All of the Stockers became SSers and Stock Eliminator became "PURE" Stock.
Not really a fun time to have a Stocker.

1972 was the first year the Pure Stocks became Stock and Super Stock expanded dramatically.
I ran a 65 Bel Air 4 door sedan with a 230 and a 3 speed in O/Stock.
Best time was a 17.6 at Island.

The cost alone would be tolerable, it's the damage they do when hard or hardened parts break.

Without the crank trigger you can't get a clean signal to the computer. I have spent lots of time and money trying to shield wires, have clean grounds, Magnecor plug wires, etc. but that stuff doesn't work. My tach signal is awful on the data logger and RPM jumps all around especially near finish line. Can't take advantage of my NHRA Accepted EFI system that does almost everything based on RPM. How will I ever get my E-shift to be accurate with this messy tach signal? I know I should have built a different combo silly me.

Oh, wait. Here's three different 305, 4bbl. Malibu wagons that won Divisionals this year, with irregular timing..How do you suppose that happened?

There's a late model GM in Division 1 that won 5 of them with regular timing, and great driving.

PS some rule changes I forgot: Fix the following stupid indexes
K/SA to 12.60, L/SA to 12.75, M/SA to 12.90 and so on..

oh yea, NHRA.TV on Thursdays should be a rule too!

Bobby , You have an E-shift on a 302? See post # 59 on the Enforcement thread.


Totally agree on the index change.

No I’m joking I think it’s dumb and I don’t use it. I use B&M hammer and miss shifts perfectly fine on my own lol.

The 2 year change the belts. The 5 year change the trans shield. Is that piece of equipment really going to go bad? And enforce the rules that are already in the book.

I had a similar problem with my Racepak. I don't know about the Magnecor's but I put a new set of the MSD Super conducters on mine and the rpm trace cleaned right up.
