Slow.. All of a sudden, major dropoff
60 foot times from 1.67 to 1.76
1/8 mile ET from 7.80's to 8.15's
1/8 mph from 88 to 84
1/4 mile ET from 12.20's to 12.80's
1/4 mph from 109 to 103
No knocking, just steady and slow.
At first I thought it was the converter but after going six rounds two weeks ago consistently, and driving home, the car sat all week. I started it up, drove back to the track, and it was six tenths off.
Weather was better. Most people running 2 tenths better than the prior week.
I am sending out a an old converter to be rebuilt but I really do not believe the converter went just like that.
My guess is pushrods or valve springs. Wednesday the covers come off.
Any guesses?
