Nice job! Looking forward to getting my 70 back to the track (1/4) when it opens in a few weeks. I need to see what the new gears did to my times :)

I was running a 2.87 but have switched to a 3.31. Mine is a 360/auto with AC,PS,PB etc. Was running similar numbers to yours with the 2.87.

Don't know for sure what gear I have but doing to old turn the drive shaft trick and counting it and at some point the guy before me had changed out the gear long ago I think it's a 373 posi I will soon pop the cover and found out for sure but the rest of the car is original other than having the group 19 cam lifters and other added 17 years ago when it was rebuilt that's a good thing any way the next I go to the track I think my buddy will drive it and will have a better reaction time that will help not a racer just want to know what the lil girl can do it's a nice driver and fun to play with that's really all I want out of it to drive it and take to local cruise ins and just have fun with it

reaction time makes no difference in the numbers your car ran. The time starts when the car breaks the beam of light.
