Here is the 86 GT drag car. The quickest I ran was 9.42 with a 428 ci small block Ford. I traded this car less engine and transmission and some cash for my second Cammer.

Here's my 05 Saleen. I've sold the 65 Fastback, 67 Coupe and 71 Mach 1. I also sold the 62 Country Sedan, it was originally bought to put the Cammer in.

My latest is this 67 F100, it's going to be a daily driver for my daughter. We're supposed to get it on the 29th.

What about the weight of the hood before you align it?

I was driving without my hood for a while and it definitely made a difference with the alingment. Put your hood on first.

The hoods not ready. I'm taking it to Moab this weekend without it so we got the alignment close. We'll get it right after the hood is on and everything has had a chance to settle.

Just got back from getting the alignment done, drives like a go kart but the brakes are way too much. I need to figure out how to soften them up with this hydro boost.

Really? Personally my motto is the firmer the better.

not when using hand controls, or if they lockup at a light touch.

They lock up with the slightest touch. If you just touch the pedal the truck will stop, you have to pull it up to release them.

Try adjusting the rod shorter that comes out of the hydroboost and pushed the bore of the M/C. As far as I understand a little goes a long way. I don't remember which pump you used. Maybe get a different Pressure Relief Valve for it so it will kick out less pressure.
