1969 Dart Street/Strip (Re)Build

clinteg said
Spent last Saturday at MoKan Dragway at the Mopars Invade event. Didn’t do any good but we had good times. I red lit -.005 in the first round. Then I had to decide what time to throw on the window for the buy back round. The dilemma stemmed from the track not being prepped the best. I’d run 10.60’s in the left lane and 11.00-11.10’s in the right lane. So I threw 11.00 on there hoping they’d put me in the right lane. Nope! I got left lane and had to go against a 17+second pickup. I let off but not nearly enough and blew past him and ran a 10.85. So I was out of the race and had the rest of the day to enjoy a beer or two with friends.

On the ride home we encountered some rain and man did it leave my car nasty! Wish I had an enclosed hauler for this car.

Hey Clint, are ur coil overs longer than 10'' ? I am getting ready to put 250# springs on the front of my barracuda, and wondering how much the coils will have to be jacked up tighter to keep the front end the same heigth . I have 350# springs on them now, and virtually "no" front end lift ! ==.170 60foot , spinning well into second gear ,w/ 295 65 15 d.radials , now 295 65 d15 hoosier quicktimes < "I got caught in the rain w/ the d.radials" , needed some tread.
Ur filter scoop situation is like mine was before I changed to a victor intake. I had it centered w/ offset stuff tho. It was ***** trying to build an air pan/filter for the new intake , centered , w/ the throttle body up in the 6 pack scoop. I already had the 16'' hole cut in the center under the scoop-------
Really curious about the ride height !!
