Stan, What did it run? What is the shift light set at?
It only sounds like it is turning about 5000 when your shifting. Maybe?

I would give it a longer burn out and launch at a higher RPM and then hold on!

Congrats! Good to see it running!

Rick
I just looked at the slips.
It ran a 9.75 @ 75.81
That is 4215 RPM in high gear.
So I guess I need to really check the shift light indicator.
On my first run it picked the tires around six inches, carried them about 3 feet out and then came down.
That run was similar to the second run ET wise and MPH.
I did cut one good light and it's consistent (ly slow).

Not sure how much higher I want to bring it out, that first launch snapped my head back.
I really need to decide what RPM to launch at.

That hard hit now will not feel as hard later! At 4200 you are just starting to pull. You will sneak up on it little by little.

When I let my friedn's daughter drive my car I lowered the shift light from 6300 to 4900 for her. It slowed the car down a lot.

As Rick said, more seat time will help immensely.

Denis, I need to make sure it's correct, might raise the rev limiter a couple hundred also.

Very exciting! Seems you should run in the 8s at least with that MPH. For sure you will pick up quite a bit when you rev it higher. My experience is that Slants don't pick up a ton of time with tall (high numerical) axle gears. Maybe switch to a lower gear so you're not shifting so frequently?

How heavy is the flywheel?

Bright side is you learned some things, had fun, and loaded up a running race car. Successful day indeed!

Thanks Lou, 4.88 in the Dana.
Maybe change tires.

Dennis, it's 35 lbs. plus disk and pressure plate.
Has to be over 40 lbs.
I guess I do need to keep that weight spinning.

Might need to leave a little higher.

I left @ 5200 with the '69 Dart - ~3400# with a 4.10 Gear. Stockish Street slicks etc.

I am pretty sure Team Grean Left at a Higher RPM as well.

Glad you are getting it out there and having fun!

Working on my Webers. I got my jet set and have them all together.
Next working on the linkage and fuel line.

Looking good Stan!

PS. I accidentally ordered a shim set for a Dana 60 ring & pinion. Not worth sending back. Send me your address again and I will mail them to you.

Rick

Thanks Rick, that is a very nice gesture.
This linkage is a mess!
Going to spend a little time getting it all sorted.
And fuel lines too.
Do you find you have to remove the tops often?
I am thinking about three separate lines if I do take them off.
Float level and anything else I might need to tweek.

No, I set the float levels when I installed them and never touched them until I removed them and changed the venturi to 40mm.

The Red line linkages are a bit nicer with 3 mounting posts.

Ryan is running the Clifford on his. Pretty sure he is running 3 separate carb linkages

Got my linkage almost done.
I need some 10-32 left handed jam nuts. And the right ones also.
Forgot to order them from McMaster Carr.
Here is what I have now.

Rick, I got those shims, thank you.
