Dale,

everything is fused with the Digital Delay fuse/relay panel.

The Super 10 progress is good. At this time I think a test at Texas Motorplex July 25th bracket race is completely within reach :)

Most likely I will fire it up this weekend and check all systems for operation.

I already know all electrical items work normally, fuel system good to go, brakes ready, so stand by for smoke! [good smoke from a new engine]

Good to hear you are ahead of schedule, Larry.

I have a question for you regarding your Hurst Quarter Stick. I have one in my Mustang and the Allen head screws that hold the trigger and shift lever to the main stick keep falling out. Is this unusual or did you Lock Tite yours? My shifter fell apart in traffic coming back from the paint booth today. Embarrassing... I've taken to keeping a hex key set in the car at all times.

Dale, that shifter is at least 7 seasons and has been in three different cars. Never any loose screws.

Sounds like locktite would be your friend

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
 

Yea, the Super 10 is alive! Spun over couple of times and fired right up.

Sounds great, just like a real racer. Everything is looking good. No oil or fluid leaks, oil pressure as expected, idles good, throttle is sharp. Did a valve lash check after running about 5 mins, all is OK, nothing changed.

Powerglide operating correctly, all gears and trans brake normal operation.

One thing that gave me a smile, with the 1.98 low in trans and 6.0 rear gear at about 1200 RPM idle in low gear the rear tires are moving rather slowly. I think pit road speed limit will be easily conformed:)

Don't forget the GoPro on it's maiden voyage. :)

So,, you're saying you've got a screw loose,,,,,,,,,,,,,, interesting.
Sorry, Dale I had to do it. Hope to see you again at the next combo,, keep thrashing.

Serious progress

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
 

Comfort and convenience when in the "command center"

Out with old fashion crank up windows ! In with new Delco motor/regulator assemblies. Parts from an S - 10 Blazer are a direct bolt in.

Finding door switches and wiring harness would require scouting the U Pull It's but I have no desire to spend time doing that.

Instead, source two DPDT momentary switches on - off - on from local store for $9.00 each. Then build a custom harness and switch mount. Total time for wiring and switches about two hours. I would still be at the U Pull it.
