Inching into 12's..... 2.94's vs 3.23's

Congrats! How much to load the converter is definitely the trick. It sounded like the converter is really tight or it is just how smooth you roll into it. Little free things that I have found that could help efficiency. I had a VERY slight flutter, turned out that the rotor sat high enough on the distributor that it would arc up to the terminal instead of horizontally. So the timing would be erratic just the slightest bit. You would see arc marks on the top of the terminal. Filed the rotor a bit so it sits lower. Flutter gone. I also used to have to run over 1/2 tank of fuel. Which because of the shape of an A body tank is more than 1/2 the capacity of the tank. IIRC it was like 12-13 gallons. Not cheap, but I put Holley hydra mat in the tank and now I run 2 gallons. 60 lbs of fuel weight out of the car. Wrong end of the car, but 60 lbs is 60 lbs
