on the wagon I have one flat of preload on the right side, and zero preload on the left. the bar just barely touches the top of the left spring. once the driver weight is added to the car, the left side then preloads. On my transbrake 71 dart, I have an air gap the thickness of a nickel on both...

Sorry guys, cant get the video to load. Not the smartest computer wiz, anyway.

Took my 78 Volare wagon off the street and dedicated it to being a true footbrake car to use at some big money footbrake races and at another local track that wont let me run my dart because of the 2 step/transbrake. Best in street/strip trim was low 7.30's in the 1/8th mile. Last week, took...

man, I'll try to get one next week.

well, got the wagon fixed up and decided to go hit the test and tune this evening at the last minute. drove the car 18 miles to the track, ran a 7.392 ET in the eigth mile, and drove 18 miles back home to the garage. I love it.

was going to the track last friday night for test and tune. I figured I better run the valve lash before pounding on her too hard. took the valve cover off the driver side and found the mess in the pic. the nut and top half of the adjuster was laying in the top of the head. the bottom half of...

EVOS??!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY I OUTTA.......!!!! They are Jegs Sport Mag wheels. a cheap alternative to a set of Welds.

ain't got no story yet, Capt. I just put insurance on the wagon today so I have not got to go pony hunting yet, but I plan on going on patrol in the coming weeks. I can see it now. calling home from the police station and saying, "Honey, I need you to come get me out of jail, but go to the...

I just hope he has a friend with him that likes to tell everything. can you imagine when his friend tells the rest of his buddies that a woodgrain station wagon cleaned his clock? I better hush.....those fox bodies are light cars. nah.....he's gonna have to show me, lol!

I have noticed a young guy in town the last 2 or 3 weeks that has a fox body mustang with skinny tires up front and wide tires in the rear. pretty nice looking car, and it sounds pretty good. the 3 or 4 times I've seen him he is whomping at the red lights and always takes off fairly hard to make...

thanks to everyone for the kind words. the engine is a 340 stroked to 410 or 416? whatever a .040 overbored 340 with a 4'' crank comes out to. anyway, it has stage 2 ported Edelbrock RPM Performer aluminum heads, an Air Gap intake, 1 3/4 hooker headers, 1.6 ratio Harland Sharp roller rockers, a...

I have a another rear seat from a 78 aspen wagon available to me for free if I choose to go that route, and carpet is not a big deal. we have a fantastic upholstery guy in our car club here in town. that guy can freakin do anything and is fair with his pricing. I'm thinking about just leaving...

one thing that I really thought looked good was the front bumper. it is a 73-74 duster fiberglass bumper, and I can not believe how well it tucks into the body and looks factory. good info for guys wanting to "smooth up" the front end.

thanks Capt. I wanna do a little dressing up on the interior. I like the race look but it needs some carpet. It came with a roll cage kit as well. I am going to have it installed since it has the pro street style door bars.

its a true street car and it has really good street manners. I swear it surprised me at how good it behaves when driving it in traffic. it never got above 180 degrees and it was 94 degrees outside today. the pic of the car launching was taken at the local dragway. it ran a 7.452 at 93 mph in the...

thanks for the heads up on the front frame rust. I have been to look at one wagon a few weeks ago that had the rust that you speak of above the rear axle area, but I would have never known about the inside out rust area in the front. I feel the exact same way you do in regards to the guy not...

new member here, and I love the site. let me give a little background before I get into the goods here. I've always owned, raced, and driven mopar a-bodies and b-bodies. I still own a really nice 71 dart race car and 67 Belvedere street/strip car. however, about 4 years ago I noticed a 77...
