No, they didn't all have them. Up through 71 they had them on the RH fender. I've heard that some made it into early 72. After that, not likely.

I like the Tom Hand book, whatever it's called.

I'm pretty sure David Freiburger has the TTI 1.75 on the Crop Duster with ps. Engine is shown at 1:29

I like watching Joes videos. It seems like he knows what he's doing to me. Lot of reasons the engine could be making the measured output and not be showing it at the track. Dragging brakes, bent rear end, bad front end alignment, etc. I get the impression that Joe has a lot of projects going on...

72 Duster 73+ discs 15x6 4.0bs Wheel Vintiques rallyes with 205/70-15. Same car 15x4 1.75 bs Vision Sport Star 2, 165/80-15.

I think this is true. I was always under the assumption that the stall speed matched to the rpm where the torque peaked (or thereabouts) would give the greatest acceleration. But then I read an article in which an engine builder said that a real race car never operates down at peak torque. It...

I couldn't really read your cam card. The few numbers I could make me think it's an XE268. Maybe a few more details? engine size,etc? Is the carb new? From 1984 to 2019, I drove exclusively 60s-70s cars with carbs as daily drivers , all kinds of weather . But I'm a weirdo.

We have AJ's math and we have actual drag strip times from 318willrun's lo comp 360 duster. I'm not gonna go through old posts to refresh my memory, but I believe he went 13.90s with stock converter and 2.45s. 12.80s with SM heads , 2800 stall and 3.23s. And we have Holdeners dyno results...

Ended in 71, I think . My 71 RR had it ,my 72 Duster didn't.
