    Unfortunutly shes got a Super turbine " turdbine "400, wish it was a dynoflow. That switch pitch is hard to beat. We got a 63 Wildcat with a 401 and a Dynoflow, we got a choke cable hooked to the lever so i can stall the car or i can pull it out anytime . Works great!!


    We drove the car to the strip instead of trailering it. Thats about 60 miles one way. And made 5 passes. Car did fine, no problems other than car nosing over and running out of gas. We almost won every race until she nosed over and then they went by, very strong runnin. Were gonna run slicks sometime. The car was spining the first half of 60 ft. a 2.18 60 ft time. After shifting the car, the car shifts itself almost immediately to drive. The car starts nosing over about 3 car lengths from the first 1/8 mi box at 68 mph. E.T was 9.78

    Sunday we took the front bowl off the carb and changed the jets from 76 to 82, the float was stuck, found a 1/2" high quarter moon shaped gasket in the needle and seat chamber. This was keeping the gas from coming in the carb we also changed the timing then ran car and seems to be doin alot better. Goin back this weekend to test again. Hopefully better times. Will post. Thanks, Donny

    Well done! I was just wondering what kind of motor mounts did you use. The stance of the car looks great as well. Congrats!
