K&F Show #273: MOPARTY 2023 – Tony Angelo’s Flying 440!
Presented by Holley! This is a special edition of K&F and features a run down of everything we did at Holley Moparty 2023! Visit holley.com for more fun and details (and to shop for EFI!)
We came, we saw, we Mopartied! This event has become THE place for Mopar wackos with gather and enjoy all of the weirdness and greatness that Mopars bring. Its also a great place for people that love to thrash their cars on the dragstrip and autocross! We had a great time seeing and hanging out with listeners, as always. The only bummer of the whole trip is that it wasn’t long enough! We will feature several key interviews from the event on this week’s episode of The MuscleCar Place podcast.
This episode also features the one and only Tony Angelo. We all have known Tony’s escapades through his time with Motor Trend with Lucky Costa on Hot Rod Garage, and today he makes his living on his YouTube channel “StayTuned,” which you should subscribe to yesterday if you haven’t already.
He did make the event in his Dodge 440…..barely….and we were there to catch up and see what happened. We also learned from Tony just how badly Finnegan took the news when Corndog let him go from the podcast. No we feel worse. (Kibbe does. Corndog doesn’t. Bernie is indifferent, but happy to still not have to wear pants.)

K&F Show #245: Oldsmobiles, Leg Lamps, and BB Guns! Movie Review: “A Christmas Story”
We are kicking off the Christmas season with a 3-week long Holiday Trifecta! This week we’ll re-air our 2019 review of “A Christmas Story,” the top choice of our man Corndog for Christmas Americana. Next week we’ll review the new “A Christmas Story Christmas” sequel movie, and the week after that will be a full run down of the one and only Dukes of Hazzard Christmas epidote: The Great Santa Clause Chase!
If you haven’t yet joined us on Patreon, please consider it – if just for this month. We’re making a mad dash to have a great donation to Toys for Tots on on Dec 16. Links are below to sign up! http://www.patreon.com/kfshow.
Presented with Holley! We’re happy to let you know that Holley is doing another amazing engine giveaway but you only have until Dec 5, 2022 to get signed up for it! This time it’s the latest and greatest LT motor filled with some of the best parts money can buy, including a forged rotating assembly that brings displacement to 427 cubic inches, Mast Motorsports Black Label cylinder heads, a custom ground camshaft, and as many Holley parts as we could throw at it. All of this will be controlled by a Holley Terminator X EFI system, making it capable of up to 700 horsepower. https://www.holley.com/win/ltenginesweepstakes/
Movie Notes: If there was one movie to review that best summed up the mind of kid-dom at Christmas it definitely has to be A Christmas Story! The tale of Ralphie Parker and his desire for a Red Ryder BB gun is ingrained in Americana, thanks in part to the 24-hour marathon on the Turner Broadcast networks beginning in the late 1990’s. It’s set in the late 1930’s and is laid over with Jean Shephard’s voice telling the tale of his youth. From fighting bullies with green teeth, to being tricked into radio commercials for Ovaltine, to his old man’s desire for a MAJOR AWARD, this movie has it all and never gets old. There are even old cars, a tongue stuck to a frozen pole, and a duck that gets his head cut off. PERFECT 10 LITTLE DEBBIE CHRISTMAS TREE RATING.
K&F Show #244: California Dukes Adventure for 2023? Movie Review – The John Hughes Movie Car Spectacular!
Presented with Holley! We’re happy to let you know that Holley is doing another amazing engine giveaway but you only have until Dec 5, 2022 to get signed up for it! This time it’s the latest and greatest LT motor filled with some of the best parts money can buy, including a forged rotating assembly that brings displacement to 427 cubic inches, Mast Motorsports Black Label cylinder heads, a custom ground camshaft, and as many Holley parts as we could throw at it. All of this will be controlled by a Holley Terminator X EFI system, making it capable of up to 700 horsepower. https://www.holley.com/win/ltenginesweepstakes/
The John Hughes Movie Car Spectacular! Kibbe created the criteria for all of this, so if a major one got missed or you disagree with the reasoning it’s his fault. First, the movie has to be well known. It has to have been released within his lifetime. He could have written it, directed it, or both. Most importantly there has to be a car that you instantly identify with that movie or that someone would be wacky enough to make a replica of!

K&F Show #243: SEMA 2022 Insider Access – “Corndog’s Pick” for the Dukes Review – S1E4 “Repo Men”
Presented with Holley! At the SEMA Show Holley dropped a number of new product offerings, including the super nice (and super affordable) Hooker exhaust manifolds for the traditional Small Block Chevy. Hooker’s line of cast-iron exhaust manifolds are designed to perform far above factory manifolds and are offered in five finishes: natural cast, cast-iron gray ceramic, black ceramic, silver ceramic, and titanium ceramic. For builds under 550 horsepower that don’t necessarily need tubular headers, like a weekend cruiser, these manifolds might be the answer you are looking for!
Just visit Holley.com to peruse and view for yourself. While you are there….pick out a few more things for Christmas and be SURE to tell them that we sent you!
Dukes Review: When Corndog picked a Georgia episode to review I knew to trust his judgment. This episode features everything: Jerry Rushing, the self-proclaimed real-life Bo Duke, Lee 1 in it’s after jumped form, and a thin Boss Hogg with a weird accent and even weirder eyebrows. Add to that mismatched GL’s as far as the eye can see, real GL horn sound effects, and writing credits by none other than Bob Clark (from “A Christmas Story”)! 10 Corndogs.

Dukes Review: When I heard in 1996 that there was going to be a Dukes reunion I ran out and bought a copy of the National Enquirer. Why? Because pictures of the Dukes filming were in it for some reason? Entertainment Tonight had a segment called “hot rod heaven” with Bo and Luke laying on the hood of the General and talking to each other, and everyone was going to be in it. And then it premiered. And they had a different theme song. And Waylon Jennings wasn’t the balladeer. And they had new sound effects for the General Lee, not to mention the General looked different and goofy. Why are the numbers, pushbar, tailpanel, roll bar all messed up? And the lighting and picture and coloring was weird. And other than Bo, everyone looked older….and maybe not quite as tight and right as they once were, but hey, Dukes is Dukes. Rosco is funny, Jesse is good, Luke is still stronger and faster than everyone, and Bo can still drive. Cleetus returns – which I’m glad to see – Cooter returns from serving in Congress of all things – Daisy…..is getting a PHD and has an affinity for eating ribs.
It’s basically just a two hour regular Dukes episode where the boys have to race the General Lee to save the farm (again), Enos proposes to Daisy and she says yes (again) only to then cancel on him (again), but even a weird episode of the Dukes is better than no Dukes. Plus, this is the one where Corndog’s real General Lee made it’s premier! Bonus info: the first time you see the GL on screen in this episode….is Corndog’s car!
10 Corndogs.
