My leaning tower of power at Beech Bend, Bowling Green Kentucky at the 2007 Chrysler Classic. 198 screaming cubic inches. Stock cam heavily ported head, Hooker headers, 3:23 open rear. Almost "getting some air" under the front passenger tire.

Sweet! Mine was the Leaning Tower of Power 225. IF I cut the wheel hard to the left and floored it I could chirp the tire...

Dan, you're gonna need a manicure dude!

Rug Tucker- That Duster photo stirs up some old memories!! That was my first car way back when. It was a 1975 225 auto, 4 wheel DRUM brakes and an AM radio. I remember taking the cylinder head off and taking just under 1/8" off in our big milling machine at the shop where I was apprenticing, porting the heads, changineg the timing etc. Had a lot more get up and go after. The thing I miss the most about it is that it was such a simple car to work on and the interior still looked like it came from the late sixties.

It has an M-1 Mopar Performance intake and a rebuilt Carter BBD 2bbl. I have scads of the BBD's and even some specific slant BBD's. Back in the day it was running 10.58's in the 1/8th @59mph.

Here is a few of the car. I hope to one day start working on it. It’s a great driver. I need to fix the heater and it needs body work. I have an 8 3/4 rear end. A machined block and crank and a new air gap for it. Just need to fill in the blanks for the motor.

"poverty caps!" Love 'em. I have a '66 8 3/4 that I can toss in. Also an open 3:91 pig. I have a '92 roller cam 360 that is supposed to be sold. Where's the money?
The Duster needs to happen indoors.

You have a really crappy connection between the Negative Battery terminal and the ground. Those test lights only need about 1.5 volts to light up. Those type replacement battery terminals suck. Get some military style and put big ring lugs on your battery cables. Then you can use ring terminals for everything else.

What I have always done is remove one fuse at a time till the light goes out.. then trace that circuit down

also this truck has a wiring harness that is totally shot. I suck at the electrical part on these trucks. I know it has some fusable links that are blown but I haven’t started to track those down yet. My son should be here today to help me out.
