    another angle, if all goes well, we will finish it and fire it next Tuesday , and do as much tuning on Wednesday as possible. Then Sunday the 28th, weather permitting, we will be racing with the Great Lakes Gassers at Milan Dragway![​IMG]

    For a fleeting moment she lived, and now she is back apart and off to the machine shop, had to valves hanging up.

    Nah, I could have worse problems, and even with her blowing back throught the valves in cylinder 2 she still sounded pretty bad ass.

    Well, we plan on starting it (again) on Tuesday , hopefully beating the crap out of it to find any leaks or problems, then Saturday we will be in Milan for the Detroit Drag Reunion. I have my fingers crossed all goes well. We just are getting the car back together ( we had some sticking valves on the first fire up, faulty machine work)

    On the next video skip to 1:50 and 2:50 the audio is terrible because the car has a mag and solid core wires, but you get the idea =)
