MPH shows how much power the motor is making. ET shows how well your car is working. If you have a high mph but a slow ET. That means your car is not leaving correctly or is spinnig. Midnight posted he went 9.0@83mph. He said his car was not leaving correctly but picking up around 1/2 track. That mph shows he could run low 8's if the car would leave correctly. I have ran 7.9's at 84 with a 1.67 60ft with my old car. If midnight would put a 3500-4000 stall in his car with a gear his car would easily run mid 7's if not faster. But convertors are high so he is going to stick with what he has right now. Maybe I can make it to Greer next Thursday and check the car out and see if run. Did you get a Power Valve for it? Good Luck!

Gotcha...thanks Chris.

Ed

I didn't mean for you to call me then, I meant for you to call if you got lost. I was unavaible because it was off. But i'll see you in two hours.

Exerlate remember if those tires give you any trouble just let know.


And it is time to start planning for our next meet!!

thanks agan gator

yea when would be a good time for anthor meet????all of you that could not make it last time this is when you post your ideas

he got a new power valve but it is still having some problems so i think the carb has too much vacume at start so i dont know ...

hey man well its saturday night and ill be out yall didnt say where u wanted to run at so i dunno where to be but i will be out riding tonight just like most other nights. but maybe i will see yall out. yea i totally understand cody's probs with the carb and the power valve i had my share of probs with those i usually have some spares if u need one and the parts stores are closed or whatever the case may be. but yea man ive got the car tuned in a lot better now. i need some more things done maybe one day. i hopin itll run pretty good this year. but well see. cyall later

He needs to recheck his floats after that. If he hasn't all ready.

Xceleratemaro, you might want to take a vaccum reading on the motor to make sure you have the correct power valve. It might be saying open and just jumping unneeded fuel into the motor.

92 he will check the vacume probroly after he gets the tranny back in....

thanks midnight but he allready has one he is running .65 is that right....

Once you get the car going again buy or borrow a vacuum gauge and hook it up to a vacuum source off the intake or carb. Once you know the vacuum of the motor you can get the right PV. Since the cam is very small you will probably be ok with the 6.5 PV but it never hurts to check just to make sure. The PV can cause a lot of problems. When you take the reading make sure the car is in gear and at idle. Take that reading and divide it by 2 and get a PV that is close to that figure. This is how Barry Grant told me how to find the correct PV.

Also whats wrong with the transmission?

Xceleratemaro, have you put the tires on yet?

not yet gator i have to weigh till monday to get them on

thanks 92 well try that right now were installing a shift kit b and m

its kinda hard

Xceleratemaro, Let us know if Cody is going to run his car this Thursday I want to see what it runs. I heard a few different stories last time you said low nines then I heard low 10's.

92 he 1st ran a 9.3 then came the low tens ...the carb just kepted getting worse

gator gess what i poped one of the new tires you gave me i ran over a garden tool...where did you get those so i can get another??? thanks

Xceleratemaro. Did yall ever get the carb figured out?

Hate to change the topic here, but how many of you guys/gals are going to the Auto Fair this weekend??????

I'll be there on Friday and Saturday but won't have the Iroc with me, she's still torn apart a bit.

Hope to see some of you guys there! I'll be fropping by the GMMOC area to say howdy..

Ed

Ed,

I will be there friday looking for parts, although I don't really have the cash for parts after buying my project 69 camaro, but I will be with GMMOC saturday and sunday. See ya there man!

not sure about the carb yet havenet had time to check it yet

I will be at the auto fair Saturday. Xcelerate, I got them At Super Service/Kelly's Tire in Walhalla. I can't belive one of them popped. What kind of garden tool did you run over? My headlight covers finally came in after 6 weeks!!!!

Ed, I'll be there this weekend, but I won't have my T/A. I'll be driving something for a friend of mine.
He usually reserves spaces down by turns 3&4, near the "Little Trees" sign. If you wanna stop by,
just look for a hugger orange '70 Chevelle SS in the area I just mentioned.

-Jeff

Greer sucks for traction. Any of you guys ever race at Shadyside?

speedfreak918, I would agree with you Shadyside is alot better then Greer. Shadyside's track is better and you don't seem to have to wait as long in the staging lane when you are running your car. I don't have a car to run right now so I don't want to waste the money driving to Shadyside so I will stick with Greer. But once the car is ready to run I will take it to Shadyside instead of Greer.

