    Timing retard - Why

    Thanks everyone. I will try the rubber hose and see what effect that has.

    Timing retard - Why

    Engine is a 512, solid roller cam, MSD Pro-billet Distributer with locked timing, MSD digital 6 box, Bronze distributor gear. Setting timing at idle (approx 1,000 rpm) to 35*. When any throttle is applied, the timing will retard approximately 5*. There is a cam button on the front of the cam...

    Transmission slipping

    I have a 727 that was rebuilt about 2 years ago by Champion Racing Transmissions in Sarasota, FL. There is a PTC converter that is about 3 years old. There have not been a lot of passes on this set up. Maybe a total of 50 over the past three years. Over the past couple of outings to the...

    Any C6 owners here?

    I had a 2012 Grand Sport 1LT. Of course, I could not leave well enough alone. It was upgraded with new cam, headers, centrifugal supercharger, and meth injection. Made almost 700hp at the wheels. I rarely took it to the track, but did a bunch of 1/2 mile events. I sold it to by my 69 Road...

    Here we go again- hurricane Milton

    Day 5, still no power. I am getting really f'n sick of the sound of the generators running. I am way out in the sticks, so I'm not anticipating power any time soon. Power company says full restoration by Thursday. I am not confident in that at this time. :cursin:

    Here we go again- hurricane Milton

    Well that was aweful. My area got 14 inches of rain from the storm. Other than some tree debris, a damaged fence, and no power, we came through unscathed. I live way out in the boonies so I'm not expecting power for at least a week. Still a lot of unpassable roads, gas is very hard to find...

    Ditch the air tank for an inflator???

    I have this one from Harbor Freight. It has worked flawlessly for about 3 years now. I have two batteries, so I do not worry about running out of charge. It easily does the slicks to 20psi, fronts to 35psi, trailer tires to 65psi, and truck tires to 70psi...

    What have you broken while out hot rodding your car?

    I wasn't driving my car, but pulling the car in my enclosed trailer a couple of weeks ago on the way home from the track. Broke an axle on a rural two lane highway in the Middle of nowhere. No shoulders to get even close to off the road. The saga begins at 9:15pm. First tow company I called...

    Here we go again- hurricane Milton

    I just got to work. Here all day to finish preparations, home tonight for a few hours sleep and then loading into the EOC at 5am tomorrow. 12hrs on and 12hrs off sleeping on the floor in an empty office. That will be the routine until things stabilize. Hopefully sleeping in my bed on Friday...

    Here we go again- hurricane Milton

    I have heard that the storm will encounter significant shear before landfall and that will cause the weakening. We are all crossing our fingers for that.

    Here we go again- hurricane Milton

    This one is going to be bad. Going to work tomorrow morning, will be at work until (probably) sometime Friday. My wife and the dog are headed to Atlanta. House is as secure as it is going to get. I am hoping the only damage is the pool cage is destroyed.

    NMCA to cease operation in 2025

    I really enjoyed the NMCA events....well run and met a lot of great people from a bunch of different classes. Sad to see it go.

    DOGS

    Mika, living her best life. Chilling on her favorite pool float. She gets on, floats around for a while, then gets off without ever getting a paw wet.

    I lost my wife to brain cancer yesterday...

    So sorry to hear of your loss. 20 years ago tomorrow, I lost my fiancé to a drunk driver. I remember the day like it was yesterday. The days, weeks, and months following were not easy. I very quickly found out who my real friends were and they were a great help to me. 20 years later, I...
