Running LS Connecting Rods
Most stroker cranks have a SBC 2.100 rod journal option and I have seen plenty of articles about using SBC rods and pins in a mopar, but nothing about running an LS rod. I think they have the same rod journal and pin size as a SBC. Has anyone done that…
Window Fuzzy Repair
I bought now fuzzies for my 72 SSP, but apparently they were not high quality. I have had the car on the road for a year and they are already ripped. Does anyone know how to repair this or get the outside pieces that are better quality?

One Piece Shoulder Seat Belts for 72 RR
Has anyone upgraded their 3 point two piece shoulder belt in a 71-72 car to the single piece style like used in 74 & up? My original two piece belts are ok, but the passenger side shoulder belt connector doesn’t hold the belt to the buckle tightly. My wife doesn’t feel safe with that so it needs to go ASAP. Also I like the modern 3 point belt design better and the two piece thing so I have been considering this anyway.
I have been looking at these…
Performer Intake vs 318 Ports
I thought some might find this interesting or for reference: this is a picture from my borescope looking from the plenum of a Performer 318-360 into stock 318 intake port.

Cold Start Misfire
This is a bit annoying: My engine is misfiring badly at cold start. 2 shots of the accelerator pump and it will usually fire right up and go to high idle, but it misfires really badly initially. It runs around 1000 rpm due to the cylinders not firing (…
Engine Stalling After Short Drive
My engine is stalling out and I’m not sure what to look at.
1974 318, stock long block, mild street cam (think stock 340), performer intake, headers, QFT slayer 600 vs that has run stupid, plug fowling in 20 seconds, rich since new.
I have not been able to get the car to run right in a few months with 10.4 afr at idle. I reset the carb back to my baseline settings for throttle position to restart turning. Something has happened that I can start the car and it will idle. I can drive it about…
Fuel Pouring Out of Secondary Boosters
My QFT SL-600 has been running like crap so I pulled it off to recalibrate it.
In the mean time I installed a 4175 I rebuilt a while ago. I was lazy and just cranked over until I got fuel in the bowls and checked I didn’t have a fuel leak somewhere before starting the car. It started fine, but I had fuel spurting out the air bleeds and pouring out the boosters. I wacked the bowl with a rubber mallet and the fuel stopped spurting out the bleeds, but still lots out the boosters. I am…
