Make sure you know for certain that all of your flat tappet lifers are spinning in the bores before you degree the cam, and button the entire engine together...............

When checking your neutral safety switch at the track, don't forget to put your car back into "Park" before making a quick run to the parts store.

When backing out of your trailer and the car comes to

When coming back home for a race dont assume the road is a little rough, it could be the trailer tire shredding apart. dont ask me how I know..........as I pull into a steak and shake parking lot to eat. John

When you go to your favorite gas station and pull up to your favorite pump and proceed to put a full tankof gas in your cummins powered truck after a party. Drive it home and never batt an eye. Kinds makes some nice white smoke the next morning.

Don't ask me how I know.

You are running an index class and need to slow down a little more. All of your tricks are in a MSD 7531 box like huge timing retard in low gear only. Don't get happy and lower the shift point without first looking at the value you have in RPM drop to recognize high gear. Pulling 22 degrees in low gear slow you down a lot. Pull the normal 22 degrees in low go to high and the engine is not coming back to life. [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean]. 7,800 converter. 8,100 shift point. RPM drop to recognize high gear 400. Still pulling 22 degree in high gear. Instead of running 5.95 you just ran a 6.60.

Make sure you fire bottle shipping screws are removed before running the car.

You are still running an index class with a MSD 7531 for your tricks. You first decide to run on the DOTS. You are testing and running dead on. Next day qualify under. OK just shift sooner. The car picks up a tenth. You just jumped off the rev limiter now that you are in high gear. 5.80 on a 6.00 you probably just lost the race.

your 12 year old son wants to help you change the gears on your 70 challenger convertible, you go gather tools and come back to see the car three feet in the air...... jacked up from the fuel tank!!

Still index racing MSD 7531 Yata Yata Yata. Still running the DOTS but scared to shift early. Pull a ton of timing in low gear. Car does not run hard enough to hit the DOTS but is way to fast. First round of ellimination. What to do What to do.

Still running the index. Got all the MSD 7531 down pat. Running dead on 6.001, 6.003. Nothing can go wrong. Racing a combo race 6.00 agains 7.00. Mopar in the other lane running 7.0. Its the finals. Do the burnout stage car cuts off. [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean]. Fuel pump just took a dump.

Get home and realize the fuel pump fuse in the ARC panel is blown. Put another one in blows again. Start digging. The wire is pinched where it exits the panel.

When testing and the ARC panel opens up going down track. You are running 150 MPH 1/4 mile don't just reach up and close the panel and tighten the screw. It may have just pinched the wire later causing problems at the worse time.

When pulling the car off the trailer and using the secretary of your garage to guide you off.. never assume that she looked at both sides while backing off or you may have the left front of the car get stuck in the middle of the trailer..DAMHIK!!!
