eric, i have problem that only a few on this board can relate to.

on my dragster, 4 link rocker arm setup, with the (apparently) first generation afco shocks.

the car worked really good with previous owners setup 565 bbc and glide, mine is a 499 mopar/glide.

the car 60s pretty consistent, but the 60-330 #s change. when the track is hot and slick it actually runs quicker. i jetted the carb up and rulled out fuel. lowered top bar in the front with no change.

ideas on shock adjustments here, or replacement of shock is possible.


my ideas for this spring, move battery out of nose, to put more weight on rear tires, raise launch chip from 4600, add more rear gear from 4.10 to 4.29 to hit tire harder.

any ideas appreciated.


It almost sounds to me like the converter is too tight. Follow me here. If the tires are slipping out in the middle and the car picks up; it sounds like the converter is too tight for the setup. Basically the engine is getting into the rpm range that it likes when the tires are slippinng out there.






Thats the samething I have seen
