I Have a situation

should be easy to get into the 14's with that car. i know the rag top is a little heavier but my 64 valiant with a pretty stockish 78 360 went 14.1 in the quarter..

it was a stock 78 360
performer intake
comp 268h cam
stock electronic ign with re-curved dist
600 holley
stock 273 manifold that really choked it with a 2" dual exhaust system..
904 with manual valve body.
converter wasn't anything special.. stockish. maybe a stock high stall..
8 3/4 rear with 3.55 sure grip.
some regular passenger car tire. 205/70-14. aired them down and it hooked good..
suspension was a mess..lol.
