Aubrey, PLEASE don't give up! I know it's frustrating and very EXPENSIVE as you try to develop this combo....We've all been following the build-up with you over the last few years.....You should be commended on getting that piece out there! Awesome job so far!!!! 1962 Bel-Air Sport Coupes don't exactly grow on trees anymore! THERE will be some DEAD ENDS as you sort this piece out....happens to all of us....How far away is your 'local' drag strip?....I would try to get the car to as many 'test and tune' days as I could.....FIX the problems beforehand if you can....like the fuel delivery/high speed miss thing...Find A BASELINE chassis situation with the previous mentioned info....also a BASELINE clutch set-up....TRY to get some OBSERVERS to go with you and carefully WATCH the car during a run...photos and videotape would be a plus also...Input from local racers there and try to find a guy with 'stick' savvy....RECORD your results and TRY to make ONE CHANGE at a time.....i think you're already doing this.....If your budget allows, that Bremerton date might be a good place to bring the car....you'd be with 'stick' guys....and maybe you could pick up a few pointers there....But please.....NEVER GIVE UP!!!
Just my .02..........
