IT RUNS!!!

 

how the F*** are you gonna start a new thread and not tell us any details

 

Shoulda got a bigger cam

glad to hear it runs, is it fast??

 

even i'm excited and its not even my car. How does it sound??

 

i bet he's out driving it right now

 

i know!
this guy kills me with his uninformative posts sometimes.

 

enquiring minds want to know....

 

how the hell do you start a post like this and not say anything else?

 

Great news!

Now go out and fill up the gas tank while the price is still under 4 dollars a gallon.

 

 

i spoke with trav hes not driving it lol he has a leak out of the thermostat housing cause he tried to hack it and put just rtv didnt work said hell have her on the road tommorrow and possibly tell us what he f'ed up to make it not start come on travizzzzz you have to tell us what you did to make it not run

 

<- permanent grin on my face.

got the new o ring, the rtv didnt hold, blame the damn spectre brand thermostat housings. Terrell will be posting in about an hour or so a nice video clip we did of it firing up and idling, a few quick revs. I thank all of you so much for your support in my threads to get this thing alive. It sounds very good. and hopefully terrell's video shows it too.

before i go out and drive it, their is a few minor issues i need to address to make it streetable. should have it all done monday (my day off) then i can enjoy it all day.

 

so what made it not run?

 

click to hear

 

Awesome!

What do you have to do from here to break it in? Has that been done already?

 

not much breaking in to do since its al hydraulic. i let it idle for a bit, i need to get it out and drive it now to use the engine to pull and brake to set those rings best.

-it's just a 305 with a miss.

 

so why didn't it run dammit

 

 

lol i just watched the vid. your neighbors must love you firing that thing up in the middle of the night

 

howd u like it?

 

The suspense is killing me. What did you forget to plug in?

 

Nice Vid Traviz =)

 

sweet

 

Sounds awsome!

 

now just get rid of those flow master mufflers that only sound good below 1000 rpm

 

He has a spintech.
What was overlooked Travis?Better get the first test drive vid too.

 

r u crazy those arent flow's

its spintech.

and the video does kinda **** up the higher rpm rev i did. so dont judge it by that.

youve heard it before in other videos my car star'd in im sure.

 

nice that sure dose sound mean

 

It sounds good! I'm not totally crazy about the spintech, but it's better than a flowmaster for sure. Are you still running a cat?

 

ultraflos ftw

 

i havnt had a 'cat' since day one.

 

damn travis sounds pretty ****ing good cant wait to see it in person.... are you going to dyno it at the dyno day?

 

hopefully. whenever that dyno day is...

 

yeah no s***!!!!!!!! get that thing broken in so you can sun it!!! congrats though it does sound hella good.

 

Congrats Travis. Sounds fuc*ing awesome! I love the cam sound, the spintech even sounds good. I am working Monday (today), bring that thing by when you get a chance and give me a ride. I want to hear her in person. Can't wait to see what she does at the track.

As for what he did to make it not start, who the hel* knows. I was on the phone with him and my brother the other day for hours. We were having him go through wiring diagrams to figure it out. We never could figure it out, only thing we knew for sure was he was getting no rpm signal which is why his injectors would not fire. Then Travis took all the wiring apart and started fresh from scratch, after hooking everything back up it started.

 

pretty much right, i removed it all and started over. then it worked.

 

congrats on ur ride dude. and the sound of the car i wouldn't instigate a race. now break in teh motor and that that baby to the tracks. Couple people from my car club and I are planning to go to sac raceway on may 29th, u guys should come down. Watch me spin a 3.56 60'lol

 

that would be sweet! i dont know if i can make it i will try though

 

Dude! Don't put your car back together when your stoned or at least not as stoned.

 

I don't think Travis smokes....

Well good I'm glad that's all it was travis. Now lets see some 11s out of that bitch

 

I was trying to give him an excuse.

I struggled 3 days on a tune up of an Austin Healy Sprite with positive ground. It just wouldn't fire.
I finaly figured out that what I thought was a non needed spacer was a must have a non cunductive washer between the points and the base of the distributor. Dert der der

 

hey dwayne you ready to run 'em both n/a?

 

Yup! Bring it on cupcake!

You may have a chance since any body can race with an automatic.

 

i do shift mine manually if thats any consolidation

 

except when you raced that lt4 and missed an auto shift and lost terribly than we ran from the cops

 

i know thats why i need an aftermarket shifter, to prevent that overshifting. doesn't happen too often though.
