Looking for Midwestern drag car picture
Mach1joe had a good idea with his similar thread. :-)
In '66-'68 I spent a couple years helping a friend build a B/Gas Austin sedan. He was Wayne Danner from Danville Illinois. The car was a '49-'51 Austin sedan called "Mother's Pearl". It was painted and driven by Arlyn Fulk, and was quite striking in white pearl with dramatic graphics. Power was an injected Hemi with a clutchflite.
I moved west a few years later, and lost touch with them. Unfortunately, today I take pictures of everything...but not then. :-(

Did you ever call Arlyn? I'd bet he might have something in his port folio.What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?

Sounds like you know him. I lost touch a while back, but I just found a current number and left a message.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
