    1/4 mile 302 J Code Results

    If you have a J code I’m sure you have wondered about its stock performance. Here are my results. The variables that may effect your results are: this is a 68 convertible (so its heavier than a coupe) and my fat butt - 240 lbs - skew the results you can get with a GT/CS; 4spd and rear are...

    Distributor

    A rough idle can be caused from a bad vacuum retard if you have a thermactor type distributor with dual advance. The diaphragm fails and in the case of a refurbished item the retard diaphragm is never reinstalled. Before you spend a wad of $$$$ on your carb, points, or giving up and going to a...

    What Is The Correct Wheel? Covers - Styled Steel?

    For a non-GT GT/CS (?) what is the correct wheel? I don't think those mag stars are correct. The Marti Report does not specify any wheel option such as Delux Wheel Covers or Styled Steel Wheels so is the standard wheel cover correct?
