Just how quick were the 273 Commando's in the Quarter-Mile.
Johnny Dart
Back in 1968,
My Mother got down into the 14.40's @ 96 MPH with 4.56 Gears, and the previous
listed up-grades while she was running in 'J/Stock'.
Still, nothing done to the Engine yet.
Some issues developed.
#1 > The 'stock' Flywheel was too light, especially when 'off-the-line' Traction was good.
#2 > The 'Valves' now floated at Top-End, stalling any more power.
#3 > The Lifters 'hourglass-shaped' split.
#4 > Several Push-Rods were over-stressed, and 'bent'.