Yep, the line at greer is a PITA. I used to get there at 5:30 on thursday and get about 5 passes in by 6:30 then mabye get 2 more in by 10 o clock.

I dont have a trackworthy car right now either.

Greer was close to me when I lived in SC but Im in NC now and shadyside is closest(still 45 minutes). Lived around Taylors so I got spoiled driving 10 min's to the track.

xceleratemaro where was cody at tonight i was down there but i never seen him did sumthin happen to the car. hell i just seen ya wends. night and yall said he was gonna run. ? there was some decent stuff down there tonight. well im out itll be time to go to work in a lil while see yunss later

cody got 3tickes yeasterday and his kind of pissed from one cop

He got 3 tickets in one day!!! What are the tickets for.

Hey Gator_Z28, No we left Friday evening due to the rain coming in, the spots we had were in the dirt and I didn't want to be there in the mud. We did go out to Kevin Whitaker's Saturday night, that was a good show, and we are leaving Saturday morning at 6am to go to the Rod Run in Pigeon Forge.
We need to get a date started floating around for a get together, maybe in the next two weeks or so.
C-ya
FlaminSS

damm i did not know that keven Whitaker's had a show damm i missed it...we should me there at the nexed one....anywho...we need to meet agin..somewhere in greenvill .......when.......where............

How about the first weekend in May, that Saturday is the 3rd. That should give everyone plenty of time.

I'll try and make it this time. I might have exams though.

Hey guys, May 2 would be good, I know we will be going to Darlington for the F & Y body shootout on May 10. Just choose a spot and let us know. We went to the Rod Run this weekend and it was awesome.
C-Ya
FlaminSS

Lets pick some other place than hooters this time.

I agree, What about a Sonic's, I was thinking maybe about the one in Easley on Hwy 123, that way it's in the middle, closer for the Clemson guys and about the same distance for the Greenville guys, maybe we can get more from the Anderson area as well.
BJ Hawkins
Hawks Third Gen Parts

Easley sounds great to me. Is that the new Sonic?

Well hawks how about thinking about us up here in Rock hill (me, Ebmiller, and Topless91rs). We already have a hour and a half to drive. I'll travel to Mauldin road but I'm not going any farther than that.

BTW- Topless and Ed, we need to meet up again. It was fun meeting both of ya. maybe we can go to tubbys or something. Just give me a call on the cell at 803-524-6415.
Later
Brian

COME ON we need to get something up and running time is a wasting.....dammit pic a place

if your have driven an Hour an a Half allready than what is another 15-20 min.?

Well Gator, money doesn't grow on trees bud, and my gas mileage isn't the greatest. If you guys are stuck on having it in damn easley then we'll just have a seperate one here in Rock Hill. Xceleratemaro and ricebeater said they'd already come up.

gator waz up man when are you going to post some pics of the hood???

whats up guys
I have been talkin to No4N... and we were talkin abouts hopefully going to the darlington F & Y body shootout on the 10th of may.... maybe you guys in the greenville area would like to come along.... its on a sat. ... just a thought.....
michael

Whats up L98!!

Yeah we've been talking about getting a bunch of us down there. Chris, call me whenever you see this and maybe instead of a meet in easley you could come up here and we could do some 1/4. Let me know because I'm definitely going to this. Ed would you be interested. If so just call me and well figure something out. Topless91, you being a member of SCFYB also should already know about this.

Later,
Brian

Brian, yeah I saw that. Trying to get my car back together after Rockingham, my vaccum control valve for my heater blew out and burned the crap outta my arm and I blew my transmission mount out, I guess after 145,000 miles it needed to be changed anyway, I'll see what I can do but no guarantees right now.

1000 POSTS!!! Woo hooo.

eh hum...anyway...Yeah I understand topless. If you need any help just give me a call man. I'll gladly help out.

I just got the car back from getting the hood painted and its raining. When the weather gets better I'll get a pic.

No4N, If you know of a place in Greenville to meet we can meet there. Easley was just a suggestion. I live almost an 1hr and Half away too you know.
