Driven later yesterday night before total darkness,after my last fine tune of the carbs finding the carbs spit back a little more than I like,however once the motor is up to temp all is fine.
Getting a bit of pop back from the exhaust on decel ,may drop main jets back a little,not sure . Oil temp gauge went poo a while back,fitted another inset into gauge today,no result and then found some real issues from the PO...again don't want to go there. Will test both gauges tomorrow,after tracing wiring s#itstorm. Thinking about lowering the front 25mm or more,after insert replacement it is too high. Could have done more ,really a average day ......... |

Installed the transmission in the race car affectionately named "Carerror" . It really nice to stand in the rear trunk and grab the tranny by the hornes to get that last 3/8th" and hear that wornderful sound of clunk.
She's going on a small diet, going to lose some wires and lights as she was street legal. All she needs to do now is get passed PCA tech. I know that I need new seatbelts and a helmet. Going to open a thread in The Paddock for her. |
