So you should have known before now what cause's those.Quote:

LOL...10 years of dyno graphs pretty well tell a stock compression PI motor will make 245/280 with long tubes and no tune or underdrive pullies....i'd be more worried how he got that car to run without a stock instrument cluster in the car...you know, the one that requires computer tuning to remove it from the car... :roll:Quote:

It's spot on with what dyno results have shown since 1999 with no tune....even has all the check engine lights to prove it! I bet you don't have a check engine light do you?! Sadly, he won't be there kicking your butt with an inferior (read legal) car.....but hey, it's all just for fun right?! :roll:
Hey MF... and W... can't forget the W.. might get the wrong message... ROFLMAO!!!Quote:

Was down at the shop last night and all day today to get the AI car dusted off and put back together for MSR-C. Michael helped out the entire time... Thanks!!
1. Wash off engine since it's been sitting in the corner for 9 months (check)
2. Install engine and trans (check)
3. Repaint and install pedal box and brake booster (check)
4. Change up bump stack to keep last years failure from happening again... (check)
5. Started to install new "painful" Painless harness (half check)
6. Install oil cooler and radiator (check)
Still to go in the next few weeks:
1. Accusump plumbing
2. Fire bottle plumbing
3. New switch panel
4. Rewire ABS
5. Re-toe car
6. Install battery
7. Cross fingers it will start after being brain dead for almost a year...
Really that bad? I used their harness to COMPLETELY rewire my 69 Camaro, much cheaper than American Autowire.Quote:

Ok, I lied - the original dome light harness is still in the car.
As it turns out, I may have run the last race (Race 3 for me) on 6 cylinders. Here's what I found today...
broken valve spring on number 4 intake valve. Notice how high the valve stem is. Probably broke the head off the valve.
What did the plug look like?? Maybe the rest of the valve is stuck closed... Hopefully.... I have a pair of matched 305 heads out of a 85 Blazer... or a set of raw heads... I'll check what I have tomorrow evening...
puting Mitch's old tool boxes to good use....
Today? Nothing.
Yesterday, dislocated my left shoulder (again) playing football with my soon and the church youth group.
Don't worry... I still plan to make TWS.
Cresson??Quote:

I saw the last planned night launch.

Cresson was already out... taking the kids to D.C. over spring break to see the monuments - covered in snow apparently. Besides, Wirtz needs me to have a LOT of 0s so I can't drop em all.Quote:

I was looking for it this morning. Hurt my big toe last night in soccer. At 2:30 am I decided to look through the tool box to find a drill bit to put a hole in the bottom of my toe nail. Smallest bit wouldn't work, neither would sheet metal screws, or a razor blade. Finally found a 1/2 inch hole saw for wood with the point on the end. Slowly made a hole in the nail and then a thumb tack broke through to realize the blood.
I didn't want to bother Frank for suggestions since it wasn't a "one in a million shot doc"
Can't wait till Cresson.
Damn, Bryan.
I bet your little finger got caught and you gnawed it off.
:shock:Quote:

Heat a paperclip up to red hot and push it through the nail. Takes about 2 seconds to melt through. Use visegrips to hold the paperclip and a gas stovetop for heat.

Heat up a paperclip with a lighter and then use it to melt through the nail into the hematoma, painless and works every time. FMR
I've done that before. We are moving this weekend so everything is boxed up and I couldn't find the lighter. I just used my fingers to turn the drill bit. At my transmission shop I did have the builder use an air drill and a small bit to put a hole in a fingernail. That one was great as it really squirted blood out.Quote:
