Not well. As usual with me, every time I get full of myself something happens just to let me know how much I don`t know. Lost the ignition on the fourth pass. I think. I think I`ll change 3 or 4 things as usual so I`m really lost. I`ll still be at eagle field. Your fab skills are exceptional by the way
lost ign should be easy to diagnose, didn't shear pin on dist shaft did you?? Thanks for the compliment but just an old pipefitter who hates to spend money, with a lot of time on his hands.... Hey if you are ever around Roseville look me up......
Well getting closer.......upper bracket Before final touches, bending sanding ect........ used my CNC machine " Carls Nutty Creations machine"
Good job Carl Sorry for my late replay, I can't find the pictures of the wheelie-bar set-up. But again yours looks really fine. Mine was built around the push-bar, and the excisting hole in the chut-tail. I'm done for the season as the block has way to many cracks /K
Way too much Nitro huh Kjell......... too bad ya weren't closer I might have a block for ya...........
Well got the upper bracket bent today my brake wouldn't handle the thickness so had to get it done...... and of course had to make extra gaskets and spares just in case we need um....... thanks mom for use of kitchen table its hot here today 108 degrees ug.............remind self , if I ever hit it big get garage air conditioned.......
Well some days are better than others........ Finished restraints........ old fuel pump set up...... would work for the carbed version but not enough for the blown version........ New pump...... new bracket....... T&T next Friday!!!!!
Thanks Eric, ya got that Studie ready for Eagle??? ya know ya got a place to stay if ya need it......... Yea Tim I think I will spend some time looking at the GoPro directions
Well I was hoping to have more done but I rolled my ankle and was down for a couple weeks. Plus change of direction on transmission. Got a line on a original B&M hydro to go in place of the Muncie. Still a four speed just the trans does all the work.
Sounded Good Carl, Careful Dancing around on your trailer, you'll be walking around all hobled up like I am this week Replacing the Clutch in our 4x4 truck kicked my ass ,
[Good luck at test and tune. I made the mistake of pitting up by the staging lanes and found out that everyone else wanted to do the same. barely had enough room to move around the car. I won`t do that again. The tech guy really knows his stuff , but he is not a hard a.. . Have fun and let us know how it went. ]
Yea I always pit out in the back 40 usually by myself, plenty of room. You gotta stop using the 4x4 as a race car Tim, Beth will win every time!!! Damn though looks like I could shave a few tenths off by getting rid of that damn Dunnlap............ ouch that sucks.
Well T&T is over good news and not so good news..........11.272 at 120.53 blew trans gasket oiled down track ug....... engine was great running a little rich so plenty of room for improvement ........
Sounds like some of my luck went your way. Are you planning another test session before eagle field? If so, I think I`ve got mine fixed and need to prove it. MSD doesn`t like solid core wires and non resister plugs.
We will have to see what exactly the problem is this week some time and go from there, Sac wants me to add some more safety shit to the car also....... it never ends add something that requires more additions.......
More maintenance Tom, a belt guard on top pulley, and a cover over trans.... but she will be ready for Eagle!!!
Just found a free test track for us Californians. Went to New Melones lake this afternoon and because of the drought there are no boat ramps to be used. There are two parking lots, each about 1/8 mile long, that are completely empty. Made 8 launches and shut off just before the shift point. Never thought I would have anything good to say about the drought. I`m ready for eagle field, see you there.
Sounds like the test and tune went OK other than the trans problem,,, Safety stuff,, the cost of going faster, any video yet
Uh two old farts couldn't figure out how too turn it on at the line again so no video.......Ugggggggggg We really need to get that part of the crew up to speed........
