| Post subject: | Mr. Duster Goes Racing |
My first time at the track, and probably Mr. Duster's first time too. Mr Duster is a bone-stock 1974 Duster that I purchased for $325 from a local. Everything on the car was original, and worked when I got it, including the 8-track. The rear 7 1/4 died very soon, and I swapped in an 8 3/4 out of a Challenger. I replaced all the front bushings, ball joints, and tie rod ends with Moog rubber replacements. I swapped in a Super Six setup using all stock parts and a Carter BBD off my 318 pickup. Ran so much better after that. Rebuilt the distributor and recurved it (took out heavy spring) and set timing at 35* BTDC. New plugs, cap, rotor, wires, pickup coil, reluctor, ECU, coil, ballast. Summary of equipment: 1974 Duster 225 /6 Engine: all stock Timing: 35* BTDC with heavy spring removed Intake: Super 6 Exhaust: Stock Trans: Stock 904 Rear axle: 8 3/4, 3:55 gear. Tires: 205/60/R15 Capital V-rated. First ever time slip: R/T: .126 60': 2.801 330: 8.066 1/8: 12.458 MPH: 56.02 1000: 16.275 1/4: 19.536 MPH: 69.13 I made 5 passes. Best ET: 19.440 Best R/T: .010 Best 60': 2.770 Best MPH: 69.32. RPM at the 1/4 was about 3500 after a 2-3 shift at 3900 or so. The tech guys were amazed at the leaning tower of power. <img src = "http://www.autoinsanity.com/Duster/racing/tech.jpg"width=400> On the go. Beat him off the line but slower again. <img src = "http://www.autoinsanity.com/Duster/racing/racing.jpg"width=400> Edit: One thing I forgot to add in the specs is I'm running an electric fan setup instead of a mechanical fan. http://ramchargercentral.com/boards/ind ... show;id=19 |
