Engine bay looks great 👍. Good idea to fire it up at least once every 2 weeks. When you pull it out the garage would be great to drive it around the block to ensure the tires don't end up in the same spot when returning to the garage to prevent flat spots. It's always great to listen to the awesome idle. You can feel depression and just by firing up the engine you got instant cure...😆 muscle car therapy 💪.
I am counting down the days to see you run the 1/4 mile !!! If I'm excited about this and your other subscribers are equally excited then you must be off the charts !!! For you it must be like "FINALLY" !!!! What will she actually run !!!! You better bronze those ET slips !!! I'm excited for you !!! Best of luck !!!
I love your videos. Your car looks great and sounds awesome too. I can't wait for warmer weather so we can enjoy our cars. Mine is finally going for paint in the early fall. It's a 71 Elcamino 454 LS7 4spd
Hi Joe, I just installed an edelbrock 30-454QFT mechanical fuel on my 71 El Camino. It runs cold at 6.5 to 7 PSI which is perfect. After running about 20 minutes or so it is down to about 1.5 psi. The fuel filter is not clogged at all. It has a single ⅜ fuel line with no return and has a vented gas cap which I removed for test purposes and didn't change anything. What do you think could be the problem or is this a normal occurrence? Thanks in advance and I absolutely Love your videos. Doug Gustafson
On your converter, lower your two step RPM to 3000. When launching it will allow the converter flash and your motor to get up in rpm. I have been running a 430 in small block my 68 Dart. I run consistent 1.39 to 1.41 60Ft. That is with a two step on a footbrake. I run Caltraks springs and bars. I also run mufflers and a DOT Hoosier tires. My ET's for the 11 years on the same motor is 10.30's to 10.40's in street legal trim.
Very cool sounding camshaft, But when this comes to Closing the intake valves it bleeds compression out. And i think that is where it needs it or another design . I seen cams LSA 108 and just a point more dynamic compression , that would make it shine. I drove a 108 hydraulic all over the place for years back in the 1980s, no problems
Wow man! I hope that that piece of sheet metal or whatever it was that fell against your car while you were backing out of your garage didn’t scratch your paint brother😮
How are you doing today ? Checking out your video I didn't see a fuel pressure regulator or a fuel pressure gage. Question how do you know how much fuel pressure you have at the carb. How much pressure does your fuel pump put out?
Love the car! Have you considered converting to reverse cooling so that the heads are cooled first? I'm looking in to this but wanted to see if you've already explored the pros and cons.
Since you changed the spacer looking for looks improvements as well as power think about changing out your chambered mufflers for straight through ones , engine masters did a video on this with a bunch of different mufflers and brands . Surprising amount of power loss with the chambered guys , love the dart btw I have a 68 and 69 convertible 🤙
When I race I alway run open exhaust thru dumps or even remove full exhaust and use header extensions (that’s the best) not sure I’ll get much out of the spacer I mostly did for cosmetic as it’s only 1/2 inch taller. But should help a bit
Ah ya I gotcha , I’m actually going to line my wires like you did for my coronet . I should have that going for the spring , it’s similar to the 493 max wedge engine you did a video on . Mines 512 11.2 comp with 700 lift solid roller , built by Ron parr ( the one armed bandit ) guys a genius . If you’re coming to mission this season maybe I’ll see you there , I live 15 minutes from the track
Not sure when it open. We’ll have to drive 30 mins to a ferry for a 2 hour boat ride then drive about 1:45. So it will be like 5-51/2 hour one way trip. Have to trailer the car too
Hey guys I need some help my son and I bought a A 66 Plymouth barracuda with a 273 factory motor I want to do up the top and new heads new manifold new carpet new cam and wondering if you guys had some part numbers and some stuff that you know would work well with that motor it’s just a stock factory motor I can’t seem to find much information online and what I do find is conflicting if anyone can give me some help I would really appreciate it
I do have one question for you ??? About your converter do you think it's slipping too much or is it too tight and pulling down the motor !!!! If I remember correctly it takes 30-35 passes for it to break in and be consistent not sure where you are with it !!! It is such a key part in drag racing and it shows your well rounded experience in the understanding of the sport !!! Hope you get it to your satisfaction !!!! 10.90s ??? 10.80s ??? 122-123 ??? CAN'T wait !!!
Hey fellow, what cam are you running? My last cam was a Racer Brown STX-21, what a stick for mid-range git. I dunno if it's even still in business, that was a long time ago. Sure miss that car. So great to see someone with a set-up Dart.
Good stuff, brother. Good to hear her up and running. You know the new struggle now, “is the baby asleep? Can I start my Mopar?” Gets me all the time!
Dude thats legit lol
Joe I would drift car out so Decibles drop plenty first hehe. my kid never minded
Best way to get through those winter blues is a healthy dose of this beast! Thanks for the video
You know it brother!
What a unit 😂😂😂😂. Your attention to detail is awesome. By far , one of the best A bodies I’ve seen. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks bro!

Awesome Joe! You've done all the right things and then some. Let're RIP!

Man she looks sweet!!!
Wow man! I hope that that piece of sheet metal or whatever it was that fell against your car while you were backing out of your garage didn’t scratch your paint brother😮
That was not sheet metal it's just a piece of foam flooring type stuff
Love your channel.
Nice stuff
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

You going to run it in the BC DragiT Challenge? How about at Mission this year?
Mission 100% looked into drag and drive but difficult to lock it down
There is still room on the bc one, do it!
Love the car! Have you considered converting to reverse cooling so that the heads are cooled first? I'm looking in to this but wanted to see if you've already explored the pros and cons.
Have never explored the option.

When does your track open and now how far will you have to drive to go to the track?
Not sure when it open. We’ll have to drive 30 mins to a ferry for a 2 hour boat ride then drive about 1:45. So it will be like 5-51/2 hour one way trip. Have to trailer the car too
How big headers do you use ?
Tti 1 7/8 Pri to 3 1/2 col
