Re: Original hemi dart information
"MR ED" is happy to be back to his original 4 speed configuration. Just a few more details to complete.

Re: Original hemi dart information
Mr Ed looking good. Looks like same shifter boot I used. I just cut a small hole for the reverse lockout to go through.

Re: Original hemi dart information
Tom, think the wheelbase on the Hemi Darts has always been 110. That was the number we used in 1970 when I started working in Div ll. Shortened from 111 by Hurst per Chrysler. Not saying some were not maybe moved a little more. And some were moved forward front and rear but easily caught if you know how far the k-member should be from the core support. I know of 1 SS/DA Cuda caught at the Nation event In Sanair mid 70's. Was told to have it right at the next race. It was moved back and didn't effect the car at all.

Re: Original hemi dart information
Stewart, you know I'm working off of a 40 plus year old memory on the wheelbase thing. I am sure that max Hurley's car was 111 (and they didn't like it) when they checked it. Landy's car was mentioned that day as the standard, and was enough shorter to matter to that tech man. It goes without saying that Dick Landy was an extremely creative racer, using him as a yardstick could be like using a Smokey Yunick car as a reference.
Warning, Thread drift, Excuse us for a minute, Stewart and I don't get together enough. Bogus SS/DA? Perhaps a local one to us? Tell me about SS/EA cars with over 2000 pounds on the rear wheels? You know which one, just not the first one that comes to your mind. |

Re: Original hemi dart information
Not an Atlanta car, and I don't think he was from GA. As far as 2000lb on the rear that might be a little heavy. I seem to remember in the early 70's max weight allowed on the rear was 50% but I have slept since then so the memory is a little vague. If you get around Loganville give me a call for lunch. 678-873-6940.
Hijack ended.
