Thanks Doc.... took it out today for a quick 5 mile run... its quick but IOriginally posted by drilr View PostVery nice Mr.P
still need to get a alignment on it... sorta hard to control... wants to blow
the tires off it.. Dale stoped by and I took him for a ride and he liked it...
still need to drop the air pressure on the tires to get some bite but it was a
decent first outing ... I'm gonna have to drop the pan... 2 oil leaks... overall
I was pretty happy...... its QUICK... oh yeah I still need to get a tach in it and
wire up the OD.... it needs the OD even with a 4.10 gearComment

You can tell where Mr P-Body lives there tire tracks for a couple hundred feet up and down the street... It pulls pretty hard I say we were well over 100 in short order...

Made it out to the (LID) today 6/15 Dave D went as well it was a slow day not a lot of cars... Old farm truck ran in the 11.40s with the new tires ... and mid 1.5s 60' till I spit the alternator belt then it slow mph think maybe the msd was under powered but still was running the number... Daves bbf stang was having trouble but was running 9.60's if he gets his converter and carb its going to be very quick think he'll get some 9.20's for sure... didn't get a chance to spray will try again in a couple weeks.Drag week 2009 Quickest street rod

Lapeer this Saturday.
I am amazed at how well Dale's truck runs for what it is. Its not a stroked motor and runs on pump gas but the combination just works. That goes for the truck as well because it 60's on the top of its percentile. I shot a video on an 11.40 pass and the track doesnt have a score board but they didnt announce the run until a minute after the run. They dont let you run deep without a bar so he didnt spray it.
As for my junk I'll get there some day when the right parts show up on the car.

well the plan now is to try more tire psi ill start at 20 and see what happens... also im removing the sway bar... do need to learn how to heat the tires properly...also going with a new alternator pulley to help with throwing the belt over 6500 rpm... hoping to get down to the hi 1.4's on motor and low 1.4's maybe 1.3's on the bottle... if there is time left will play with cal trac I'm in the top hole now will loosen and tighten to see if there anything there to..Drag week 2009 Quickest street rod
