Thanks now that you said that I remember hearing that and it makes sense!

It's definitely not stock. I was guessing but planned to try 22 psi

First off thanks. Ok on center of gravity I don't have scales but have been thinking about weighing my car at the feed store anyway. If I weigh just the front then the whole thing I should be able to get close with measuring to give me a front to rear weight center. But as far as the up and...

Thanks man it's only taken 20 years. I swear there was always something keeping me from getting it done. Ended up trading a fox body mustang I picked up dirt cheap to a body guy for him to put quarter skins and trunk floor/ dropoffs in it and the mini tubs. My welding isn't what it used to be...

Ok so here's what I have been rolling around in my head. Maybe racers can help me. I'm going to make a trip to the dragstrip with my 68 Dart this summer. Street tires just to see what it does. It's got the US. Car tools spring relocation setup on it. That has 3 front spring eye holes. I've got...

Did you know Chief Dave and some of them were actually on pinks? Was some of the early episodes. Can be found on YouTube.

. Thanks for that link. Very informative and will certainly help me out on this and other projects as well.

It's an Edelbrock 7186 with a spacer between it and the throttle body.

Ok let me chime back in here and clear some stuff up for you all. Thanks for the replies by the way. . It has the Champion plug that Edelbrock suggested to run with the heads on it. All the ignition components such as wires, coil, coil driver are new and there are no missfires. It has a...

No sir, no additives just 100% 87 octane gasoline.

Good point. I really don't inspect them that close when I put them in. Other than check the gap.

Thanks for the info. Actually that was 2 plugs one from #3 one from the #2. Easy ones to get to for a quick check of an inner and an litter. But I understand what you are saying about looking at them all before anything else. With the one being cracked I'm replacing them all so I will get a...

RC12YC. Yea I saw the cracked insulator on the one the other one wasn't. Picking up a set tomorrow and will see what the others look like. Thinking I need to back the timing up a bit from the looks of the heat on the side electrode.

Sorry I had one image on there wrong. I'm needing help with the reading of the spark end not theletters or numbers. But to answer your question in case I'm misunderstanding. It's a pump gas big block with eddy heads.

Hey does this look like too much timing to y'all. I haven't had any pinging that I have heard but these seem kinda hot on the electrode to me. But I'm no plug reader for timing by any means . Anyone with experience help me out?
