Ya know Dan, it's a funny thing that you put it that way. In a Stocker that can use a Powerglide or a 3-speed, with the 'glide the 60' times are almost irrelevant. They're almost a residual number. The car needs to be set-up to run it's best E.T. and whatever the 60' time is, it is. One of the "funniest" things ever said to me about "tuning" a car was by the late Jim Beattie; "Nees, is there somebody standing on the 60' clock handing out $100 bills? Then don't worry about it".
Now a 3-speed Stocker is a totally different animal. From my experience, what ever you can do to get a 3-speed car to the 330' clock faster will translate to better E.T.s all the way down the track.
