Aubrey's 62 409 goes 11.067 in C/S

What would be involved in getting the new Edelbrock 3814690 replica head approved for that combination?

Aubrey N Bruneau · 05-26-2009, 11:50 AM

Not sure that I know where to start here, guys...

oh yes I do !

The people !!!
It really WAS all the people that came by !
The support I received from so many. As I had mentioned on the 348-409 forum... I learned more in each hour there, from fellow Stock / Super Stock guys ( a privilage to say that, by the way ), than I learned in 4 years of high school !
It was simply overwhelming.

and yes, I broke a crown and pinion on the line, in the first round of eliminations
ISN'T THAT GREAT ? ! ! ! !
HAAAA HAAAA HEEEE !!!!
it broke because after all this time, the engine makes power, and the car works.
doesn't get better than that

I was stunned by the trap speed actually. At first, I spent a half hour, tracking down the timing people, to verify that there was no error.
122.74

Now, a little more first gear in the Jerico ( has 2.83 now ), soften the current clutch setting JUST A TOUCH, and get used to the car. Hopefully 10.80's.

in the mean time, got some catching up to do !

THANK YOU to all the people who helped ( probably didn't even realize how much you did )... Rory, Danny, and of course Bob, for stopping by. I personally didn't get much opportunity to mingle, because people kept coming by !
DAMN it was fun !!!!!

hey... and guess what ?
there will be a real video of the old car... on an actual race track
knew that would make you happy !

Way cool Aubrey! By the tenor of your post, it sounds like it was all worth while and that you really enjoyed yourself. Pretty darn good debut, I'd say. Sorry about the parts breakage though. Ain't much sweeter ( or finer) than an '09. My second car was a black '61 Bel Air 348/305 stick bubbletop.

Crown and pinion? Oh, I get it. Put the ring gear on your head, and it looks like a crown.
Canada-speak, eh?

Aubrey N Bruneau · 05-26-2009, 01:16 PM

Well Ken, maybe only half a crown in there now.
Crown ? Ring ?
it all costs like jewlery anyhow

I think that may be "speak" from my flathead Ford books ?
I dunno ?

Congrat's on taking a revered muscle car from the '60's and making it competitive and fun.

In the day I had a black '64 Biscayne 425 horse car. Raced it at the track (Atco) a few times but raced it "elsewhere" a lot more!!!

My current race car is a '64 Plymouth Savoy 426/415 hp.

Hope you can get her in the 10's soon.

Good luck!

Thanks again, guys

Cool ride Aubrey, good to see it coming around. Ever think about underdriving high gear in the Jerico? - you could put in a taller (read stronger) ring & pinion and get the same total ratio.
