Shout out to
@RickFinsta @Snafu12 As my W8 thread hit many roadblocks. It is still in play Thread here But something else happened lol. I drug home a 68 Barracuda Fastback, with a 434ci W9 deal that makes 976hp @ 8400. 14.5:1 deal running on Q16. At 3100lbs, on a 10.5 tire with 4.88s this thing is an animal. I love it. Tube K-frame, coilovers, Dana, spool, Mega awesome Weldon fuel system. And an uncut body. No tubs, no nothing. Just a cage that won't pass tech for the cars time. Car has gone 5.76@121 on footbrake, transbrake hasn't been used yet. Engine compartment, floors and trunk still with "EXCELLENT" factory paint. CA car with factory rustproofing. This thing is going to be a blast at the track, slow it down a bit and run 6.0 index. The fuel bill is going to suck though.  Attached File |

"Ah meh, blah ….
A ‘72 or ‘73 Mustang Mach 1 beats any model year Barracuda all day long." Couldn't resist.  Nice score. Love me a Big Mopar hood scoop. Beside the Roadrunner my first car was a '71 Barracuda Gran Coupe. A fiberglass Six pack lift off hood found it's way onto the car. |

However, sometimes you just gotta drive around with a Dale Cubic-built 1350 Dominator that has the idle air-bleeds completely removed because the power valve is also missing from the metering blocks lol.
 Attached File*for the unknowing folks.....basically, this carb has a few fuel passages that are normally metered. But this one is has wide open passages....the missing air bleed is just a band-aid to mellow out the the amount of fuel that is getting pulled into the engine. Imagine an M60E6 that no one was paying attention to. That's what this is. |
