Put the car on the ground to set the initial right height, then work on the front end alignment.

Spent a little time doing the final fitment for the Racecraft Inc strutless wing. Need to drop that off at the body shop this week for paint.

This week the plumbing was completed. I used Brown & Miller PTFE lined, aramid fiber braid hose with their crimp on hose ends. Light weight, very flexible and should last for a very long time compared to rubber lined hose.

One other little fabrication project was to make a bracket to attach the 10 oz c02 bottle to the side of the fire bottle. Pro Werks billet clamps finished off the mount. Need to drop the bracket off for powder coating.

Hello Todd,
Please explain the shift linkage. I'm certain I'm missing something.

Thanks.
See you at the races,

The travel sensor on the transmission linkage can be used for numerous things when tied into the Holley Dominator EFI.

Can be used for reverse lights, shift indicator, neutral safety switch, high gear timing retard, as well as idle circuit fuel/spark map adjustments to keep from dropping rpm when put in gear. I’m sure there is even more it could do.

Thanks Todd, didn't know it was a linear potientiometer.
That splains it.

See you at the races,
