Hey Brian I sent some info to your email. Let me know you got it and makes sense to you.

Yes,just give me a little time. I have to move the car so I can get a jack under it. My garage is the typical 20 lbs of stuff in a 10 lb bag.

Your Welcome Brian!  ‘69 formal roof Cobras, my second most favorite car.

Brian, I can measure this weekend if you still need measurements

I can vouch for the Deka batteries! I would only get 1 1/2 years out of battery in my A/S Fairlane. The hard launches I think would get to it. Parts store would treat me right so I kept getting the same Delco battery. Last time  they switched to Deka so I put that in 9 1/2 years ago!!! it finally went south the end of this year.

Doug,
My experience is it depends on the mfg and the compound that is used. Hoosier with bias ply claims you don’t really need a long Smokey burnout. The tires are getting hot and as long as they are dry. I use third gear with a stick car but that is due to gearing I have. If it hooks and you get the 60’ times your happy with, don’t worry about the amount of tire smoke. Dragsters  barely haze the tires on their burnout as they don’t have front brakes and they hook just fine.
I’ve used Goodyear and Hoosier. I like the Hoosier’s a little better so far. Can’t remember the compound # I have but aren’t stiff sidewalls

For the few times you are on a track you have a good set up. The 60 ft has a lot to do with track, rpm, tire pressure and clutch but you know that. I’ve had 4 different motors in my car and until last year the 60 ft times were all the same. They would change a little due to track conditions but until I figured out clutch pressures - still learning- ...
I went from 12’s, 11’s to 10’s and the sixty foot never really changed as I didn’t do much  to make it better. From the video 1st gear spins and second hits like a freight train hit you from behind. Your car is strong!
Enjoy it as it is, it will be fun!
