Does day 2 have to be what was available for that year of car or just in the era. I ran super tricks back when they came out in the early seventy's on my 68 roadrunner. Actually i'm still running them on my 67 barracuda today. Same Accel Super coil also . Just sold off my original Hurst Super shifter from the early 70's.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

Might be kinda hard to see, but look at the rear 1/4 glass of my road runner. Those are vintage "Holley Equipped", "Skyjackers", and "Cragar Hot Pipes" (whatever those are?) decals from back in the day. That's my favorite part of the car, lol. They're old, cracked, faded, etc. Love it!

you mean "purple hornies" ? Purple Hornies sound great. And I think I saw that they are being made again!

Air shocks to compliment the excessively wide tires, mounted on the improperly backspaced deep-dish mag wheels.

Here's some 'day two' from these parts...
With a license plate in back...
Just saw him out the other day...
A little on the radical side... Doesn't look like a day 2 car to me, that's years later people were doing this stuff.

I was looking through some of the ignition parts I have for my Pro Stock Hemi project to see what would suit & need some input please. I think the mag would be too much, is the Mallory double life too old? How about one of the tach drive units, I have factory cast & aftermarket alloy units. I think I have one of these coils hidden away somewhere, is this the right one?

Yes that is a super coil but the decal looks newer than the 1970 one that I still run on my Barracuda. But, who would know that it's not old school.

Make sure you stick some white lights w/toggle on the dash mounted down on the back of the traction bars or hook a toggle to the reverse lights so you can cruise with them on meaning you are looking for a race.

Tex I think the old Edelbrock TM6 ("B" block) or TM7 (RB Block) single plane really look period correct to me. I though they called them Tarantula intakes? Cable tach drive dist. Mushroom lifter cam

Have fun degreeing the cam LOL !! I had one and was bound and determined to use it ... till I tried degreeing the cam. I'm no quitter but I finally threw in the towel on that one and sold the unit. If they'd make the idler gear the same size as the crank gear it wouldn't be a problem but they're not. And the marks are on the three gears, not just the crank and cam. So when you turn the motor over you loose all reference. That seemed to be my problem anyway. But I don't think a gear drive was a "day 2" mod in anyone's budget unless you had a pro stocker.

Make sure you stick some white lights w/toggle on the dash mounted down on the back of the traction bars or hook a toggle to the reverse lights so you can cruise with them on meaning you are looking for a race. Never heard that before. We always just stopped at McDonalds till they asked us to leave. Must have been because we did't buy any food. LOL

I've installed and use Donovans, Milidons and Keith Black gear drives on 426 hemi and B and RB wedge motors with instructions and by memory. Start with the cam dowel placed around 4 o clock by looking at the front of the motor and go from there. If the lifters are close to being even heights in the lifter bores your close Once I have it where I want the intake lobe center I mark all three gears with matching mark with a drimel tool

Never heard that before. We always just stopped at McDonalds till they asked us to leave. Must have been because we did't buy any food. LOL Most cars rode around with the reverse lights on because you usually couldn't reuse the back drive linkage from the column with an aftermarket shifter. The column collar was left in the reverse position so that you could turn the key to lock and get the key out. When we saw a car go by with the reverse lights on, we'd say "there goes another Hurst shifter"

In Hindsight, I would mark the cam and crank gears and forget about the idler gear even being there. That's what was throwing me off. And I had no instructions for the set I had.

But the gear drive whine when cruising, you'd have been the coolest day 2 guy out there back in the day! I like the way you think! As it happens I do have a Don Carlton Pro Stock Hemi in my Duster with a Ramchargers (by Donovan) gear drive so why not have one in the "day 2" car as well!

Is that Hemi motor one of the destroked 396 C.I old Pro stock motors? if so do you race it and if so where do you shift that motor at?

I would use that in a heartbeat Have fun degreeing the cam Degreeing cams is easy. Put cam in, and find intake lobe max lift (Centerline.) Lock cam in position, or at least mark the cam gear to block position. Install degree wheel, find TDC, and zero degree wheel. Rotate crank so degree wheel reads the installed centerline you want. Install timing chain or idler gear without moving cam or crank position. Done.

You're deviating so far from "day 2" stuff you may as well back half the car, put a full cage in it, gut the interior and throw a new paint job on it !!
