Guess ET for 318 ? With slicks ???
Back from the track today and all is well.
The plugs looked a little rich when i checked them in the morning when leaving but my 72/82 jets stayed in the carb and me and my cuda went racing.
28 inch tall tire(nito drag radial)
3.91 gears
The car went 1st pass ----14.325 @ 92.67
2nd
[email protected] on a 14.33 dial in
Both me and the guy i was racing ran under.
I was closer to the dial in.
I won 1st round
3rd
[email protected] on a 14.28 dial in.
I ran under even on the brakes.
I would have gone over 93 mph and would have run a 14.23.
I:sleepy1: slept the light
Buy the way -----I will have to say there was a very strong head wind putting a monkey wrench into the mix.
Man i miss my 4.56 gears.
My 4.56 gears are on a spool and being not the greatest on the street i installed 3.91's with a sure grip.
AND--- The clutch fan was sitting too far away from my radiator and the engine was getting a little hot.
SO........
The stock steel fan was installed and now it stays cooler.
I think the clutch fan was worth a little over a 10th in ET.
If it still had the 4.56 gears in the car and the clutch fan installed it would be very close to 14.00
and after leaning the carb it should be in the 13.80 to 13.90 range i would think.
It could be time for the bigger cam ,convertor and some ported heads OR .......just enjoy the 318 the way it is and go racing at the track on a sunny day.
That 318 gets more wows by people just because it's a 318.
IT'S A 318......REALLY.......WOW.....LOL.:drinkers:CHEERS TO THE 318.
