With the new trans and paint job intact we headed out for the track. We hit our goal time with a 6.97 run down the track. Everything went smoothly and after few adjustments the car is right. We have had to do NO adjustments at all this week. Now the goal is getting it to run consistently.
We have had to replace the transmission in the car. After taking it apart it was no wonder the problems we were having with it jumping out of gear. The new trans will go in tonight. We have also started to paint the car to make it all 1 color. I will post the pics later.
The car is a 1977 Plymouth Arrow
Chevy 406 Engine
Chevy Turbo 350 Tranmission
Chrysler 8 3/4 rear with 4.86 gears
Weld Wheels
