oh i replaced allll those lines on the motor drop haha. and i don't have to replace the injector, it's just turned and situated in a way that i can't get the connector on it because the fuel line's in the way. so i have to pull the plenum, loosen the cap, and just twist it a bit. it's injector number 4... right where that fuel line runs down it's JUST in the way. SUCKS! but luckily i did the TB coolant bypass, so a plenum pull shouldn't be TOO bad.

unfortunately i'll no longer be able to make it. jon starts his block leave on the 28th, so that's when we'll be able to leave here.

kwhauck · 06-27-2010, 01:59 PM

son of a.......so it's like 2 people? I don't know if I can justify the trip for that....

99alerogirl · 06-27-2010, 02:28 PM

hahaha i can't help it

BlackJack · 06-27-2010, 09:58 PM

this is going to get interesting. I will likely be running by then, but I doubt if I'll be final tuned. Still up in the air for me.

Also, Milzy still hasn't sent me my rear transmission mount yet. Something about the "kit" being designed off the standard 4t65e from a Bonneville and has a different rear bolt pattern than the HD model. No idea. Never compared them. So, I'm likely not going to be able to throw down any serious torque unless I get that resolved. Hopefully he has some good news soon because I cannot check my overall geometry, downpipe and wiring clearances without it installed. I'm leaving shortly for field training for a month, then returning for less than a month, then deploying to Iraq again (no surprise). But I'm not going to have time to make any runs or do anygood on tuning due to all the preparation for this deployment. If that occurs, I'm going to be PISSED. This shit has been on order since FEBRUARY 1st (what is that, nearly 5 months??) with the statement that it would take a couple of weeks.

Ben on the other hand has finished everything he had control over and I already have everything installed. Just have to finish bolting up the accessories.

hmm....damn well kyle if it doesn't work out for people now I can try to do one in september for when greg can come. Though I am still planning on doing the one on July 24th too.

What is different from the last time you raced it, can't you put it back the way it was, and get it good for some high 12's? I don't have a block of time off scheduled till the last week of September. But as of right now, I would estimate my car is running 13.1-13.3, it would take some cooler temps to get into the 12's.

BlackJack · 06-28-2010, 05:45 AM

what's different is that my existing rear mount is snapped off for the 3rd time, and there's really no way to reinforce it anymore.

Oh, I missed that chapter, or forgot about it. My front mount was worn out too (but not snapped), just changed that when the tranny went in.

Reminds me of having to chain the block to the frame, when I had my last '65 442. It was always breaking a mount.

So will this be a no go for people on here then? Actually BJ do you know those other people that joined from around your area?

BlackJack · 07-03-2010, 09:19 AM

there's people that joined from around MY area?

wrestlingandrunning · 07-03-2010, 12:07 PM

Phillipandtabby and sanelero

BlackJack · 07-03-2010, 10:39 PM

I met sanelero once. haven't seen him since, nor have I met phillipandtabby

wrestlingandrunning · 07-03-2010, 11:36 PM

hmm hopefully they'll get on and see this, I was hoping with the advance notice a lot of people would show up but now some are backing out

kwhauck · 07-04-2010, 09:57 AM

yeah it really sucks, we'll play it by ear man, i would really like it to be though when greg and bj can be there....

and greg, if i can get running this month i will be down for at least one club connection at bandimere in august, maybe september as well.....

wrestlingandrunning · 07-07-2010, 10:15 AM

Well thanks to the owner of topekacarshow.com and moderator of lawrencetuners.com more interest has sparked for this meet and I may still be having it.
