    In an attempt to get better gas mileage, I swapped the 750 carb and high volume pump for a 600 carb and stock fuel pump.

    Truck still runs decent even with the smaller cam and carb.

    It ran a best of 8.74@72 mph in the 1/8 mile at the Dixie Dragfest. I couldn't leave at anything above idle or else it would blow the tires away. I made 8-10 attempts at a decent launch and then quit trying.

    I'd be curious to see what it would run on slicks mounted on 15 wheels.

    There are two things in life where penetration is really important.....and one of them is welding.
