To all,We are really trying to have this car show. A lot of personal time, money and planning has gone into this show, and we are bound and determined to hold it. The weather has not cooperated with us. We are now going to hold the show on Sunday, the 18th of October, 2015. Please, please get...

Does it play tire squealing sounds as well?

This show is in year # 4 and is a pretty good show. If you are anywhere near the Culpeper VA 22701 area in October, you should drop in.

I don't think there is a performance difference between the 4 and 5 wire STOCK boxes. In fact, the 4 wire box superseded the 5 wire one after a while. The performance boxes are different internally and can't really be compared to the stock boxes. I have installed the 4 wire stock box in place...

Just curious, why were you swapping to manual brakes? More room or less weight? That is a bummer about the manual master cylinder, I hope I never need to replace mine. I also use a manual master cylinder (76 Volare) on my 65 Sport Fury and 65 Belvedere. The 76 M/C is a cast iron one and looks...

The spring is centered in the bracket (no offset). I don't believe there is more than 1/4 to 1/2 inch between the bracket and the frame. I don't think any of the spring hangers were offset from the factory. Direct Connection (Mopar Performance) makes some offset hangers but I do not think...

The front spring bolt is close to if not in line with the lower row of bracket mounting studs. When I removed the iso-clamp mess from my 79 Volare, I reversed the front hangers (redrilled the holes) to bring it back down to normal ride height (I gained over an inch when I removed the iso-clamp...
