Redid the rear lines with full flow fittings, might have to try a 90 degree on the right to get rid of sharp turn in that line.

Finally got started on winter upgrades. Had the rear backing plates sandblasted and removed a little excess weight. Diff is out to replace the 4.10 gears with 3.91’s in the quest for more MPH. I’m planning to turn the wick up a bit more for next season but more of that in the new year!

In my continuing effort to get my car MSA legal for super stock I fitted a battery cut off switch with an external shutoff. Barracuda’s have a gap under the boot lid above the bumper so an ideal place to run the rod through. Just need to run a new alternator lead through to the switch so it cuts the engine as well.

PST aluminium driveshaft with Mark Williams billet yoke. Hopefully 5lb of rotating weight saved should get me some improvement no matter how small…
