1972 Dodge Colt

Test and Tune tonight at Xtreme.
Did not go as expected.
I do think it launched better, 3500 clutch drop.
I saw the shift light in first, 6500.
But in second it got to 4000 and fell on it's face.
Then the trans or throwout bearing started screaming.
Not sure what it was, but coasted thru and then the engine died.
I looked down and the gas pedal was on the floor.
Throttle shaft had slipped around yet again.
I took the hood off at the top end and pushed the lever back to get the pedal back.
Started right up, but going back to the trailer started hearing those weird noises in 3rd.
So I need to get it up in the air and see what I can figure out.
Might be it for this year.
Well poop Stan, that sux, the throttle no biggie but trans noises.....not welcome news..
