Here's the best I can tell you as dad has the log book with him ( logs every pass no matter who is driving). this is a 1bbl carb running holley style jets... with an 82 in it the car ran hott real fast i mean 200 right after a pass ( to lean) with 89 in it the car you could see a trace of smoke coming out of the car as it staged. the 85 seemed the best so that's what was in it last weekend. Now then fuel system has been in the car for 3 years. the cyl head is fresh. the balancer is a maybe as it is stock. Thing is we didn't move the timing...the car right out of the box ran 9.50's now then it's running 9.70's (1/8) the last passes I made with the car were a 9.71 we then changed tires & it went 9.73 I then went up & tried to "flat foot" the car & it went 9.70. i then went up for the "dial n 4 dollars" & it ran a 9.709 on a 9.70 then 1st round it went 9.712...so it's running ok just slow? dad dose think it may be in the rings...don't know but we got rings in for the "good" motor so he's going to put it back together for the spring....that engine will run some 9.30's. THANKS for all the help...we're going to try it again this weekend & see if we can find anything....mean while we changed header this week....so who knows!
