she's alive! went out today and moved the dist just a tiny bit advanced and she was really wanting to run so just messed around with it for a while and paw! she's running. surprisingly there wasn't that much smoke. there was a lot at first but it ran for a good solid minute before it sucked all the fuel from the container i had the line ran to. by the end it was still smoking but not that bad. i mean, i would drive it and just tell people it's diesel. the valves all sounded good so i guess i did that close to right. she seemed to run pretty darn well for not running in over 3 years. i greatly appreciate everyone on here that helped me with this. i would have been lost without your help. |

What tires and rear ratio do you have? It's really hard to get a 2.76:1 to spin... with a SG installed at least... you might have a one legger, but I betcha you could do it! Here's what you do: 1. Get some dish soap ready 2. Apply liberally to the tire on the passenger side rear 3. Call your buddy 4. Burn that tire! The soap makes for a nice slickery tire...  ~THOR~ |

i'm not sure of the ratio. haven't taken the diff cover off yet but i know it doesn't have a sure grip so yeah it will be a one tire fire but that's cool with me. i'm gonna make twenty bucks! |

 All right! Congratulations! And ditto what Dan said: kudos to you for having the patience and desire to go slow, do it right, and ask questions and listen to the answer. I haev been where you are and I know how discouraging it is to try for days to get a motor to run. The hardest part is over though, and now the real fun can begin. Good job! |

Pump about 45 psi into the right rear tire... that will help it break loose.  DD |

A little bit of bleach and you can spin most any tire. With my '66 Dart 2 door sedan I once roasted the right rear down to the belts. The belts were hitting the 1/4 panel, whap, whap, whap. Tire still held air so I drove it to school the next day and changed the tire there. Here is a YouTube video of my friend Dave doing a similar burnout in his 383 powered '70 Satellite 4-door. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_xXvwVTQXQ I've also burned off about 50% of an 8.75R16.5 on my '72 B300 van. Only took about a minute to do. I should mention that was the last half of the tread on that tire and it was bald after that. A few months ago at work I left about a 100' stripe with my '96 Dakota pickup. It was a 4-banger, but with a 1st gear of about 4:1 and 3.55 rear gears it would light 'em up. Add a little brake pressure and you can lay a very long, dark stripe. My new(er) Dakota is an automatic, heavy, has bigger tires and Sure-Grip so it doesn't burn the tires for squat. |

Just be careful not to burn it for too long... the spider gears will get hot enough to weld themselves to the shaft... then you will have a car that does wonderfully going straight, but turns will get interesting... It usually takes awhile for that to happen, so go get that 20 bucks! ~THOR~ |

these are all great suggestions. i will definitely try them if i can't get it roasting with no help. i've never done any of these things to do a burnout. and by burnout i mean sitting in one place roasting the tire(s). my cobra will blow the 315's of the back with little effort and even my cherokee will roast the 33"s thanks to a detroit locker, chromoly axles and 4.56 gears. but i neither of those are 39 years old or stock so we will see what happens. i still plan to make twenty bucks though. maybe i will make a video for youtube. nice vid. by the way Joshie. that thing looked awesome and that's sweet that you have a conquest. there is a guy by my work who builds em. he has like 15. i tried to buy one a long time ago but the deal fell through. |

Good point...It usually takes awhile for that to happen, so go get that 20 bucks! ~THOR~ It's a good idea to top-off the rear end with gear lube before driving the vehicle around and "practicing" it's wheel spinning abilities. DD |
