I threw this one out once,but it wasn't done at the time. I've had it to a couple of cruise nights since then but it has yet to go down the dragstrip.

I bet it is fast. Looks great!

 

[ratrodz]

super nice ride, looks like you spent a lot of time on it

 

[440Clark]

Thank you gentlemen. Friday it's supposed to snow. Looks like Saturday night will be my last chance at Milan Dragway. It's supposed to be 38-40 degrees but no rain. If it hooks it should run a decent number.

I was only able to make one pass, 11:37 at 115. I think I let off before the last mph light as I was actually a little nervous. First time down the track in anything "fast" in like 10 years. It's probably capable of the 11 teens with tuning. That pass was with the oval air cleaner and mufflers no spray.

Nice pass, the MPH is the first stripe and Et is the second stripe if im thinking right ,what was ya 60' time

 

[440Clark]

Yeah, I believe the MPH lights are 66' before the finish line. 1.55 60 ft. back in the day, with the same basic combo, it would usually 1.45 with a best of 1.42 if I recall. Saturday I foot braked it to like 3000 & just nailed it. No wheelie, but it felt like it straight up hooked.

My buddies 5 spd. '68 Camaro with a dyno'd 600 horse small block went 11:80 @ 118 off the trailer, spinning wildly. Second pass we put some M/T Drag radials and he twisted the axle tubes loose fron the diff housing. Rotated it 90 degrees. Tore up the floorpan good. Car was super cherry, even the floorpan.

My starter hung up on the ring gear on the converter. That starter has been a problem since I put it in the car.

Still, like they say, "a bad day at the track is better than a good day at work"!
