Yeah, guess i should have at least listed the engine, i just got carried away typing. Sorry about that, anway the engine is a 73' 302 with the major mods listed above. Here is a complete list of performance mods:
Edelbrock 600 cfm manual choke carb with 1 inch spacer
Edelbrock single plane aluminum high rise torquer intake
Hooker long tube headers with 3 inch 1 chamber flowmasters
Crane cam hyd. flat tappet, 296/300 adv. dur. with new lifters, new pushrods, stock springs for now, stock rockers
Stock flowing heads for now
Cam bearings, crank bearings, and main bearings installed
Stock type points distributer with autolite plugs and accel superstock wires, new cap and rotor
some other stuff i can't think of
Rebuilt racing c-4 trans with mild shift kit
stock stall for now
Stock rear, previous owner claimed 8.8'' with 3.73's but it don't feel like it.
Future plans are 3000 rpm stall and 4.11's. Also, plans for head porting this summer
Friend at work said the timing needed advanced, so im gonna try that. It just is not running worth a crap right now, no acceleration whatsoever. It needs tuned bad. Hopefully with 2800 lb race weight, a tune, 3000 stall and 4.11's i will be running mid 13's this summer. The valvetrain also needs adjusted, the other day a rocker arm came loose so i tightened it back down but am not sure if it is correct. Any help on the slow acceleration would be greatly appreciated.
