67 Dart 270...Project Old School

After getting the new strut rods installed I got the car aligned for the first time. The guy I use is out in the country with this big old barn full of the latest Hunter equipment. He got my alignment all squared away and the car drives like a dream.

This past Saturday night I headed to the drag strip and ran in the Arm Drop Drags. I used the opportunity to tune on the Dart and try some of the suggestions from the Racers Forum. Dialing in some additional timing I was able to run the following:

60ft 1.922
330ft 5.457
660ft 8.444
MPH 82.07
1000 11.034
1/4 13.233
MPH 102.58

The only changes for this trip to the track was resetting the float levels on the carb and dialing in 20 degrees initial timing (up from 16.5). I am getting tantalizingly close to the 12s.
