there is a southern AZ mustang meeting and test and tune today.... gotta get the rockers tightened... try and get the new alternator put it from the tempo and get the dang thing timed properly.... also taking some spark plugs down with me and see how the new jets are doing... hope it goes well.. if anyone will be at SIR today... look for me... the ONLY yellow primered maverick, half of it is sanded....lol
Hey have you ever had a chance to get down to Phoenix. Me and my Dad always go down to the car meet every Friday on 35th Ave and Northern. All kinds of nice cars. No imports allowed, it's nice to see all of the old hot rods and muscle cars.
weather was great.... nice cool temps....even got cold enough to have to wear a sweat shirt...but i left mine in the car when we were watching.... oh well first run was 15.077 at 91.39 (timing was 35* at 3000) second run was 15.081 at 93.02 (changed the plugs... gapped to .050) last run was 15.142 at 92.47 (timed to 37* at 3000....and discovered that the advance is at 3600 rpms... need to change springs..maybe? thought??) i dfont understand why it ran a 14.5 last year and this year its a 15 second car... its really frustrating... but... i met a guy who owns a 72 grabber... his name is Dennis Dosch. Don Graham knows him... and his grabber ran 12.4 all night....and went all the way to the last round int he dash for the cash and got beat... mustang ran a 11.12 with 11.11 dial and dennis went 12.45 with a 12.42 dial.... oh man...maybe next time... i told dennis to register and get in here.... we will see... but i did learn a few things.... Dennis is running almost identical setups as me...only differences are..... he has 4.11 gear and slicks and he has a lunati cam in the .520 range... so i know what i need to run in the 12's and 13's.... YAY!
yeah.... when i ran the 14.5 it was 2 days after my tranny was built.... and in december in tucson arizona... i think the outside temp that day was about 65... ?? maybe?? not sure exactly.... they dont print the temp and humidity on the slips....
Yeah, people from other states think I'm weird when I say, "It was cold today". Then they ask me what the temp. was, and I say it was in the 60's.
aww man.. you had to say that didnt you... i will see what i can do... if you know anyone that has a dual car hauler going to firebird ... ask them if they have room...... hehehe
look me up if you make it. last year i won the gallop for the gold on saturday and split the money for quick ford. hope to do good this year, but no matter what it's still fun.
