71 Duster 360 (new project)

-
Went things get back to normal...lol.....we will let you make a couple of passes in the 75 Duster on a TnT night....

Thats the slow one right? I'm pretty sure I'm not ready for the big leagues yet. Might have to get a minivan to take down the track first lol.

I got two girls that do it......now dont let the girls show you up..lol

Slow one...it will run low 11s....lol......it goes straight down the track....shift light comes on...you shift....simple...
 
Made some progress with this car today....first pass 10.95.....but mph was up...

daughter said it is going blah right before the shift light comes on ...and has to regain the rpm...
lower the flood level...car picked up and ran 10.78 @ 124....
we left it alone for eliminations and it ran a 10.78 in 1st round win,,,,she lost in the second round with a 10.81....and a not very good light
the fuel gauge is all over the place and suspect the autometer isolator is not telling up the truth....as it went from 3 psi to 9 psi.....so goodbye Isolator...
she was running the same mph as the 71 dart...but her ET is off .15...looking at the two time slips next to each other....it happens at the 330 ft timer...and the 1/8 mile speed is down 2 mph....but she runs the same trap speed....
beautiful day...mid 90s....DA at 4600 ft.....

next race May 1 and 2

She did awesome! Good job Tony.
 
I’m not a fan of the fuel gauge isolators.
I know several people who been plagued with fuel pressure issues using them.

Just leave the gauge outside of the passenger compartment........ and get rid of the isolator.
 
ok...got all the parts to change out fuel gauge from Isolator to direct reading fuel gauge to be mounted where the driver can see it....busy weekend ahead...

next race May 21 and 22...
 
Looking fairly cool in the forecast.... I’m holding out for Memorial weekend :)
 
Well..might not get this done this weekend. Things changed Friday
 
I had an isolator on my car when I first put it together, it lasted about 2 months before it hit the trash can.
 
Got nothing done on this car.....gotta R n R a dishwasher at her house this morning.....then head back up north for work
