Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I am 75 and still ordering new tools to make the car better. I am so glad that the desire to do the best job I can with my ability has not faded.

Drained the Dana 60 lube and inspected the 14 year old gears. Very smooth with zero tight spots. It looks good enough to go another 100K miles

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
We are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It much easer to see through the hole in my wallet.
Thanks to the Holley school information we now have the proper tools to crimp connections. The cost was a little high but the quality of the crimp is well worth it, thanks Tom. I am still having to find a few parts in bar stock. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Bob Toy is almost finished, I should be able to drop the drive train in this week. Getting all the wires out of harms way will be a challenge. We are ready to smell some smoke. The time consuming part will be getting the weight correct at each wheel while observing ride height. And then its test, test, test. Indy is fast approaching.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
A dunce cap for me I ordered the incorrect alternator and will have to redo the bracket if I can not find the correct alternator. A stupid old man trick!

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
It was easier to order the correct type alternator than to fabricate a new mounting bracket. The new alternator is more than double the output of the old one. The wire from the battery to the alternator had to be enlarged a few sizes to carry the amp load. I hope the increased output may affect performance in a positive way due to higher voltage available at the injectors.
The more I learn the more I realize what I don?t know. |
