Here's the Waller 1/8 mile calculation, remember we only ran it just past the 1/8th.
If you ran those numbers in a 1/4 mile run You’d have to be real happy. I would be.

I wired the stock horn button to work the line lock on our ‘68 Nova back in 1969.

That car had a built in rev limiter. It would just go flat at 6000 or less with what we had to work with back then...Some cams pulled up a little higher at 6200.....Hydraulic lifters, stock springs, stock rockers. 12.20’s at 114+ was best numbers back in 1970 on 7” tires ! 10-1 compression 350...


The clutch was low tech. Schiefer RevLoc diaphragm clutch, 10-1/2” GM disc 11” 30lb wheel.
