[QUOTE=Jim Wahl;247926]Nope. As I said, the only thing Direct Connection on my car are the valve covers!
.
How much are those DC valve covers worth? At least a .10 huh.

Oh! At least! Maybe more! I even have a DC/ Ed Hamburger "for 340's and 360's" decal in the trunk! Jim

Ya, really! That almost hurt my feeling. LOL I have some serious credibility issues...a (former) crate motor car (soon to be DragPak powered), a front wheel drive car, a bracket car, AND I know Billy Nees! Man, don't know how anyone could ever dig out of that hole... Some pretty lame heckling. -=shrug=-

Exactly why I'm over that conversation. I never met the guy but lately I have gotten many emails from others who apparently have. Jim

James is a good guy
He has a very good engine builder and like me is very tired of the games that are being played
I believe he runs the same combo as me
You Mopar guys make very good power if you spend the money to do so
One very respected engine builder told me he can make the most HP per CI with the 360 Mopar engine
Now all that said don't get down on him he like many others makes this site rock and roll
Wouldn't it be boring if we dint have people like him?
It takes all types to make the whole.........

He can get parts @ 7/11 minimarts his stuff is so common. What year are you claiming? because 76/77 can run @ 284 with the small cam combo.

Sorry I didn't see this until now. Better check again, all the '77&'78 360's, big and small cam are now at 289 (NHRA). The '76 175hp is rated at 284. It's the one with 64cc heads. The '76 220hp 360 is rated at 305hp. I run the '78 175hp that is rated at 289hp. I can run '76, '77, '78 or '79. Jim

Actually i just checked again... 175 hp small cam is still in @ 284. just have to run as a 76-77. bill bushmaker and i run the same combo. We are hiding from the rest of you hooligans!! LOL!

Yeah, He's a real hoot. Kinda makes you miss Ed O'Cryin doesn't it? Maybe Jimmy P. can take his place? Jim

The 360 Magnum is still rated at 250 isn't it. Ever wonder why Jack McCormack ran those Dakotas? Haven't seen that family runnin' those trucks lately. I know Judy used to make #1 qualifier quite alot in that Dakota she raced. His daughter did really well in that CC Dakota 318.
Hope that Dakota RC I'm building does as well: Gave up on the 64 Dodge after looking at everything. I got a couple Pair of the R/T heads that Jack was selling, so I have that covered. And yea, as ya'll know, you can get lots of horsepower out of the 360: Nearly perfect rod ratio has way less friction.

Yea, that's all good, but I still need some info on that Direct Connection that he speaks of, cause if you aren't Allen Johnson you aren't getting any of that top secret good stuff they have. We just have to spend more money for our stuff because there aren't a zillion people running Mopars like there are chevy stuff.
