Re: Finally got my 406 back!
Nice! I have a stepside with a 400 I'd like to use as a Street/Strip truck, I haven't been to the strip in a good long time!

What's the 3 leaf pack? a stock pack you pulled leaves out of? what's your full suspension?

Re: Finally got my 406 back!
Sub 100° day calls for a cruise, got it dialed finally. Apparently 34° at idle with 24° of advance caused detonation...

Feels good to have my junker right again.

Well it was off a bit, but it stayed together for a Hundred mile trip and 3 passes. And made some ricer feel bad on the way home.

Re: Finally got my 406 back!
Can you explain what some of these numbers mean? It's been many years since I was running the dragstrip on a regular basis. Also, here in this neck of the woods, all the tracks are 1/8th mile and so, our numbers don't always equate.

So, I'm guessing that you ran a 12.40 et at 108 mph? Is this correct?

Is the .332 your reaction time?

Re: Finally got my 406 back!
Most of my gains have been in the 60 foot.
Every tenth in the 60' is about 2 tenths in the traps.
I started at 13.5 and chopped 1.5 seconds off all from 60' gains. The mph didn't vary much at all

Re: Finally got my 406 back!
Good times for sure! Kind of off topic but do you have any more pics of your dash? It looks killer I haven't seen that swap before, I'm guessing a 67-72 dash?
Thanks carter
