Average times were in the 13.20's @ 108 MPH.
The Rev-Limiter was put in for a 'reason', obviously...as the test
was controlled and observed by a 'neurotic and extremely nervous'
Ford Dealer representative.
The Speed Age Magazine car-testers came to the conclussion;
* removal of the Rev-Limiter,
* install 7" 'M & H' slicks on 15" x 6" rims
* thinner front tires 7.35 x 15"
* tweak the Holley 780 CFM carburetor
Estimated Performance; 12.80's @ 112 MPH.

LOL Glad I got that one right. If not I would have had to change my screen name
