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

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. Mick

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.
