Im looking for 1/4 mile time for any 88 from 67-72 thats stock or mostly stock. Im also looking for curb weight or scale weight of a 68 delta 88 with a bbo and th400. Im trying to estimate about how fast my car will be in the 1/4 mile.

I don't see one being any faster than 14 flat.

MN71W30

With traction I would say 15.4@91mph if it is a 455 4bbl.

that sounds good to me, i know here heavy but how fast do you think my 68 delta custom four barrel high comp 455, th400, 2.73 open rear and about 28.8" tires would be? ive gotten 13.46 and 14.18 et's on those online calculators

Are you calculating brake horsepower or net? Net is todays criteria, and I would think that any online computer based system would use that as well.

oh, how much horse power would i lose with a water pump with fan, power steering pump and alternator.

My '71 Supreme is 260hp gross, 180hp net, so entering the wrong data would severely skewer the test reults.

The Delta 88 Custom Holiday Sedan has a shipping weight of 4115#, so you can add a couple hundred #s for weight in street trim.
If it is a stock 4-bbl, it would be the 365 hp L31.
With the gears you have, I seriously doubt you'd hit mid 15s, probably upper 15s. Still respectable for a land yacht like that!
