Street, rubber insulated mounts. Drag strip, solid or engine plate. You won't like solid mounts on the street for long.

Urethane seems to work well on the street also. They're a little more rigid than rubber mounts, but I like them for higher performance.
Solid mounts are for racing only . . . unless you really dig engine vibration in your car.

Yup, what Jack and Don said.... Got to be some sort of strange human being to runs solid mounts on a street car.... I have a front plate, mid plate, and travel limiter for the 'maro.....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

....LOL "....strange human being to run solid mounts on the street...."
Ok, so we have Don, Jack & Tech voting for rubber {or urethane} mounts &
Dave & Pat going for the solid ones.... hummm, guess it's a personal preference thing? Well, even though I sort a like the idea of 'shaking around a little' with vibration I should probably go with the rubber mounts due to the fact that my car ALREADY vibrates enough with the rubber mounts that it has!!! BUT then again, shaking around like a AA/FA at a stop light does sort of appeal to me!!! THANKS to all for your imput/opinions!!! Bill

.....LOL "if you gave me a ride!".... PAT if you gave me a ride in something THAT fast I don't hardly think I'd even notice a little vibration!!!
In fact, now that I think about it, the '84 Camaro that I had with the motor that was in my '32 had solid mounts! I just remembered that when I was going through the garage cabinets the other day I saw them. Yeah they used big block chev solid mounts. It didn't shake much. But then it was only 460 HP/ 499 Tq.... I will try the solid mounts & see how they work. Thanks for 'jarring my memory' Pat! Bill

Yeah Pat, that brings up a point; I don't know if they even make brackets to run a/c on a blown 392! I meant to ask Hot Heads last time I talked to them but forgot......

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
