No issue with you mentioning that. Appreciate the comment and passed it on to Ricky. One of CaseyCajuns good friends whom has been a gearhead (Ricky) all his life has been helping me sort the car for the last two days.
We replaced one of the fuel regulators today, as well as a transmission line for safety. He has been going over the car with a fine tooth comb.
I am not sure if Vic ever ran the car when he had it, but I am sure it has been some time since it has seen a track.
New plugs and a tune up today.
Drained the fuel and ran to the airport to pick up some Avgas, added the 2 stroke oil and found more issues with the carb (gummed up). Full rebuild on the table for tomorrow, or possibly picking up a more robust carb per Ricky. Currently has a 750 single pump on it now, he recommends a 850 double pumper.
Gates open a 5pm, pretty sure we will be ready. Matt is taking his 14' Camaro Twin Turbo V6 (running high 12's) and Meredith is swiping my wifes new Cadillac CTS-VSport Twin Turbo to run. No school (Mardi Gras break) for the kids so we can stay out late playing.
Ill post some pics on Thu.
