The 3:90 is long gone. When I bought the car it had a 2:73 10 bolt. I acquired a 12 bolt posi traction 3:73 out of a 69 Z28 and bolted that in. I think I want less gear than that, maybe 3:31. The engine makes plenty of power, I dont really need all that gear. I had a 67 GTO that I swapped out a 12 Bolt out of a 70 SS Chevelle and that seemed like a good gear for that car.

Hi John. didn't get to meet you. I wish everyone had name tags! I did meet Gary, beautiful cars he has. I also met Mark Cronk with his 69 Firebird. Great show, lots of nice cars.

Then again, the amount of beers I owe people, I should just rent a centralized location and a couple Kegs for an all-out Pontiac gathering. (Might have to invite some Olds and Buick guys also) Brian

Here's a youtube link to a video of my RAII powered 68 Bird, someone sent the video to me, wish the aspect ratio was better....if you view in full screen mode it looks ok.
Set a new best ever ET for the F.A.S.T 68 RAII Bird this past weekend in Maryland. If you slow or pause the video down you can see the front left tire lifting off the ground twice. 10.18 at 133.55 MPH on G70X14 Polyglas Tires, getting closer to the 9's ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qa27OVizag Rick |

Awesome pass, Rick!
![]() That's what I call a 'small tire' car, none of these 9 inch slicks that are 12" wide like some of the other guys run. Congrats and hoping for the 9 second pass.

Being ported, that's a good question.
