Man that runner look's solid ! You gunna build it ?Yes sir, it is!!! It's a 318, dual exhaust, dual racing mirrors, bench seat bunch of B Body happiness!! It runs, drives and stops, but needs the gas siphoned and it needs a bath, inside and out!!
I like it ! I like it !Making a little progress on the interior. Temporary carpet installed, new upholstery on the bucket seats, center console mods & fluffing.

Good luck , Hope it kicks butt ! I'm hoping I get a chance to get to the track this season myself .Taking her to us131 motorsportspark to see what she runs

I got my helmet, hoping ill at least break 14 sec...but what I really want is to dive into the 12s (not sure if I can or not)
and me not knowing what I'm doing
so yeah...probably not
Just relax and do your thing . Don't think about anything but you , the car and the light and I'm sure you'll do fine .thanks

Any word on how it went?? Or are you still walking home?no kidding, I told the wife where I was going and what I'm doing there....she suggested I wear my walking shoes :banghead:
Well, this went mostly well
I had a fuel issue which I am not sure I managed to solve, but I had fun and a learned a lot (I can guarantee you it will never close a float adjuster by turning it the wrong way again)
The duster made it there on her own power and made it back home on her own power so I'm happy
The issue I was having was that towards the end of second gear I would run out of fuel, stutter and stumble before the carb would regain so I didn't get any good time
My best slip looked like this
Reaction -.0365
60 ft. 1.9853
330 f . 5.5913
1/8 et 8.7194
1/8 MPH 74.78
1000 et 11.8284
1000 MPH 72.96
1/4 et 14.9149
1/4 MPH 71.88
Now I just need to figure out why I was starving (fuel filter maybe?) Fix it and get back out there
(Oh, and the cars raceweigto is about 3500 lbs)
Well shoot....I figured you were posting a burnout vid.
Man it's hot out. I had to come in for some cool air, almost 90* here and humiiiiid. Too hard on an old fat guy, lmao.
Trying to get my top end components done.
Well, Ima bought done for today, except maybe some small tinkerin'.
I got the Edelbrock Elite series covers polished and the new hex head inserts it.

Of course the air cleaner didn't quite match so I had to 'fix' that, lol.

With some patience and a bit of work, I was able to put this together for around 800 bucks.
