Stein's Black 63 found

Thyose painted stripes might be an old racers trick. Where the paint stops burning is where the max temp is.. This is where you'd cut the tube for best torque effiencency.

Used to use a crayon to do that. Mark a line the length of the collector and where it melted away was supposed to be the proper length for the collector.
Don't know if it worked or not but that is where we cut 'em.
Ran better with than without.
Not quite as colorful as the two above!

I did a restoration involving the old Tritak and Morgan War Wagon, owned by Todd Schuster.. we actually followed the rule book to make it a legal SS car back in the early 90's, so it now accomodates a big tire.. the plan was to bring it out as a SS car, but that never happened.. I drove the car for two seasons for Schuster.. we bracket raced here and there, but Todd liked the Mopar shows and was regularly invited.. Jerry Stein and Todd Schuster had some type of history and Jerry was a major influence on how the car was built and run.. he was refered to as Uncle Jerry back then..

I drove the War Wagon against Jerry at Island Dragway back in the early 90's in a match race series.. he had a white wagon at the time with a 413 in it.. something he had just picked up to play with, according to him.. it's nice to see on this thread that someone actually was there and remembers it.. but the place was packed..

I recently re-connected with Schuster at a car show and the War Wagon looked just like I parked it 10 years ago.. I must have used good paint.. Schuster plans on bringing the car back out, but probably not with the 426 Max Wedge in it.. time will tell..

Haven't talked or seen Jerry Stein in a while, but couldn't help notice a Jerry Stein running in Stock Eliminator at Vegas and wondering if he had popped up ONCE AGAIN..

Charlie, Not related, Jerry is doing fine, raising his grand kids and had his hands full last I spoke with him.
