I use to help several different SB Mopar NHRA Stock and several different Mopar Super Stock class racers years ago, several of them held the NHRA records for their classes boogie Gene Buehl held the E/SA for two years a long time ago work Same thing later in C/SA with a different car but not as long.
All of those type cars are very high maintenance, not easy to make them run faster either work
Go back to the basics and try to figure out what went wrong and when it started to go downhill scope
The car and time slips are talking to you, the hard part is trying to figure out what it is saying exactly and understanding what is causing those changes on the cars performance work
Do you buy fresh racing gas for every race? If not try starting with that up

I just wanted to say thank you to everybody. I appreciate the input and I will report what I find. I am going to look at the car slowly and carefully from bumper to bumper. I did find the the pre-load on the traction bars were wrong, and the gap on the impulse of MSD was wide (Thank you Myron). Question, what do you recommend for grounding the MSD.

I like to have every ground attached to the neg. post with copper. Block and heads need to have good grounds. Alternator (and electric motor) wiring needs to be kept away from from ignition wiring.

Was the engine dyno'd with the same fuel you're using? Seems to me most stocker guys are using C11.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
