Selling my ‘Cuda

I know this isn’t a classifieds page, but this page makes the most sense. I’ve got a ’67 ‘Cuda Vintage Stock Car I’ve been racing the last 2 years, and now it needs to find a new home. The front stub is a 70 ‘Cuda, with 2×3 tubing from the trans crossmember back. 9″ with discs, 16 gallon cell,…

Automatic trans question

OK, strange one here. My son & I are building an enduro car to take to Texas this fall. Using a 91 360 out of a 1- ton van. It has an overdrive 727 behind it that always worked great. Not planning to use the overdrive gear, just 3rd gear. Does anyone know of any inherent problems with using…

Checking my ECU?

In IMCA Hobby Stock we’re required to run a factory-type ignition system (yes, an HEI is legal, but that’s not the point of this post). Is there any way to check a Mopar electronic ignition’s ECU (or ECM…I’ve heard it called both) to see if it’s functioning properly? In my experience it seems…

Throwing in the towel…

As much as we hate to do it, my son and I have given up. We had a massive run of engine problems this season, ending with our one GOOD motor blowing up catastrophically at the IMCA Supernationals last week. We’ve finally decided that enough is enough. Damon wants to spend more time (and more…

Does anyone have an early 340 exhaust manifold?

Thanks!!

Small block adjustable rocker arms?

Any ideas, or does…

A-body idler arms

I noticed the other day on our Demon that we’re getting a lot of vertical movement out of the idler arm when the steering wheel is turned. I know already that there is about .025″ difference in size between the bushing in the idler arm and the outside diameter of the bolt’s shoulder. But at the…
