1968 Dodge Charger

[Paul Ceasrine]

Our 'third' timed accelerated adventure was highly anticpated with the additional improvements.

After removing the air cleaner top, we made our timing adjustments and set the timing at 34* @ 1500 RPM.

We even loosened the power steering pump belt, which foolishly was not done before. Now with the Charger R/T
equipped with 4.10 Gears, we expected some fun.

Coming off the starting line at an 1100 RPM Ide, and with the car left in 'Drive' for complete automatic shifting
and with F70 x 14" Goodyears, we experienced a launch like very few other big-blocks.

The result a 13.81 @ 103.9 MPH.

A few more passes were taken, and we put down a best of 13.72 @ 104.6 MPH which was better than we expected.
The 4.10 Gears helped eliminate off-the-line wheel spin, and helped kick the 440 into it's power range much sooner.
The gears knocked off (-.57) off our previous Elapsed Time, giving us an idea of further lowering the Charger R/T's
performance as we headed back to Rockville Centre Dodge with good news.
