I was having trouble getting stopped at some of the short tracks. I just didnt trust those old brakes anymore. Plus I need to get some weight out of the car. I was about 70 lbs heavy for SSIA. Then I also need a looser converter. Mine only stalls to about 5500 with the 327. The converter I have is for a 350. I hope to see you at the races after the first of the year.
Happy New Year Mike, we got the trans apart and ave parts on order, hopefully they will be here Monday then we will get it back together. We are going to try it out with the fresh trans first to see if this was the problem, as I said the convertor would go to 6200 so it's fairly close. I have a lot of guys haelping me so hopefully I can attend a few races and actually run with you guys this year.
I really appreciate everyones comments on this subject, looking forward to seeing all of you at Bradenton.
