when that started we said cars like that had " The Blue Death"...

cheaper, lighter, better rear overhang for drag racing. all the same motors/transmissions fit..

Anything a B can do, an A can do better...

We used the horn wire with a "Line Lock or Horn" switch. Flip the switch at the track and the horn button is the line lock.

ANY PICS OF THAT??

Maybe a better question, should the 3 port filter be before the regulator? Currently the filter is AFTER the regulator. If we put it BEFORE the regulator it would end up standing upright, under the alternator. It seems to me that 3 port filter would work better standing upright with the 1/4...

So my Googlefu is usually pretty good, but I am not finding anyone with the 3/8 filter with the return in stock (except 1 GM restoration place, $149..lol) But I am finding lots of the 5/16 version for $6 or $7. I have a 3/8 sender on its way with a 1/4 return fitting. Would we be nuts to redo...

I'm finding the 5/16 ones pretty easy, not so much the 3/8 ones so far... Lots of good part numbers from Prof Fate, but so far no onne that actually has them in stock..

anyone have a part # or application that uses a 3 line filter? Like 3/8 in and out with a 1/4 or 5/16 return?

I thought the same thing about the line size, but if we are redoing it, there is no kill like overkill, right? Being a '66 it has a vented tank and not a vented cap. the vent is clear. so far it can't be duplicated on the street, it really falls away at the top of 2nd and with trafic around here...

You know, Nick my youngest and I were discussing that very thing with the 3 nipple fuel filter. I already ordered a 3/8 sender and it has a 1/4 return/vent nipple on it so that wouldn't be too hard to do. If we use the current supply line as a return, would you still move it out of the engine...

So we FINALLY got to the track this year and wow did the drag radials and slapper bars make a difference!! (Hats off to @318willrun!!) The car is solidly in the mid 13's now when everything goes right, but... We drive an hour one way on the interstate to the track, and by the tome we get there...

put an old school bulb work light under the oil pan on the floor. won't get below freezing under the hood...

Thanks, and sorry about the caps. I'm at work and we use all caps to make the switchlists easier to read in the dark!!

"ROLLING 6 START"??? TELL ME MORE//

we're in!!

Any better??

Its right side up on my computer, I swear!!

So after Nick, Danys younger brother finally got a complete pass this year we entered him in the 2020SB Penalty box!2020 Small Block Penalty Box Race Sign Up In that thread mderoy suggested a calculator app 60' to 1/4 Mile Calculator - Wallace Racing So what we did was plug in Nicks timeslip one...

Let me repost it. '66 Barracuda 3600 lbs + .3 = 16.2 360 Mag -.9 4bbl -.4 headers -.4 Eq 318B's -.6 cam -.4 converter -.4 13.1 Crap, forgot the gears.. 3.55 -.5 = 12.6 We definitely have some work to do, but that's the whole point, right? I'm just sorry we had to waste 3 weeks fighting a failed...

So, I went in and added his #'s from the timeslip one at a time and it seems we are giving it all up at the 60' the 330' and 1/8th. or the bottom!! Above that we are going faster than the calculator. Nick said the same thing about tuning, and I told him he needs to get to where he can lay down...

I looked at the Penalty Box again, and I must have not used all my toes and stuff before, because it came out 13.1 not 12.1, so we are a little closer than I thought!!

Oh, it totally does!! But, those are his first real passes where the car didn't nose over and its only a green during Test and Tune, and arm drops during competition. He will get it though!!

Well Dany hasn't made a successful run yet this year as we started out with some problems after the trans swap this winter (ended up being a bad "Orange Box") So her younger brother Nick and I jerry rigged a quick HEI swap onto it and He made an all time fastest ET for the car and an all time...

Well nick and I made up a set of wires today and replaced the cap and rotor and got 3 test hits in with it at about 200/205 degrees and it pulled fine!!! I think we will take Denise's module and coil with us to the track next time just to be sure..

Our plan is to replace the wires/cap rotor today as they are 40ish years old. And then to "borrow" the ign module and coil off Denise's duster one at a time. I'm trying to use this as a teachable moment about the diagnostic process for Dany and Nick. And the module has had a ground wire since...

That's right, Heat related.you can hear and feel it popping out the exhaust when its missing.

Interesting. Our family shop (1936-2000) had lots of Mopar factory Electronic cars though it over the years and most of the problem with stock cars was either the module or module ground. I could always swap in the wifes Distributor as a test too I guess.

Well the track finally opened here and we got a chance to test the new trans/converter. But with the temp being so high that day, the 45 min trip on the interstate and the long line into the track and thru tech the car got pretty hot, 217 degrees !! her first launch it started popping out the...

need more pictures of that!!
