1968 SS Dart in progress
Thanks guys :-). Nearly five years to get her done! Thank you for posting that shot. I was so focused on other things I neglected to take a picture of the car at the track LOL. Talk about shaky runs, you should of seen me Saturday night. I definitely looked like an idiot out there, but I got her down the track in one piece and that allowed me some much needed seat time. It was a lot of fun and I am not disappointed at all. I have not done a lot of drag racing and it had been several years since my last pass and that was in my supercharged 92 fox body before I sold it. The big block, heck, the whole car is a totally different animal and I love it!!!!
We are going to have to pull the torque converter and send it back to Adrian at Edge converters to have it loosened up a little bit more. We need it to flash at 4000 RPM and it flashes religiously at 3500 RPM, just like he said it would! 0-60 ft. times are stuck in the 1.78's so we are giving up a lot of time there. We should be into the 11's fairly easily with the converter fixed. I am going to enjoy it around town for a little bit before I follow through with that and will install an auto meter mechanical water temp gauge, double check the thermostat temp, etc... I'll keep you posted along the way.
