Finally got the 68 1/2 pure stock Mustang coupe out to the track

That car is looking good, Steve. Running good, too. Good luck this weekend.

Going Sunday for sure, now saying 64 degree's and sunny .

:3gears:

 

Good luck! Look forward to seeing the 11's

 

Were you able to make it to the track on Sunday ?

 

Went out on Sunday 65 and sunny unfortunately there was a 15-20 mile headwind . Was planning on raising the shift point to 6500 and make a pass or two .One the first pass after I left the line and noticed the tach was still set at 6000 .It ruffled me a bit and somehow short shifted first at 5000 and did shift into third at 6500 .Still ran a 12.15 at 113.07 off the trailer and warmed up a bit .Next pass was a 10 minutes later or less had a 1.80 60 ft went 12.03 at 113.54 . Since it didn't seem to help it much thought to short shift at 5700 next couple of pass's both times it spun off the line and ran 12.25 at 113 with 2.07 60 ft times. I guess it will be spring before the 11's time slip happens . Time to do some tweaking and small changes at least there is a known baseline now.

 

Get her figured out. B nice 2 c another cool Ford @ Pure Stock

 

Thinking of retarding the cam 2 degrees and trying that to kill a bit of bottom end power,had tried 4 degrees in the 69 car but that was to much .This car makes more power so 2 shouldn't kill it to much down low . Should I take it to a chassis dyno first or go ahead and set it now .

 

I'd do it now to get a baseline before any changes.

 

Nice rare car

 

Did some messing around yesterday and if you push on my 69 CJ cars rad support it will bounce up and down a bit as it should. The 68 car doesn't move at all up or down. Steve Arp said the front end did very little movement on launch but yet it still 60 ft's well .Need to figure out what the issue is and get it moving for better weight transfer and better 60 ft's. .A bit better 60 ft with no other changes should get it in the 11's this spring.

 

Leave it ALONE !!!! How do you expect me to beat you if you keep working on it ???? :bla:

 

I want to be able to toy with you :grin: :3gears:

Sure is quiet in here lately.Got new coil springs ordered and getting a light weight starter .Going to adjust the valves for the first time and make other tweaks.Cant wait to get back to the track in a couple months . Should be able to shave another 2-4 tenths off under the right conditions .
