Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project

:wack: My warmed over slant with 265 BFG T/As will easily create clouds by foot-braking. As a matter of fact, spin starts after the converter stalls at around 15-1700. Shoot, I can even punch it from a *small* roll (5mph?) and spin a little. No need for them fancy line lock dohickys, but windshield washer fluid will help make a sunny day cloudy :glasses7:

Brandon,

I never had a car with rear brakes that would allow that. I always made sure that my rear brakes held well enough that I could do a full-throttle stall with no tendency to creep through the lights and red light. Sometimes, that took re-engineering the geometry of the foot pedal/master cylinder interface, sometimes larger-diameter wheel cylinders, sometimes, a smaller-diameter master cylinder piston for the rear brakes, and sometimes, the use of organic shoe material. I am looking around for some 3-inch-wide rear drums/shoes/backing plates from a C-body, for this slant 6 car, to assist in this effort. because a full-throttle stall is what I need for this turbo spool. At 3,000 rpm, it has plenty of torque, at 2,500 it has zilch...

So, in my case, a line loc is a necessity... too hard to try to regulate the pedal pressure on this bucket of bolts...

Theere are lots of ways to skin a cat... lol!
