I got to watch him run in the outher lane at a T&T at Atco, he was out packing the shoot and I had just shifted in to second gear that car realy leaves .

Anything 2,800 or more is not real light. I realize these guys also run sheetmetal intakes that's good for some extra power. My question is.... Has anyone with one of these heavy cars running one of these screamers been able to do it with a powerglide? If so I want a converter just like theirs. I have been beating on my small block and just can't get the car to ET. I feel my MPH is OK. Could always be better. But. I am satisfied with 153MPH in a 2,925 car with full exhaust and an unported cast intake. I am just really disqusted with the ET. I can not run my car in comp due to the front suspension. And the only street classes that I could run in my car is over the line for that too. The engine does not suit my interests anymore, that's why it is for sale. But, if I could borrow or buy that perfect converter that would take the anker off my car through the 330 I feel my ET would come to life. This sure would help sell this engine.

JimS from MP told me at PRI show only 29 of those manifolds were ever cast.... I was blown away by that low # because I've owned about 5 of them at one time or another. I can think of at least 6 people that have them on their cars at the moment.... & I get at least one call a week from GM guys looking for them.

Leon Leon: Paul Ricci ran a glide at 2800 lbs for years and it would 60' around 1.17 to 1.18 at the time. It left real hard when he ran the Baracuda and then the Avenger. He did pick up 0.15 when he switched to the Profilte though. He uses A-1's 7" converters. Just an FYI: My car also picked up 0.15 in the 1/4 with the proflite and almost 4 MPH over the glide. Paul is usually at the East coast divisionals and NHRA events like Englishtown and Maple grove. Nice guy to talk to. Last edited by SCDaytona; 12/21/08 03:57 PM.

Send Marv your dyno sheet and talk to him about your combination and I am sure he can fix you up with the right converter. I know that you will go faster with a pro flite though. My mph is similar to yours. It usually goes 151 or 152 and it only went 154 a couple of times. I do have a sheet metal intake with 2 1050 Dominators. Last edited by ValiantRich; 12/21/08 11:32 PM.

Marv recently sold A-1 but he still works there. They moved from California to Washington. Phone numbers are the same and is listed in National Dragster. There are many different gear ratios available. I run a 2.13 first gear.
