mike i spent about 3 hours cleaning stuff up in garage and took pics, sent to computer just to figure out my wife put some other email on it so when she gets home tomorrow ill download the pics. this might be just what i need to get me back to working on it

 

My battery butler also worked perfect, but the options on the cteck7002 will fit my needs better.

 

Out of sight out of mind. Just take things easy...
Still waiting on two motors to come back from the machine shop and Dyno room. Need to get a cust job done before we work on the race car. If we can't pull it off we'll pull out the other one and get that ready instead.

 

When is your first race of the season?

 

End of next month I think.
We want to take the Elva


If not we will take the Lotus

 

I need the battery tender because a 11.1:1 sbc with locked out timing puts a strain on my optima red top

 

I made a fix for that with a special dist.
Ask me how. Go ahead ask me how...

 

Okay what did you do LOL!!!


I've got a MSD 7AL2 & MSD start retard with the start retard set @ 8 * retard and still having fun with kick back

 

IM NOT GONNA TELLLLLLL...LOL
this was back in 70's.
Had an old accel duel point dist. I welded the advance plate solid.
Used the secondary set of points (yes points ) as my total advance set at max. Used a dist machine to reposition the primary points for starting. Found the right position and drilled the plate. Ended up with like 6 degrees start and 34 total. Used a switch on the dash to run the points.
Pretty neeto right ???

Are you sure your retard is working ?
I have heard of those things not working. My boys boost retard quit and melted a piston.

 

Melted a piston? Holy crap

 

only problems i've ever had with the camaro so far was cooling which griffon fixed and the msd stuff after my 4th box crapped out i yanked it all out and went with an externally coiled hei but i'm only running 12% underdriven on the street

 

Yea he's under driven too. Roughly 6 to 8 pounds boost. Cooling was an issue at the start also but new pulleys and radiator has it livable." I was never a fan of internal coil hei and he has one. Trying to get him to swap it out. Been zapped to many times.. Lol

 

mike tell him to check out the pro comp external coil hei i paired it with the msd blaster 2 coil. i also got fed up with the electric fuel pump i left it installed for a backup but bypassed it and went to a z28 mechanical pump i've always got plenty of fuel even at wot just a thought you probably know more vabout it than i ever will

 

hey marine do you have a 2.7? did it help?

 

just got in from a night of beer and arena football[preds] with the wife-great time.
whoever is callin me a yougin,thanks-lol. I am really getting addicted to this forum.
should have wheels and tires by next week installed. so the good is i have a tacoma,the bad is some people
dont,the worst is those who do its not blazing blue! yeah baby yeah!

 

Yes I've got a 4 cylinder ,

I bought the truck with the K&N FIPK already installed so I can't give you a definite answer . One thing I'm getting ready to do though is wrap the intake tube in heat sleeving to keep the air inside at or near outside ambient air temp

As for the K&N filter being dry " non oiled" , I learned this trick after watching my friends dirt Sprint car run laps with a dry filter . He was seeing close to a 1/2 sec faster lap times and just used a K&N filter sock over the filter for added filtering

 

Howdy! Back @ work. The wife and I took the day off yesterday and spent some time in quiet surroundings at a lake we go to from time to time. Did some fishing. Nothing to write home about, but we caught enough decent sized blue gill to make a meal. Just sat and absorbed nature's beauty mostly. We had a lot to be thankful for, and we NEEDED to decompress. There's still a few tough days ahead, but the outlook is MUCH brighter than it was a few days prior.

Of course....Life goes on. I get back to work to find that 2 of my employees were fighting and arguing all day yesterday. My phone was blowing up all day yesterday with text messages trying to get me involved. The drama dragged in a few other employees, and now I have to play "hockey ref" today and send 'em both to the penalty box. One may be leaving after this episode. Always fun.

 

Morning Blue
Glad ya'll took the time together. I loved panfishing when we lived in Illinois.

And thanks for the reminder I'm doing the right thing avoiding the management jobs for my second career. Sure is nice having the first retirement check coming in gives me the option, I'm very blessed and I need to remember how much so every so often.

Have a great day buddy, again, so very happy for you and yours.

 

Good Morning All! Make it a great day!!

 

You too Jim.
