could loan you a set of 2.76, 2.94 or 3.23 gears if you wanted to take the Coronet. No offense to the Dart.

With the cam and the 3000 stall converter, I wonder how much the highway gears would bog down the engine.
BTW, its a 489 rear.

 

[Dennis H]

Done.

Your converter would feel like a 6000 stall with the 2.76 gears!

 

[CoronetDarter]

Interesting offer. The Coronet had 3.23s before I swapped in the 3.55s. To make it worthwhile I'd go down to the 2.76s.

 

[autoxcuda]

First in the Pool !!!

I am going to have to take a closer look at my stash to make sure I have a good set. I've sold a few and converted a few 3rd members from 2.76s to 3.55 and 3.91 gears. Also....I could loan you a factory High Stall converter to make the combination better. I had it checked out at a shop but haven't used it yet. They were good for 2350 in a Hemi car. With the car lift and trans jack, we could have it done in a few hours.

That really depends on the convertor... Some 3K stall convertors are loose as the girls walking downtown... Others thats not really the case...

It's a Frank Lupo converter and it's very tame on the street. It loads up when you want it to.

This is getting interesting.
