Hard to put times on a stick car as it’s so driver dependent. 71 b body with a 3.55 gear and a close ratio trans isn’t going to be a barn burner. Low 14’s maybe a high 13 with a good driver.
I’d have to look at my build sheet but I believe I had an 84p 92s with a 1.59 Venturi annular booster carb. .028 hsb. Pvcr was in the .070 range. Keep in mind most of these carbs have a fat cruise due to the transfer slot and not the main jets. Usually takes transfer slot restrictors to really...
