A week and a half later it now becomes clear what went wrong at Willow Springs. On the first warm up lap of the day, the car went dead. No power to the coil. Got towed in. After dicking around with the electritestacles for an hour and tracing the problem to the relay board (almost certain), I decided to run a jumper to the ignition switch. Fine, now it runs again.
I go find out there's 10 minutes left in the 2nd session and jump in and take off. Made one lap and you've all seen the results. What happened: While in the engine bay I had the dist cap off, and some other wires. Particularly the postive coil wire because of the Pertronix. (You can't leave the ignition hot while testing and have power go th the Pertronix. It will burn up in a minute.) Well, there were more hands in the engine than mine and the dizzy got turned. No one to blame but me here. Should have been tighter. Anyway, that's it. It was an 050 which has more total advance. That coupled with hot race gas put me out of the racing business. MikeZ will carry on from here. I want to see that car kick some ass. Some of your asses. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge24.gif) Things happen for a reason. I believe in fate. I'm looking forward to what life offers up next. |
