Those were great times in the late 80's and early 90's. What was the best E/T the RR ran at Atco? Here are some pics from back in the day that Bill posted on FB

The Supercar showdown we went to had a best of 15.18 @ 92. With tweaking, tuning and taking off the "lightshow" old stock date coded spark plug wires for some new ones netted a best ever 14.22@ 97.8.
I,ll have updates weekly or sooner as work continues.

Just a quick update.
Right before I left for a little vaca, a plethora of boxes graced my font doorway. Marked with names like Year One, Jegs, Summit, and Felpro. When I get back ill be able to do some assembly.

Am I the only one that noticed this? :?

Unless my eyes fail me, I believe it says "HEMI" on the hood. Yet I see an RB series engine on the stand. (383 I assume?) There must be more to the story... :stir

Back in the middle 80s I spent a lot of time pulling cool things out of junk yards(including my 383 RoadRunner. Plus it made this picture so much cooler!

Sticking with points? Or is it apart for an electronic ignition conversion?

Nothing screams high performence more than a single point distributor!




It's just there to keep the dirt out while working:)
