Thats a heck of a combo. Im going to use either the 7 inch olds rods 
or the 6.735 inch olds rods in mine. 
You say mid 12's in the Coup Deville? Thats probably a 4500-5000lb 
car, so they say drop a second of your et for every 1000lbs of 
weight. That would make a Gremlin(providing good traction) run 
somewhere in the mid to upper 10's! On pump gas! John, you ever need 
Caddy info, go to www.500cid.com Click on the largest Cad forum and 
then go to the message board. Its filled with tons of info. Rod
