I managed to get 6 passes in before I left.

1st pass was with everything posted above and netted a

1.75 60 foot
7.829 1/8th
12.323 at 108.17 mph

2nd pass I put a borrowed 850 on and the car slowed to a
1.816 60 foot
7.907 1/8th
12.403 at 109.16 mph

3rd pass I put my back-up 750 on that I have never been able to get a hesitation out of at the hit...and yes it stumbled netting a

1.888 60 foot
8.068 1/8th
12.590 at 108.73

Throw the 4th pass out as the loose nut behind the wheel missed the 2-3 shift with the factory column shift.. whistling

5th pass I had the first carb back on with the jets changed to 73 primary and 78 secondary. No other changes...

1.754 60 foot
7.867 1/8th
12.354 at 109.13 mph

6th pass was no mechanical changes from above but did try to raise the shift points...I know it stuttered on the 2-3 shift...

1.799 60 foot
7.856 1/8th

I've made 6 passes in 1985...3 in 1988...1 in June of 2014 and the 6 I made yesterday.

Tach is almost 1500 rpm off of what the ignition box says (when the MSD rev limiter was set at 6500 tach shows 8,000 before stuttering...this was raised to 7200 before going to the track not knowing what I might need in high gear at the stripe)

I can't swear that I made any two given shifts at the same point but on every pass except the last one I tried to shift around 6500.

I look at the different #'s and just runaway

One thing I did notice was the 2-3 shift is a couple cars or so before the 1/8th mile and once I'm in high gear it definitely doesn't pull as hard as it used to before the cam and intake swap.

Depending on the weather I'd like to go back down next w/e with the 3.23's in the way the car is normally driven. I'm curious as to how it runs without the gear and so much dead time in high gear.
There's no one local running similar times to compare sheets to so I'm not sure if it is good anywhere or just average everywhere...

Appreciate any info you have to offer...
