Forgot about the passport Gtimer performance computer in my glove box. Was only able to do a few runs when it was still nice, still need to tweak timing and carb. [Itching to scrap up 2grand to get a Holley EFI kit with auto tune and then slap a turbo on it. If Ohio didn't make NOS an automatic street racing offence[they keep your car], id put a 200shot on it instead[cheaper].] Best run [with the car as is, all my junk, tools, speakers boxes, full spare n hydro jack... all the junk id remove at a track] 18.02sec 1/4mi at 73.9MPH with a little spin on 1-2 shift. 15.0 sec 1000ft [NHRA rules are now 1000ft And Ill gladly take a 15sec new rules 1/4 time slip running heavy ] 2.50 60ft 0-50 7.80 0-60 11.05
Back when I had my 1982 Cougar GS Station Wagon with the 200 six and C5 auto tranny my wrist watch timed 0-60 in about 22 seconds. So I'm thinking the quarter mile would be close to 65 in about 24.
I assume that you're talking about E.T.s for our street cars. My '67 Polara that was at this time used to tow our race car would run mid-15s fully loaded. This is the day after picking up my '64 with a bone stock 318 Poly that hadn't been run in probably 15 years and was sporting 2.76 gears. 16.52 @ 83mph.
That would be my other handicap, I still got highway gears in the rear and they don't make parts for the 12bolt I got. Oh I know they make 12 bolt parts but not for this odd bastard, can't even get a cover gasket that fits.
My '65 Chevelle 2-dr wagon ran 13.53 @ 110 in the early '80's! 396, T-400, 3:55 12-bolt and the stock converter! Hooker, Holley, Crower, and Accell helped, with some oval-port headwork, too! Never got back to 'The Grove' with a B+M Holeshot, but ran my buddies 12:20 383 Vega on the street, and got him by 4 cars!! Still have the timeslips, somewhere!
my three is the slowest time’s to cover the 1/4 miles because it would be by man power pushing on the rear tail gates because it not running:floor_jack:. any of the 3 wagon's do not move under there own power any more.
I'm betting if I speed shift the Fairmont's 4-speed, I can get it to run in the 17's. My only problem would be too much traction from the Trac-Loc I put in it and spitting the driveshaft!!
my 68 Falcon wag with a bone stock 289..ran a 16.07 my 64 Merc wag with a stock 352 ran a 16.70 my 77 Punto wag with a 2300 auto ran a 19.40 my 63 falcon wag with a boner stock 170c/i six/cyl and a 2spd auto.....a 23.02.. ...mind ya...its only good for about 70 mph...downhill...with a back wind
Did you guys ever watch Pinks where the starter drops his arms to get the cars going, then turns and runs between the cars? With my luck, he'd beat me to the 60' trigger.
