'66 coupe..

weiand 8011 intake
600cfm holley 4bbl
mild cam (no clue on specs..)
8" rear w/ 2.79s
u/d pulleys
c4 with shift kit

everything (most..) else is stock..if i stomp on it, no bogs, no studders..but no spinning either
i can't power brake it either..my dad did it when we first bought the car and i've tried many times since new plugs, wires, etc and i can't do it even with the tune up..wtf kind of trick did he do?
yeah..just wondering why i have a v8 and can't light em up lol

 

c4

2.79's may have something to do with it.

P.S. delete this before a Chevy guy finds this and turns it into an owned pic v.v

 

damn lol that's true i needa watch out[8D][&:]

 

I have a 65 with a 600cfmcarb and a performer manifold and I have a hard time not spinning the tires. Kinda weird

 

I've got a C4 and 2.79's and I've managed it a few times. I think traction plays a large part if you're having so much trouble now, try some balder tires.

 

i just can't understand why my dad can trick my car into burning em but i can't lol
everynow and then when i go WOT it'll pee wee chirp 2nd (doesn't chirp but it'll break for a second) which when that happens im like wtf lol can't spin first but second will break for just a second

 

Chevy guy here,owned, lol . nah, honestly i think the only good things ford has everhad going for them are mustangs and their trucks. I still prefer Chevy trucks but I do like the fords. I took all visible ford emblems off my stang first thing. But lets not make this a which is better thread. For what its worth though, my best friend has a 74 vette and he has trouble gettin it to burn but it'll chirp between gears.

 

Are you actually in first? The shift pattern on automatic cars isn't always that obvious. I don't have one, but I recall something about a circle and a dot, one of which locks out first gear for better traction in wet weather.

 

whats your initial timing set at?
