Putting a 66 coronet together, curious about your header choice. Wondering about fitment/interference in the engine bay and starter clearance? Thanks.

Well this isn’t going to help get this car back together! I was moving a shelf over to get something behind it and a stupid 3lb dumbbell rolled off the shelf from about 5’ high and landed on my barefoot on a concrete floor. Broken pretty good and can’t put any weight on it for two weeks. Then boot for another month.

Well that’s some shitty luck right there. Got to make the best of it.

Thats hurts just to think about it.

Makes me cringe thinking about it.

Dyno And tuning day at Extreme Racing Engines.

 

[2quick]

Made 2 tunes and about 15 pulls, plus tuned cruise and cold start. All in all great day. This is on a MainLine Hub Dyno! The higher numbers are on Powermist UL104+
Lower numbers on 93 pump.

Last two pulls to follow.

Through the mufflers, 3" exhaust, with air cleaner installed and hood closed, w/gear vendors. Not sure what this translates to for engine HP but he feels it's a 15%ish loss from his experience. If that were true looking at 866Hp 727TQ.

 

[2quick]

See if this is better.

Very nice. I recall that’s about where a guy figured the HP would be.
I sure got a surprise on air filter restriction. Went from a 10.14 to a 9.90 pass with the removal of the air filter.

Honestly I made better power by 10hp with the air cleaner on. But i didnt try it with just the base…

I’ve experienced no change with or without the air cleaner in the past. Just threw it out there as it came to mind when reading your post. Nice to see it’s working good now.

Drove it for the first time this weekend. Some hicups with logging and learn enable but figured it out. Runs great. Smooth as can be for what it is. Vibration that shook the thing apart is gone. Fires right up without touching the pedal, Idles in and out of gear around 1130rpm. IAC maintaining as it should. I can literally reach my hand though the window hit the key and it fires and idles even when dead cold (75deg at this point in the year) Working on cruise tuning which is 1900-2300 around town 45-50 mph with the OD engaged. haven't really stood on it except on the Dyno. I just want to enjoy it for some time before I break it again.

Finally after 2 years a win..
