My 1971 Duster
Well we finally took the our project "410" Duster to the drag stip this weekend. Some of you followed along in the build up I posted here. We made a couple of shake down runs to see where we were at since I haven't driven this car in about 7 years.
Bottom line is we still have some more work to do. The best time we had was 9.86 at 64 mph with a .056 reaction time. Tire spin was off the chart and every time I shifted in to second gear the car snapped sideways and I was forced to lift. On the second pass I blew out the front intake gasket. Small oil leak but enough to call it a day.
