wait a sec, there were no 302's in 65[:-]


what makes yous a gt? is it an A or K code?

 

could be a swap? -Jon

 

Yeah,

I would stay away from the cam swap untill you've gotta better feel for things and you also have to worry about making sure the rest of the engine is built to work well with the cam. etc. I definately forgot to mention the Petronix switch +1 to that. I dunno if anyone else mentioned it but you can also check to make sure the timing is set well and even though its a bit more involved for newbies tuning the carb a bit can make a world of difference. I've seen guys who are able to just grab two screwdrivers make some adjustments while she idles by just listening and its like a whole new car.

 

better yet, go to some gears that are a little lower (numerically higher). I know what you meant, just busting some chops.

 

It has a rebuilt 302 that the guy I bought it from put in it. What makes it a GT is the 4-speed tranny, the dual exhaust out the rear valance and the fog lights on the grille, which I have yet to put in.

 

so the VIN does specify it as a GT?

nonetheless should be a nice car

 

Yes the VIN specifys that it was a GT. It was originally an A Code car.

 

When you guys say " learn to launch/ suspension workb4 spending the $$ on more power" What are you saying to do with the supension. I know if u practice you can lowere your 60 foot times but what should I do for a better suspension that you guys say should be done first? Ive got big tires and traction bars ? Am i set? -Jon
