All the recent articles about the MII quote that high 17 second quarter mile time. What is the source for that? It must have been with a 302 AT with single leg 2.79 rear!

I can't help but think that a 302 4-speed with 3.55 Trak Loc rear would not have had a time closer to 15 seconds.

I don't think you could buy a II in that OE configuration.

3.55s weren't even offered in 77 and 78, near as I can tell, and the 4 speed wasn't available with 302 in '75, so it had to be '76, if ever.

The one article I recall was on a 78KC in Cali, so it was pretty strangled.

Dang it, now I'll have to go pull my old magazines for road tests
