I know that this post by Fast68 makes you realize how important the little things are. He is the best at it and I know from my years of Mopars if you just stick to the basics and do that right you can have a good running combo. Its not as much rocket science as some think but doing the simple basic things right to get the most out of a simple combo. That makes anyone proud of what they have. I remember years back my 340 Dart running low 12's and it was a nice basic combo. A buddy put a 396 in a VEGA and was going to clean my clock he says ! We raced at the track and it was a hot day as I was slow in the 12.20's but the et's tell the story:
My 340 Dart......12.23
His 396 VEGA......13.30

I loved having him eat his words. Ron
