If the “adjusted “ converter didn’t pick the car up then it came out and we tried something different

That way you never lost what you had and that worked with Q-Jets too...

No computers just 1320’ and a time slip...

Marv Ripes was a way ahead of the curve when he said load up your car and come down to OCIR for a test session with 60’ clocks...

He said bring work clothes and he sat at a card table with the first 60’ clocks that I had ever seen...

We worked our butts off and ran 5 or 6 different converters through the race car that day and I would like to add it was a productive day

That's exactly how it's done!!!!!!!!

Bob, kudos, for sure! But I got tired just reading it!
Protecting a soft horse power factor, running an unpopulated class, and drinking beer is another way. lol. Mike Smith taught me that. (RIP)
We didn’t go real fast, but we had a good time and won a few rounds. 11.60’s on (at the time), an 11.85 index. At the time, 25 years ago, D/SA was that class in Div 1. Mr. Horensky kicked our butts, and we did pretty well staying away from Nick Reiter. I don’t remember any others. (I’m sure there were a few.) We also had other engine combos planned, but we never got to try them out.
Pardon the hijack.
