He racing brackets Fred or what? Still Mopars? Cool when you find some of these guys who've been doing it since way back when and still doing it today, like Ronnie.

Door removal

Stewart, I was in Pomona as witnessed Ronnie "blowing the door off" at about half track.

Those doors look like they were as thin as paper. Slightest opening for the wind to get in at speed and they shred.

Same kinda construction for the doors on my Colt --- yep, they will tear - especially if the 1/8" Lexan windshield comes in -- whoops

Of course, everyone has one of these, right -- or all of them ??

What exactly was the Drag Seminar guys?

Usually in late fall, early winter, Chrysler would have a two of three day seminar. Talks were given by Tom Hoover and various other people, describing any and all details of the drag racing program - motor - trans - electrical - chassis - etc. And also at that time, tours of various race shops in the area and the latest upcoming race programs. Very informative and the chance to meet all the people involved.

OKAY --- THIS IS A TEST
IF YOU ARE AN OLD-TYMER, LOOK CLOSELY AT THESE TWO COMPARISONS --- TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE "RESTORATIONS" :-(

Well on the Duster I don't think they had that type of dual distributor in those days. Not sure on the Landy car unless it's the plug wires.

Jack, you are the Winner --- that is just another example of how the new "restoration" professional's will bend the truth. At that time, the ignition of choice was the twin Mallory SuperMag, it was set up like that and Blue in color - but that is a late model MSD piece. It is this type of latitude with the "restorations" that enflames me. Also, both of those cars should have studs that support the motor, thru the motor plate and if you were really savvy, the studs, nuts, and washers would have been Titanium. I bet not a one of the "NEW" Collectors have a clue about those facts. HemiFred would know and Reed would know. But not many else.

I had read that the initial coupling for the dual mag/distributor set-up was fabbed up from a Hilborn fuel injection pump housing, at least that's what Dick Landy was using. This was circa '70, and I know Landy used that particular style, but don't know for how long. Have pics of it in an old book of mine.

Fred and others, that is the problem with the "collector" cars and owner/restorers today. No sense of accuracy or History. As someone recently said, "they are just the Corvette guys from 10 years ago"

Fred's car even has the original S&M motor in it, all 528 cubic inches
