It's track day!

Man, hopefully I get a better time than I have been! The only change since last time is the fuel injectors... hell I'm even running the same brand of gas!

I've also wired up that Torque Convertor Lockup Switch. https://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/t...ueswitch.shtml I might put it on for the last race I do. It came out pretty sharp! I used a spare computer power cord with the ends chopped off. That got wired to a Radio Shack rocker switch. The switch was meant to be installed through a 3/4" hole, but I took a scrap length of 3/4" heater hose, and pushed the switch in- kind of like a handle.

I haven't tried it yet (just made the switch assembly a few hours ago, haven't plugged it in), so hopefully it'll work alright.

That's exactly how I feel!

But I'm here to say "I broke"... I broke right before the christmas tree, before my second run. Check out my message at the tech board...
