I love the SS & DI road test of the Gold ‘69. Running 11.90’s in a close-to-stock street car back then was really honkin’ on! Not much out there was gonna hang with that!

Mark, i have a friend who was an original owner and raced a 69 l78 Nova back then. Same configuration but he did recurve the distributor and jetted the carb. Car ran consistant 11.70's in that trim. There were a few at the time in the area that ran like that.
