The car is de tuned a bit also. I have the timing set back and heavier advance springs in the distributor because of pinging issues I had on pump gas. I left it it, but should have bumped it up for the track.

I was just there having fun. I left it in drive and the slush glide shifted at about 62 MPH into 2nd gear and it was hilarious when it shifted, so slow. I laughed every time... It's a heavier car of course also... But it was fun...

a 'glide and 3.08s in a full size Impala isn't the best combo for good ETs. I'd bet you could knock a full second off easy if you wanted to play more.

Wonder what the base I-6 w/ PG would run in a full size '67?

Yeah I know, but the car is all original with low miles. I don't want to get into changing things.. It's not a race car just a great driving fun car...
