The sound would make your bones rattle!!!
Not growing up in that era I have a couple questions,
Why does the front end sit so high? Was there an advantage to this? Assuming it’s a drag car not an oval car
What makes it sound like that? Cam? Timing?

really happy to see the car back together Pat! Great sounding engine, is it 13:1 compression?

Keep Phil out of it

Sounds like the Grandkids near the end.

Yes.it's a drag car.The nose high stance was done for better weight transfer/traction.The sound is from headers,cam and compression.Yes the throttle response or lack there of sounds like the timing curve needs some attention.

Second burn out looked like there was quite a bit a wheel hop.......Actually I think that the marks from the first burn out showed the same..... right tail lights out .......I’m just say’n......Beautiful car I’m jealous as hell......How lucky are those boys , grandsons.......My grandpa owns a Z-11 .....and he’s doing burnouts in his driveway.............”A Z-11”

Thank you everyone!!!

All the above is true:
Timing is a little off and carbs.
Lots of wheel hop.
Grandkids show, not mine.
Keeping Phil away.()

Thanks on the right tail light, was surprised the backup lights worked

See, now Pat knows how to burn a tire! That’s what I’m talking about. Congratulations Pat on the grandkids and the car. Break them in as well as the car!

Funny, my oldest grandson asked why there was no smoke from the burnout. Had to explain the driveway was finished extra smooth . He was not impressed!!

 

[Tooth]

Pat you should take the boys to the Drag strip and watch some drag cars. That would be awesome fun and easy to explain there. Precious time with the grandkids smelling burnt rubber what else could you ask for?

 

[Blk61409]

Actually have taken them a couple of times.

What a sight to see them standing near a Funny Car when it started

I discovered the oldest(13 at the time) trying to start the A/FD dragster I have!!

It seems the harder I work, the more good luck I have.

What headers are on that car Pat?

 

[Phil Reed]

925/926 Skip.

 

[63impalass409]

Looks like headers to me

 

[Don Jacks]

I think that it's got a set of Wilson's on it,could be wrong.

 

[63impalass409]

My Wilson's have a cut out that's blocked off so you can run open if you want without unbolting exhaust that I didn't see on Pat's car but I could be wrong.
