​@@gen2garage if the current engine in the Dart is hurt bad then you can always swap in the Gen 3 Hemi and put a Supercharger on it so she doesn't have to worry about a boost controller, CO², or anything else that has to do with a turbo engine and she can still have a boosted car with more horsepower than what she had which she wants anyway and she is ready for and one of the main reasons I think she isn't already going faster is because I think Jeff is scared and nervous for her to go any faster right this second but I think she is ready and she'll be able to handle it you guys I think make her nervous before she makes a pass because everyone is coming at her from all different directions and trying to coach her before every pass but I think if you just give her a pep talk once you get to the track and just let her do her thing after that she'll be ok after that

Great catch by Allison hearing the tick. I had a 72 340 Duster back in the early 90’s. It ran 12:80’s on motor. I bought my first Nitrous kit for that car. I believe it was called a Cheater kit or Fogger kit and It ran 12.00’s. That was fast for a street car in 1991. If I remember right it was a straight Nitrous line to the plate. I had to run the carb fat to keep from burning a piston. I don’t remember the earlier nitrous kits spraying fuel like kits today. I had a button on the dash. These kits came along way.

Had brake issues with my jeep wrangler with sticking calipers so replaced them and turns out it was the flexible brake lines causing the problems. They looked fine on the outside but the insides had deteriorated and not letting the brake fluid pass back up thru the lines and the caliper piston go back in the caliper. Replaced the lines and I have front brakes now.

[@williamcole464]

That was a good catch, no major damages, and a chance to up grade.

[@bradchandler6967]

Hey guys, old N.H. guy here again. I'm pretty sure you guys know about this, but a year or two ago there were a ton of guys on KZbin complaining of cam and lifter issues. I found them because I had just put a brand new "stock" cam and lifters in my old 1980 Ford F600 ramp truck's 429 and 2 of the lifters looked exactly like yours after running it literally only an hour or less ! I've changed plenty of cams in my lifetime and had never seen something like that happen that quickly. The engine builders and mechanics came to the conclusion that even name brand cam and lifter kits were buying lifters from "questionable" sources to due supply chain issues during the plague. Also, I'm pretty sure you're gonna find that lobe is no longer flat across any more when you pull it out. Think about it---- how would the lifter be concave like that without the lobe having to be worn down on the edges too ? Not trying to be smarter than you guys or anything, but when mine failed the lobe was trash too, and all the sbc cams that were bad from the factory back in the early 80's were that way too. Just passing along my experiences. I know it's a moot point because you're gonna upgrade anyway, but......... And just a quick " because I couldn't help myself" comment---- Jeff brought the trailer because he knew there would be GM's there and it might be needed !!!! Just fuckin' with ya !! As I've told you guys before, I watch and like every video all of your channels put out. All of you are way telented for your ages. Of course I'm cheering on Allison because Mopar rules over GM any day in my book, and I'm betting on her kicking some of your asses eventually !!!! The shit you guys do keeps me "young" !!

[@johnshaver5693]

[@nickmaas4467]

I bet that 340 surprises the heck out of you when it’s finally healthy and revving out. It’s probably been hurt this entire time and basically running on 7 to 7-1/2 cylinders and not enough rpm. It’s going to wake up nicely.

[@supertunesupertune]

Not sure how much you read the comments...in the race engine machine shop that I build engines for, we like to run a roller hydraulic cam and use tie-bar solid lifters and then you can run tight lash and make for really great HP and very streetable and can rev way better than a hydraulic lifter can handle. In your case with Iron heads and iron block you can run somewhere in the .012 to .014 range and is very easy on valvetrain.

There's a quick & simple cure for that nitrous addiction -- they're know as twin turbos. If it's good enough for Billy, Tommy, & now even Bill, it's good enough for Allison too. (According to Jimmy Dale) She's already driven the Falcon a couple of times, so she already had a taste of the turbos, on gate.

[@AntiPattern328]

Wow! I can't believe the cam is still good. Must have had some sort of metal issue with the lifter. If it was an oiling thing or metal to metal, you'd think the cam would be messed up.

Hughes engines sells a ball you run through the lifter bores to help with proper rotation of the lifters to help prevent flat cams. Also run a high zinc oil for better lubrication on flat tappet cams.
