The owner definitely tells it like it is, or at least the way he sees it. I appreciate that some of the builds are full blown restorations of the highest quality and other projects are more geared towards getting cars safe and functional with some paint repair and detailing. The black Maserati the shop fixed up was really cool…the work they did on the paint was incredible. It seems like I learn something from watching the show.

If I was you and don't know if the shop you want to sleeve cylinder #3 knows how to do that so it doesn't make cylinders #1 and #5 go out of round I would have them sleeve all four cylinders on the drivers side before starting the final machine work of boring ad honing them twocents
If you know and trust that they can install the # 3 sleeve without affecting the two adjacent cylinders roundness when they are done go forward with them scope work up

Good luck, either way up luck

There was a huge thread on Yellowbullet a few years ago about Lutz. He did a car for an armed forces member and screwed the guy something fierce. Had the car way longer than promised, charged way over the agreed price, and when the guy did get it back the crap welds were covered up with silicone sealer.

Guy had to have the pipes cut out and redone. Car would not cert. It was a total fustercluck.

That blue car is pretty cool. My 69 rr vert road like a cloud. This one has the right stuff, except I’m calling it 118k miles. Car gets a total resto with 18k on the clock?

Give Ron Davis a call. I've used their rad/shroud/fan package to cool a screw blown HEMI at 1622hp and an N/A W8 small block at 898hp. Both on gasoline and both street driven.

Top part looks like part # 0060 in here, which is a 68-73 340 throttle bracket. No pivot pin would be for a manual trans.

He's permitted decisions that can't be undone. Their website still showing 2023 charger and challenger lineups and it's 28 days to 2025.
It's not like they came out with a model or two that didn't sell, they turned the ship completely with the focus to EV and dropped their bread n butter power train. I've been really impressed with my 3.6 Pentastar but it's not a truck motor no matter what they gear it with. I've heard good things about the TT 1500 but I'm not interested, my diesel was complicated enough.

Ever my time I read about "direct connection" restarting or being any sort of resource I chuckle.

They cloned the 1st gen Edelbrock Victor BB heads, plus their BB Mopar single plane intake is a crusty Edelbrock Victor copy, too. They create nothing; they copy everything... and much of it quite badly.

The only thing R&D means with that company is Rob & Duplicate.


And duplicate poorly, I might add. Anything these people make is counterfeit copies of someone else's work.

Ask Broader Performance what they think about SpeedDisaster.


Lemme check.....nope. Still not on the vendor list at Summit.

I have never heard back from him.
Visited another Ford dealer on East coast,
Gave him my number after a test drive of a floor non hybrid model.
Never heard from again, although he was friendly,
Not sure they want to sell, or are they so panicked deer in the headlights they actually got a potential customer.



I used to love driving slowly thru a new car sales lot with a for sale sign in my window and see how many salesmen I could get to follow me around while I acted like I didn't see them... times have changed, you can't get any to follow your car around the lot.

Many years back when I installed a Hemi crate in my 68 R/T, I devised a factory looking bracket and kit to allow use of the existing accel cable and Kickdown linkage.
I have 12 brackets and hardware for the kits. The kit will bolt right on to a single 4 intake and looks like the factory made it.
It can also be used with a manual trans or Automatic as the pivot point for KD linkage is separate but included.
More than enough hardware (Nuts, couplings etc.) is included for all 12 brackets.
I've looked for a better pic of the kit installed but haven't found it yet frown
The threaded rod, couplings and locknuts are used to lengthen the Top and mid KD rods if needed.
My intention was to sell them individually but life happens wink
Anticipated retail is 150- 200 per kit.

I am asking 1000.00 plus shipping for all 12 kits and the design.

Will ship with pre payment, and references are available.

May separate at higher individual prices if there is enough interest wink
PM me here
Thanks 🍻

71 and 72 Plymouth B-body rear valances are different. 71s are straight across the top while the 72s are shaped to match the rear bumper.

71s are reproduced by AMD. 72s were not.

A 72 with dual exhaust cutouts, in rust/damage-free condition, is easily $500.

And you one only get one set, and your grandkids will appreciate it if you take care of yours.

I think the vents . tubes/ hoses supplied with a non air E body kit are different than an OE air car kit

Ive done a vintage air kit on a non air Cuda.
Routing those hoses is not fun with the dash pad in place

Let me re-state my earlier post.

Early MSD without full time +/- wires, engine RUNNING - disconnected the positive battery cable and reattached it and the engine stalled, could not relight it.

Checked for spark - none. Called MSD and the tech said I fried the MSD because of what I did. HE said I ended up full fielding the alternator and killed the box.

Sent the box in they said it could not be fixed.

This was probably in the late 90’s.

No clue if the newer boxes are protected because of the full time +/- wires and no clue if using a relay to use a kill switch would prevent this or not.

It's just the chain part that is used on some Mopars and Chevys, the gears don't interchange between brands.

Looking at Nittos or MTs in the 275/18 sizes, rims are 9".

Any opinions on what would work and still able to drive on the street the other 95% of the time?
Lot's of options, if it never rained.

Huh ??? Those lines are on the inlet side, what the hell do they have to do with outlet pressure ?!?!?

The statement about the drill speed is important. Its tough to find a drill that turns art 500 rpm. What I do is get the prime with a drill then switch to a speed wrench and turn it by hand. If I can maintain some pressure spinning it by hand then I figure its good to go.


True, sorry for the confusion. I was thinking of my entire oil system. It is all -12 to and from the remote filter mount, to and from the Accusump, to and from the Milodon oil pump and to the external return lines.
