Congrats on all your hard work, great incentive for the rest of us with unfinished cars. Are you running 90/10 shocks?
Regards Derek

I had a good "broke it?" story from last year at Spring Fling Speed Festival road course event, 2500 mi from home in Willow Springs, CA.

Late in the day, I was pushing the car harder around the track (64 Dart), and cutting faster laps. In one of the last sessions, I was in the middle of turn 2 (long sweeper at 80 MPH), and a big cloud of smoke came out the back of the car. I saw it and immediately let off. Took the rest of the lap slow and kept thinking "dang, I blew the motor (head gask, rings...)" and imagined swapping a junkyard motor in to get home...

Pulled into the pits, sweaty, and checked oil/motor, crawled around underneath. TADAAAH! It was just the vent tube on my diff spitting some gear oil on the rear exh resonator. Need to get a puke can on that thing next time out...

Whew. Just took a couple more laps at lower speed to finish the day, and the car was a champ all the way home to VA!

I am surprized someone didn't call me out of the above statement.

First pass I ran about 13.3 AFR. This surprized me that the cooler less humid weather lean me out that much. For the uncapped run I jetted up from 62 to 64 in the secondaries and I ran 12.9 AFR.
No more track play for me as I need to start concentrating on the A/C season ahead.
I put the street tires back on and wow they are fun. I hadn't had them on with this Holley 390 carb yet. From a stand still, slam the throttle and it will burn the tires (BFG Radial TA 235-60-15) through 1st gear and well into 2nd.

good video, car sounds strong, for the converter bolts i had to go to the same size as crank 7/16`s and the s.b mopar flex plate and red loc-tite torque to 55ftlbs, never backed off again. as for your 60ft`s if you spin the tires and your mph/ ets improve with slower 60`s ft times try a shorter tire or lower gears it will help the engine rpm faster.
