Re: 64 Plymouths

[Richard Kinsley <leroar.kinsley058@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had a best of 9.15 in the 1/8th which would theoretically be about 14.36 in the 1/4.  My previous best on my 264 cam set-up with stock heads was 9.75.  I only had 6 runs on the new 284 cam set-up and the last 3 were with a broken tailshaft housing. I also had not done any tuning yet as I use the runs to adjust the tune and I need some baseline to start with.  I was basically just getting my baseline numbers when I broke.  I am positive I would be capable of breaking into the high 8's if I pursued it further.  I feel I have accomplished enough of my goals at this time.  The Challenger SRT8 that I had raced turned a 9.12 so I would be right with him now. Time is an issue so I am going to work on my next goal of turning LeRoar into a comfy cruiser and i want to hit the mid 20's in mpg. I feel that there is more to mpg than money savings. I am also interested in distance on a tank. I'm sure the folks in the northeast wish they could go farther/longer on a tank of gas! It makes for a comfort zone in the middle of the night or when out in the boonies on a Sunday.

There were some very fast candy striped Dodge s-wagons running back then.  I think it was some from the Ramchargers.

Carl,I didn't say that the 4 doors or wagons beat the 2 doors..      lol  I just said that they not all mind you were faster usually the 4 doors and wagons were never seen again when the light changed. My 1sy car was a 55 Chebby,never got to run against any Mopars but I sure beat alot of Ferds.2nd car was a Ferd and we won't talk about that one.3rd car was a brand spankin new 69 Super Bee and I've owned Mopars ever since,even had a lil 64 Fury with a stage 3 wedge that kicked some tail.

WHEN I was young,the 4 doors and wagons were usually faster cuz the owners OR drivers {if the cars were owned by a parent} usually lipped off to the 2door owners about how slow their cars were compared to the wagons an 4 doors!    :-)

Dodger,

 

1. You've been hanging around Rich K. to long.

 

2. If this was true Gary H. would have this posted in Technical Ramblings..

 

3. The fact of the matter is that Wagons are the fastest...
