Back in action ! NHRA

OMG, this post has done soo much good for my personal wellbeing. I thought I was the only dinosaur left, THAT even knew what a second design L-88 cam was. Remember grinding every other tooth off the sliders on the super T10 to speedshift, also remember changing 3 in the pits, in one day, just to make it to eliminations! Good days.

Dont remember on the fluid, probably straight 40valvline racing oil, no back seat or spare on that car. Seems like the Lenco ran atf, but my memory isnt what it was.

At the time the picture was taken, of the camaro, it had a Nash in it, cured all tranny trouble.
 
Excellent trans. for your Camaro or any stick car. Around that time after a few M21s (69/70s) tried a clutch turbo that didn't work out to well and then went to 400 turbo's. with better results all around. That said, I still love my 4sp's. still drive my 1975 H.O. 455. Trans Am, It's a dog. The HO only ment it's a 4sp 455. but I love driving it. It has a t10. Some early 75s. did have muncies, later ones had t10s.
 

I knew Jeff's daughter Kelly was getting into the nitro cars soon , but I was not aware of how fast she was doing it . She's climbing up the ladder pretty quickly . They live directly across the street . A racing family for years , Jeff sells oil at all the races and runs a few SC dragsters , Cathy runs a powdercoat business in which they own , and now it seems Kelly will be running Top Alcohol very soon . :grin: And it takes me 4 days to change my F-250 rotors . :rolleyes:

FWIW , Jeff was my neighbor selling out his shop . I told him once he decided on what , where , when , and how much , I would list the stuff on the Craigslist , Marketplace thread .
 
10s street car, I picked this one up in 1978 for $2k. The Z06 vettes are a long way behind me at the end of the 1320

You were fortunate to find this beauty when it was fairly new. Real nice car, and fast.
