New to BCM

[pjturkey]

Hey All, my name's Pete and I'm from Milwaukee, (obviously new to BCM). I currently have a '69 Olds (ran it saturday at Great Lakes) and a '23 T-bucket hot rod. Some pics of the Olds below.

Welcome to the site...great looking olds too. Curious, what does an AL headed single plane 455 powered convertible runs these days?

[pjturkey]

Thanks! My best was 11.98 @ 112 (then I got kicked out for no roll bar) but it needs to get played with quite a bit still, susp./carb/timing.

Welcome!!

11.98 is moving for the otherwise stock looking car! Impressive!

Any pics of the rod?

Welcome

They kicked you out for no cage at 11.98, 11.499 is whan a roll bar needs to be installed

Could it be because its a vert? are the numbers for getting kickd out diffrent?

[Dr.Buick]

yeh did not think about that you are correct.

Thanks! Tires probably have alot to do with it. I put drag radials on it for the track and the car seems to hook pretty well. what are your 60 ft's like?

Conv. need at least a roll bar at 13.49

welcome, awesome car! Glad to see you kept the BBO in there instead of the usual chevy swap!

Thank you, it's all Olds....(well, except the rearend which is a 9") but that's cuz I didnt feel like hunting down parts for the O-Type rearend that was in it. Ideally, someday maybe It'll get a 64-72 Olds rear!

Here's the T, I changed the tires, it has skinny wide whites now. 383 Mopar motor, 4-speed & an 8 3/4 rear. It's a blast :D:D

I demand(!) a ride in the t-bucket for two reasons:

1. Never riden one
2. It's mopar powered

cool cars though! kidding about the demand...picture me groveling and begging instead, lol

i think it was 1.8 or 2.0 i would spin like crazy off the line if i really layed in it..

[lordairgtar]

I like the T. Never seen that one around. Never saw a radiator shell like that either. Good call on the Mopar, too many Chevys in most of them.

I'm running 1.7ish 60fts...according to the engine builder, ideally I want to get them down to 1.5s...I'm no expert on it (there's others here far more educated than me) but I would think that if you're running 1.8s still spinning the tires, that's pretty good. Hook with some sticky tires, and you should be doing really well.
