Cad, you might get some ideas from this lash up. Crank pulley is an East Coast #2253.

Yes, I was glad it wasnt more serious as well. I'm replacing both u-joints in the driveshaft with Spicer non-drilled units just for peace of mind before it goes back into service. Plans right now are to take the car to Music City Raceway in Hendersonville Saturday afternoon...just a 1/8-mile track, but it generally hooks well and will give a good indication of the car's potential. Once satisfied with the reliability we will head back to Bowling Green.

How many combo races are they running , this year? You have schedule?
Who knows, i might be able to hit one or 2...Thinking about the August divisional, right before the Nats...

Re: '67 Camaro E/SA redo
 

Finally, some good news to report. Took the car to a local 1/8-mile track this afternoon (Buffalo Valley) just to see if it would go down track without any parts falling off. Although the track runs slightly uphill and the start line was less than ideal we finally caught a glimmer of the cars potential.

The first pass was with the Caltrac links in the upper holes and the carb a little lean.

Second pass with the links still in the upper holes and added richer metering rods.

Third pass we put the links in the bottom holes. We made four more laps down the track, but it was getting ugly by then with tire spin on the launch so we called it done for the day. I figure the next trip to Bowling Green will result in low 1.40's 60' times from being on a prepped surface. I be happy for now. :)
