Excellent work. I still haven't actually seen this car since its been in your custody, despite driving past the house several times a week!

Always welcome to call in for a cuppa, Matt. (The Dart is at work, not home :) )

So we installed a new carb back in February and decided to pop along to the pod this weekend as it was so nice. 8-) What an amazing weather day.

The Holley 850 TrackWarrior was nice and crisp and has made the motor more responsive :thumbright: I'm really enjoying the learning process of basic tuning and the great feeling when you actually make a positive difference. Like managing to get good throttle response and smooth out bogs and stumbles :)

We had an awesome day and met up with (I think) a chap called Bob and his with Pat who had a '64 Chrysler 300K if I remember right.

Now I need to learn how to get the power from the wheels to the track :? . Yes we did have great fun but I just couldnt get hooked up off the line and spun up, squirming all over the show down the track.

I added air, took air out. Even added a passenger :lol: which was actually the best 60' time of the day as it happens.

Anyway, lots to learn and plenty of room for fun and improvement :thumbright: :thumbright:

Good stuff :thumbright:
all this talk of tuning and hooking up is still new to me at the moment though... I'm sure I'll pick it up eventually :lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: quicker than you think, five years ago I had no idea how a carb really worked let alone work on one.

The same goes for stripping and putting an engine back together, never thought I'd do that either :thumbright:

Lots of help from this great forum and its members, that's for sure :)

Had a little play at the weekend with a fellow Dart among the rice burners.

Needless to say, I was put back in my box :lol: These tyres have just gotta go :roll:
