Changed out my 5 point harness as going racing on sunday. Changing belts is a every 3 year donation. They have tag dates on them and must not be outdated.

Re: what did you do to your comet today?

Roger, were you guys able to attain the track you mentioned a while back? Wish we had one locally but insurance rates down here are off the charts Joe, we are still working on building a track.

I run a Quick Fuel 750, I used to run a Demon 750. The Demon ran OK but I spent hours tuning it. Bolt the Quick Fuel ...

Re: Stroker choices?

I like my 331, solid lifter motor with cheap untouched aluminum heads. Makes 420 plus HP according to the ET calculators. I only have a 8,000 tach and it has sat on the 8,000 pin many times. More cubes would be better for the torque to get my 3,400 lb comet moving but if I was going bigger I would ...

Re: Lavron's '64 Build Thread

I have no heat in my shop either but wet haven't had a cold winter this year. Moved the comet out last weekend to weld up a jig to work on rearends. Insulation and heat for next winter.
