Isn't the backspace different for Drum brake cars? As far outboard as it seems, maybe the issue is that all of us with wider wheels have disks?

Nevermind. I see he has a 1966 that should have...

This was on the front straight at Willow Springs somewhere over 100 mph. The speedometer has never worked so I don't really know for sure, but I'd guess105 to 115 based on what others were doing. Did...

I'm pretty sure I have the big block side pipes on my small block car. It's been 30 years since I got them so I'm working from old memory. Pretty sure they were cut off just after the bend and then...
