I'm looking for skinny 15" chevy pattern chrome slots ifn anybodys gottem.
Crower Cams in California might be a good alternative. Not one Chineese anything.
I've attached some pics of what I used but the stock front crossmember has such a deep dip that really low ride heights may cause a really loud...
I had the chance to talk to Al Vanderwoode of Flying Ducthman fame. He told me that a bunch of the cars that looked like that stuff your showing...
After seeing that I feel sooooo much better.
Dude in a parking lot with a BBC/tunnel ram was bet the motor would'nt live with a brick on the pedal WOT for 30 seconds. Took the bet. At 20...

They were used from 33-38 except long wheel base 34 Plymouth. The dip in the middle was different from one year to the next. Some of them had the...
Carter 9400's should work pretty well. They're 400 cfm carbs. I seem to remember Part # 9401 being for use on Chrysler products too. The throttle...
Might want to check sales codes D56 and D91 for 73 A-bodies. http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/
It's been awhile since you posted this but maybe this will help. The only cars that I'm aware of that a 727 is tight in is the pre-67 A body cars....
Because the tires and wheels are easier to rotate now. Kinda like going to a lighter flywheel; the engine gains rpm easier. Now, so do your tires...
This shows the 72 up 340 manifold, should be same for 74-6 360 A-body. They are a little less pricey than the 70-71. These use a heat stove for...
Cool
OK my memory ain't great so here goes. Chrysler still used 8.75's through 73. I remember them in performance cars and trucks. The 73 340 A-body...
This is a lot different car than you're building but here it is. You should be happy with that rear end. There are non-adjustable (green bearings)...
Here are some ideas. If you use a 340 or 360 cyl. head the 273-318 A body manifold will be restrictive. I used a 360 with 72-up 340 manifold for...

Ever see a sprint car or airplane with an electric pump?
This approach is different and requires some fabrication but it's working OK on my 40 Plymouth. The steering gear is early 60's full size Ford and...
Any of you guys seen a tube axle on a old sprint car with wishbones that used a splined right side axle attachement and the splines were helical?...
I'm wondering about the effect of pushing the spring from the front. Also, I'm thinkin' springs aren't great way to locate the position of the...
I've had good luck watching a vacuum gauge while driving the car in order to determine vacuum level when the engine stumbles. If it stumbles with...
The vacuum source for the distributor should be ported vacuum. Check the vacuum reading for the hose that is connected to the distributor. It...

Consider that any suspension system in use today applies the forces from driving and vehicle weight to the most outside corners of the chassis....
