Ddddaaaaaammmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnn....
Took the car out for the first time in a year.....what a rush... I just went around the block as I still have tuning to do, etc... I dropped the motor on Thursday, repaired the oil leaks, galley plugs and oil pump cover, stuck it back in yesterday and finished up the drive train today.... It is amazing how many sparks you can get without a ground hooked up....I had the drive shafts wired up out of the way, hooked up the battery and turned the key...nothing but sparks!!! I guess the wire was the ground path, it sure sent the plastic bags I had wrapped around the cv joints go up in flames!! So I got the rest hooked up and cleaned up...fired it up and went for a ride.... wow, I forgot what a rush these cars are... Thanks to Charles and Jake and the list...I am back on the ground... Even with more Megasquirt tuning needed, this motor rocks! from a rolling start, when I mash the gas, it just lights up the tires!, now to get it to do it in all 5 gears.... now this is what I was looking for... a torque monster...with a redline north of 6500... now to get it dialed in, then get to a rolling dyno. all I can say is WOW!!!!.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Thanks again for all who pitched in and sent parts and advice...herb |

Tuning is done with a wb02...I have a remote display for the dash...
this car looks small in the garage on its own wheels off the jack stands... I will post pictures...I just want to wait until the rats nest is cleaned up and I at least wipe off the 1 years worth of dirt....
