Killer why do you think the 2 numbers are different? Since there was a different gasket, do you think one was cut?

Yes it does! 11-high 10's. Destroked 300, 2700 lbs car.

Ok, gotcha. I should make a chart of that, do you think that would indicate chamber volume?

I will smoke mine when you smoke yours! Shots Fired!

True dat. I have been slowly increasing air pressure to get a little spin. I started at 14, Sunday I was at 18. The tire patch looks to be around 11 inches now. I spent some time on the phone today with Six Gun Scott. We talked about clutch combinations and other stuff to make it launch. He has...

Excuse my ignorance, O/A?

No, around 10.5 to 10.75. I should have cut the head a few more thousands, but it's at .100 now so I thought was enough right now. When that other head was leaking water, I was pretty disappointed and wanted something I knew to be ok. I am going to get that other head going with a better set of...

@RustyRatRod It does doesn't it! It really started doing what I "thought" the "old" engine should have been doing. I have a good ring seal now, more compression, better head, more cam, etc. It feels good to get this 60 year old piece of cast iron starting to sing. Or at least, clear her throat!

Second run was a 8.47 @ 87.7. Getting there.

@64plymouth Good to hear some back story. It is owned by Curtis Wells now, he lives in Cleburne TX and does quite well with it. It would have been to put them on the track at the same time!

I got the last pass uploaded, here is the link. The Colt came up faster than expected into the video frame. But it sounded good.

@weedburner, @19DART66, thanks for those comments. But, last year at MOKAN I took the tamer off because I was having so many issues with the car. The clutch pedal was binding and I was just trying to get in a few runs. I plan to work on that stuff in the next month and then go back with the...

I got out to Xtreme last night, they were PACKED! Best (best?) time last year was a 8.9 @ 77 mph. Both runs last night were better, much better. 1st run was 8.7 @ 85 mph. 2 tenths and 8 miles better. 2nd run was 8.49 @ 87 mph, almost 10 mph better than last years best. Both runs were done with...

Not to hijack the tread, but how does the 1.5 vs 1.6 effect the duration numbers? Or does it.

glad to help.

here you go

They are out there!

A notchback 273 Commando is my dream car. You never see those.

Hey 65 Dartman, is that the large center register or small?

I got the body to tail gate window seal from Len Dawson. I used a 67-68 trunk gasket on the body to tailgate seal. I did not replace the window channel gaskets on the tailgate window. I never tried to replace the quarter glass seals. Good luck Wayne!

One last post tonight. I passed 500 subscribers to my YouTube channel this weekend! It's not much but I thought that was pretty cool!

I started moving engines from my garage to the new shop in the back yard. I was joking with my friend Mark G about Total Seal piston Rings today. I sent him a picture of my "total seal" engine I forgot I had. Looks like 100% seal to me! LOL PS, that is vinegar in a stuck slant!

I sold my old belts to a couple of young hot rodders for their street car. It's been a couple of weeks. I did not tow to MOKAN last week. We had very bad storms from Texas to Missouri last week. I didn't feel comfortable towing with Tornados all a round. I had been working for 5 months to be...

Thanks for posting the head picture. Thus the bathtub reference.

There was a post in one of the regions this weekend about a stash of slant six parts. In the tread there was a Offy intake, a bare 225 B Body Aluminum Block and a bare 170 Aluminum Block. The tread was removed because of phone number and no price. According to some folks on /6 org the seller has...

I was coming to run my slant, but too far to tow with the rain and storms all around.

Welcome from DFW!

Yes, I have been talking with Tom.

There are a couple different snouts for the seal. I don't know the years, but here are a couple pictures of the styles.
