Re: Aubrey's 62 409 goes 11.067 in C/S
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? |

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 ?

Re: Aubrey's 62 409 goes 11.067 in C/S
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! |

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.

Re: Aubrey's 62 409 goes 11.067 in C/S
I have to wonder. If it is legal and acceptable to put a 12 bolt in place of a 10 bolt, even when the 12 bolt was never an option, would it not be legal to put a 12 bolt in an older big car?
