Clay, CJ and Scott I hate to prolong this but-- with bumpers rather than quick jacks add couple of inches to 158.

:D

Damn Ralph, now you've done it:D!!!

But, if you mount just overriders on the quick-jack posts (so you can quickly switch 'em back and forth), it's still just 13 FEET[8D].

Mine measures 90" on one side but only 85" on the other. Is this why it pulls to the right so bad? It also seems to show terrible tire wear for only having 600 miles on it? Should I correct this or just drive it?

Steve I wish it was. Right now the motor just boggs and it won't turn a tire.

I hope to have it running better by Shades of the Past.

OK...Brent, what are you not telling us? Did you prepare your car for some soon-to-be announced British version of NASCAR (BS-CAR) oval track series?:D Would that be the Lucas Cup Series?

Clay my motor is probably one of the lowest HP rated motors on this site. If it won't run......Chrome it!!

It sure looked strong in Gadsden in May. What happened? I thought you were just setting it up for right turns only, which could only be an oval track series where they drive the wrong way.......;)

I don't lie. What do you think a 2bbl 360 truck motor with a 390 crank was rated at??????
