Post subject: | Strip/Street '68 Signet |
'68 Signet originally bought in Aug 03 to be a 100% strip only car. Decided later to keep a tag on it for 20%/80% street/strip use. Starting off as a well worn Signet with 140K miles. 225, 904, PS, AC, radio, dented trunk lid and LF fender, rust in front floors-quarters-rear window-various small spots, ratty interior. Improvements so far, well maybe not improvements but changes; new front end bushings new brake shoes new front drums new brake hoses new aluminum MC and AFE adapter wheel cylinders rebuilt good used 185x75x13 tires SunPro tach, oil, water gages Hurst Quarter Stick TA Cheeta valve body MP 6x1 header, 3" exh with cheap straight thru muffler BBD MP chrome box, Blaster II coil, 14* initial-16*mechanical-in by 2000rpm Change PS to MS Remove AC Remove wiper assembly Remove heater box Remove radio Remove damaged door panels Remove rotten carpet Remove front & rear bench seats, replace with- Two lightweight plastic racing seats So, off to the track last nite to see what it will run. Put it on the scales, 2680lb, too bad the driver adds 295 more ! Shifting at 4000rpm 17.77@77 Shifting at 4400rpm 17.44@78 Plan is to upgrade rear axle and wheels before work starts on reinstalling some home made door panels, carpet and reparing rust for a roller type paint job. Upgrades will be; A body 8.75, spool, axles, 4.30 gear 14x4.5 front steel wheels 15x7 rear steel wheels tires, whatever fits Hope to have these improvements done by May for the Slant Six Race in Valdosta GA. |
