Here's the in car video of my back up run Monday morning after fixing the ignition issues. Running to mile four speed 214.671. To give you an idea of what's about to happen here's the speeds at the mile markers during the run. When you see the orange light come on I'm in fifth gear.
Mile two 182.730
At the two and a quarter marker 199.781
At mile three 205.114
At mile four 214.671
Slowing down mile five 156.138
Density altitude on this run was 6664 feet.

Sit back and enjoy the ride I know I did.

Oh yea turn up the volume and listen to this stock block flathead sing a song of speed as the car leaves the line under its own power no push needed. Ronnieroadster
