4.10's with the overdrive Run well.. i had that setup in the '69 dart for many years.

Never had 4.30's in my '69.

Probably a bit much for the highway.

3.91's work very well for a good all around street gear with the OD !

That's what Ryan had in his dart for 10+ years. He drove to several races with them on the highway and they were not bad. He actually towed Seymour's race car to a race with his Dart and O.D. with the 4.30s

Cool stuff.

I never knew that Ryan towed the blue car with the yellow car.

I suspect the lightness of the blue car and the lightness of the trailer helped.

I am working very hard to make the Mason Dixon race. What did I have to do? Pumped the throttle three times, engine started, and I allowed it to warm up. Picked up 5 gallons of race gas. Filled tank. Now I'm ready! :D :D Not true, I still need to wash the car. :mrgreen:

Just sitting in the garage uncovered. I do all kinds of other stuff in the garage too so it gets pretty dusty. To lazy to cover and uncover all the time. :D

Don't forget to wax it. Cuts down on wind drag. :P Good for at least 2 mph

I made a new clutch pedal for my car. Ryan needed one for the blue car and I took mine out and gave it to him. Turns out he used a Wilwood setup and I got mine back. But while it was still out I took a piece of 1/4" plate and a rosebud torch and made an replica except a little bit wider for more strength. Also used a grade * bolt so I can use a lock nut instead of the C-clip mount. Also ordered all new pedal covers and a new throttle pedal. Everyone always teased me about not having a throttle pedal! :D So since I will put new padding and carpet in over next winter when I install the 4 speed, it will get a correct floor mounted throttle pedal. Who knows it may make it faster.

PS. I am planning on heading to MAson Dixon next Saturday for T&T if the weather cooperates. Anyone want to join me?

I drove the car to work yesterday and it ran great! Everything seems good to go. I think I will change the oil tonight and call it good.

Nice. Have you been to a TNT yet?

Ours keep getting rained out.

Take it for a real workout and go up 233 to the south mountain Hotel :D
