What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

I dont know what these numbers mean but rods left on the street are never a good thing.

 

Pulled into the backyard...stomped it and got squirrelly for the company. Then I parked it and cracked open an adult beverage. A 250 seems like a powerhouse in the grass! Lol

 

I would try the grass thing...but I only have a 200 CID so... less power house.

That and I don't have any grass to try it in...and I don't want a ticket for doing on neighbors or city parks lawn..

 

5.80's 1/8th mile et

For you 1/4 mile guys thats low 9's @140+ mph

 

Geezz Bro its good you only do 8ths, I dont think any motor could stand your Lead Footin for more than 6.1

 

More sanding this morning. No vomit in the back yard. Im gonna have Thing One and Thing Two build me a spray booth tommorro. A small 8' X 8' X 8' for body parts.

 

My old 200 got 26 mpg on the highway but honestly wouldn't brake torq on a wet road. Must've been a gearing thing. :16suspect

 

Over all a less than productive day. I started her up and listened to her run for a bit with a little bit of hillbilly rigging. Scuffed all the old rust off the gas tank before I seal it later.

 

Jeff and Earl came down today and we found where that wire comes from...fuel pump fuse...
being my fuel pump quit working that was a good thing...thanks Guys...:Handshake

 

thanks!!

 

I cleaned the insides of my hubcaps.

 

Mounted the fuel cell, N2O bottle and brackets, battery box and the battery kill switch in the 73.

Did a bunch of grinding and sanding then I decided to fab a bracket for the rachet shifter that we are using. I had to cut a piece of sheet metal a little larger than the opening for the factory automatic floor shifter then weld it over the factory trans. inspection panel. It is a little high but I think it will work great once we get the racing bucket in it.

Last night we were running 1/4 mile lol bumped the limiter in high (6,700) i think it was just to much shock load for the stock rods/bolts.

You can only push these junkyard motors so far the cast aluminum pan done a good job containing the mess id hate to think of what a full oil drop at 140+ would had been like

 

I've seen that happen it is UGLY. I mean two paper bags over the face UGLY. I used to work at a racetrack.

Good job on keeping everything off of the track. Sorry to hear about the car though.
