Yes I drove to the track tonight and put 2 passes on my 63. I had some problems and found out it was way lean.
First pass it just would not rev good and felt real flat......11.27 @ 113 !

Yuk but my brother was watching and he said it looked good as it pulled about 6 inches under the front wheels but I said it felt real bad. I had just stuck the 850 DP on that was on my old 440 and I knew it needed more carb but I used what I had. Well we pulled the 80 primary jets and put 86's in. Car started fine and idled fine. Next and final pass for the night.........11.04 @ 121.42. Ok we made a drastic jet change to find out we are going in the right direction. We were going to pull the secondary bowl but I decided to call it a night as my back was hurting alot and my left knee was giving me alot of pain and I was not up to any more work. So I called it a night telling myself that 11.04 @ 121 is not to bad for the second ever pass on my pump gas full exh 3700 lb street car that I drove the 90 mile round trip. I will pull the carb and work it over this week. I wish I had a Dominator or a nice 950 to try but I will use what I have. I honestly think it has easy 10.80's or better and I hope to find out soon. I know I could have jetted the secondary side and came home with a 10.9 something pass but I was just not up to it. I had fun and hope to get back to the track in a month or so. Ron

Geez, 11.04 @ 121 first time out, 3700#, DRIVEN there and back...

GREAT first couple of laps! Congrats!!!!

Sorry about your pains, but you're right..it's alot less fun when you're hurting, is it?

This fall it will go in the 10's EASY with the 850, but yea it probably needs more air and fuel.

I am impressed Ron, that thing is running nice and strong! And the fact that it is a pump gas engine that can be driven and knock of 10 second passes is saying something in my book! I myself would like to see my car run an easy 11.50 or so with its current gear and driveline setup and I would be a happy man! Your are definitly running old school iron and showing the guys with modern muscle that the older cars can still perform and show them some taillights.

cool !
glad it went well
maybe you need to step up to a proform 950 or Hp1000,bit bigger than a Holley 850
they are cheap enough on your end of the world

Congrats Ron
I thought 10.90's first time out, so i wasn't to far off. I agree with Tex a 950 or bigger carb would help it, maybe play with timing and carb jetting.
At least you had no major issues.
What were your 1/8 mile times and 60ft, also weather.

That car is definitely smelling of the 10's!! I bet it felt good to return to the track after such a long absence. Has your job situation improved? Keep us posted.

Good first outing for sure. You need a 1050 dominator in my opinion and the 2-circuit works fine on the street when dialed in. Save yourself lots of pain and wear and tear on your motor and install a wide band..............you`ll get that 10 sec. pass first time out after tweeking it on the street and not hurt your motor.

CONGRATS RON! I agree with Thumper. A 1050 will do that motor right! I agree 10.80's in your future. Gotta feed the beast!

Congrat's on the first outing Ron, Good #'s

X2 on the wideband, I installed one on my car this year and it's been real helpful.

Good deal Ron, been looking forward to that

6" wheelies are pretty good for a street car

Sounds like a good first outing. Little carb tuning with what to got will get you that 10 in hot weather.


Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.

Most 950 carbs are smaller than an 850 DP so don't go backwards.

The only "true" 950 that I'm aware of is the new 80805 Holley. Otherwise you might as well stick with the 850 and just get it dialed in correctly.

Congratulations Ron!! Great job with the new motor and very nice times so far. 10's are in the bag. Was that Cecil that you ran at?

Best of luck with you new motor.
