My Dart Swinger Project!

I honestly don't know if I will ever take it to the track. I'd like to just to see what it will do. My two biggest objectives are carb tuning and timing. Getting that right is my main concern. I've never really done either correctly. I have set the timing a few times but never really tuned it if that makes since.
All of us started at one point. Let the car tell you what it wants. Period. I pull timing, add timing, add cfm's, add or pull jetting all in accordance how the car responds. Although my butt dyno is pretty accurate, I like the drag way for tuning. I watch the mph. 60 ft times speak if you have traction.

You are absolutely correct. I've seen 12 second combos go high 14's.
