Thanks! Rear leafs were clamped forward of the axle, and front sway bar was removed. Only lays down 1.72-1.75 60 ft. times due to the mild 2400 stall converter. With a 3000 stall, probably would have 60 ft. in the 1.60-1.65 range, and run 11.50's.

Thanks gtobobcat. Cam is a Comp Cams 305H, .525/.525 lift, with 1.5 rockers.

LOL Now thats what I call a true sleeper. I feel sorry for all the fools that tried to race that fine 69! I guess you need a roll cage in the car if you want to run on the track? (I hope you leave it just like she is)

A+ that is by far the sweetest 69 Firebird I have ever seen.
