    Today on The Skid Factory, Al finishes off the exhaust and sets up the column shift to work with our ‪@HughesPerformance‬ TH700 Gearbox. We then set up the ‪@haltech‬ Elite 950 and set the ignition timing before firing the Iron Lion Into Life!!

    I will never forget, back in the day I was given a 1976 Buick Skylark base model sedan with an Olds 260 4.3L V8 with a TH200 Hydramatic and a Rochester 2 bbl, and that car was an absolute turd. It had 34k original miles. I would put oil on the passenger side rear tire and do brake stands with it...lmfao Those same old ladies gave my uncle a 1970 Dodge Dart Custom with a 225 slant six, a 3 speed auto, and it had 16k original miles on it...and a black vinyl top. I pulled that Olds 260 and put a SBC 400 with a Weiand dual tunnel ram intake two Holley Dominator 800s on it with velocity stacks and a Muncie M-22 Rock Crusher. I also replaced the highway gears with a 3.83 rear end. That car was really fast, even though it weighed close to 5000 lbs. I wish I had chosen the Dart...I'm a Dodge guy at heart.

      NebukedNezzer I was gonna say, the manual on my 72 vista cruiser calls the S super as well. Something about about holding till a higher RPM before shifting gears.

      That's a great idea especially on an old wagon cos exhaust fumes have never hurt anyone

    Approximately 9:00 .... Who else knows how far one or two inches are? I do, and so does Al!!! .... Unless you live i the US or another imperial country......
    Inches and Feet still hold value, it's a measurement that is easy to imagine... Although I still measure everything in milliimetres ? ... Mad World
