Tonight I decided to sit in the car instead of laying under it. I haven't driven it much since the Beaver Springs carnage. I got new perches put on the rear, reinstalled the pumpkin, axles etc. Got a new driveshaft and ujoints, Mark WIlliams yoke. New clutch, pressure plate, pilot bearing, throwout bearing reinstalled my rebuilt Robbmc starter etc. Rollerized the Z bar and clutch pivot. I also put telflon bushed rod ends on the rest of the clutch rods. While I was at it I put new lenses on the dash and led bulbs to match my cobalt gauges.

 So I had a tough day so I wanted to go to the local car thing a few towns away. I got in the car started it pulled out of the driveway it ran fine. By the time I got to the main road it was hesitating every time I shifted, By the time I got it in fourth gear it back fired a few times. I put it in 5th and it felt like it was only running on 4 cylinders. I stopped at the next light to make a u turn and it idled fine but misses and sputters all the time while under light load. I got home and looked at the dist cap and it was a little dirty but the center carbon thingy was missing. So I put an old cap and rotor on and it had no effect what so ever. Im going let it cool off and try it later. I think the coil might be going south. Of course I don't have one to swap out. ANY SUGGESTIONS would be a great help. I goes right to 6500 and burns the tires but sounds like its still sputtering. Update I let it cool off for 3 hrs runs exactly the same.

Here is the only vid I got right now Friday night right off the trailer. My wife used her IPhone ran a 12,26@112mph. I forgot to turn on the gopro for the first pass today and ran a 12.10 I think 115ish.the second run I turned it on and got some carnage on it,  I have to dig it out of the car. It looks like I broke the perches off the rear and the yoke is pointing strait up. Broke the front universal and beat the snot out of my aluminum driveshaft. Hope fully that's it and didnt hurt the tranny or anything else.

The motor doesn't go flat at 5800 the power curve just starts to roll off there. 60 foot was terrible I don't think the posi is to healthy. I don't want to get sidetracked on the 1/4 mile times, I'm trying to decide what posi unit I should get. I hear lockers are clunky on the street from some people and others say they are fine.
Here is a video of the 12.38 pass.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rQV4EZhVtc

I'm looking to upgrade the rear on my 69 mach 1. Right now I have 3.89 28 spline equilock or clutch type posi. I rebuilt it long ago 1980 ish and added a few extra shims. I went to the Fe Reunion and was doing the one wheel peel in the burnout box. I have a TKO 600 with .82 overdrive and a 1350 yoke. Car ran 12.38 and 12.46 103mph ans 113 mph. I had a 6200 chip and hit it twice on the 12.46 run.I will upgrade to 31 spline Axel's, carrier and nodular case. Should I stay with 3.89 or bump up to 4.11? I have a 275/60/15" MT ET street drag radials. Car is a weekend driver roughly 500 hp.
