If it were a 70 it'd be a beauty to go hurt some feelings with!

It's tough because the combo would never be competitive in stock appearing races, just not the right car. I'm not an expert in SA vs FAST or pure stock, but the car doesn't seem to be 'extreme' enough for it, and yet too extreme to be 'just a car'. I can completely understand the set of...

Hard to price but probably easier to sell than my turbo fury :rofl: Our special creatures take special owners. I would think maximum dollars to fund the 71 would come from selling the stroker and putting a stock engine in the car.

I have an a500 behind my turbo 383 in the fury

I don't like 3.55 either. 3.23 or 3.91 - pick one that'll do what you want, not the one in the middle that does neither.

Stuff only breaks if you have traction. 500 isn't a big deal for OEM parts.

It's normal for these 50 yrs old cars and systems that are corroding and rotting. Even 25yrs ago we had cars with the base alternator dim at idle at night. Check for resistance in the various circuits

I'll be towing mine back, first snow with a little salting happened before I made it

Nice! I've still got to fix a turbo return oil line leak and get mine back to Iowa for hibernation

well, you may just be feeling the mechanical effort in the booster with the car off, presumably you're not creating any real psi at the wheels with the engine on or off. Where in Iowa are you?

An immediate pedal to the floor is a big problem that should in theory be easy to find. With the engine running so you have boost, no amount of pumping will build any pedal feel?

Definitely not enough thread engagement. Are those wheels supposed to use a through style lug nut or conventional conical seat?

Unfortunately you can't test a clutch fan like that, unless maybe it has absolutely no resistance. There is no bench test for them. Your idle screws making no difference is a indicating a hidden problem yet. What carb? What were your vacuum readings with different timing settings?

Nice. I'll hit a quarter century with my fury this November. 28 years with my Coronet

On a fusie at least I've used 2bbl kickdown on 4bbl by using a small nut and bolt as a stop in the slot to get correct engagement

I don't understand how anyone doesn't love a double pumper. :thumbsup: Carterbrocks are hard hot starters on e10 and come calibrated very lean. I suppose a 600-650cfm is ok on a 440 for a Sunday drive car, but why don't yall just own a 318 car at that point? :poke::D

What exhaust manifold is on that car, it's not the soldier upswept max wedge ones

Pretty sure no. I have both ones back at the shop I'm pretty sure. The shafts are definitely different.

Fender looks good? Fenders and deck lid? Manual steering for anyone doing a race car

What does a vacuum gauge say with the advance off, hooked up, and when you mess with the initial timing? Normally I'd say a shudder like that is too much vac advance too soon. Should be adjustable with Allen wrench in vac port.
