I bought a 1974 Duster 360 in 1975 . Started racing in 1975. My first pass was low 9's in the 1/8th. I'm still racing the same car. Now run's 5.40 in the 1/8th. Same body and factory paint but tube chassis. Can't imagine life without racing. By the way I'm going to be 68 in july.
On my 74 duster I unbolted the bumper shocks removed the brace in the bumper and bent up new brackets using 1/8 in steel. Bolted it back on using existing bolt holes. Saved about 80-100 lbs. If I remember right that was about 45 years ago
I don't understand why so many people think you need a glide. Most of the guys I know that run a glide have at least 2 of them and 3 or more converters. I've also seen some go slower with a glide vs 3 speed. Been drag racing 48 years with a torqueflite never blew one up . Been with A&A for over...

I ran the 6al for years when I raised the compression developed a miss went to 7al problem fixed. Needed a stronger spark for more pressure. Changed compression from 12.5 to1 to 14
