I finally took the coronet to the test and tune night at edgewater this friday night. 65 dodge coronet 440 with a 440 engine and 3.23"open rear i didn't do too bad, but no track records either. I only broke one thing(alternator bolt) and made it home on my own power.
First run: 16.00 @ 85.16 mph (1.157 RT) nervous and heart pumping 1,000,000 mph 2nd run: 15.21 @ 92.79 mph (.743 RT) getting a little more comfortable 3rd run: 14.043 @ 103.1 mph (red light) took a break talked with friends 4th run: 15.809 @ 93.20mph (.674RT) slight squeel from engine compartment 5th run: 15.712 @ 92.19mph (.654 RT) louder squeel from engine compartment
Squeel turned out to be broken alternator bolt. I noticed before a 6th run that it was sticking out about .5" from the bracket. It all held together but i had to tape the bolt in to keep it from walking out into the fan on the ride home. i ran in drive only letting the convertor (lowstall stock 383 2barrel unit) do all the shifting. on the last 2 runs i had almost no traction on the open gears and spun tires for at least 50 feet or more and had to let up on the gas to get traction. I defiantly need a posi setup and sounds like a new convertor....
