Have fun in it Jody!!!

If when you get back and need a hand, even if its a food run let me know.

Car looks awesome man! Congrats!!

Dan

thanks Dan. I've been dinking around tieing up loose ends waiting to leave for Power Tour. I re-routed the breather and fuel lines, swapped valve covers, and got the paddle shifter to work. I knew it was a wiring issue, since I'd wired the car............:P Steve at Twist Machine was very helpful in figuring out what was happening (or not happening). Turned out that it was a simple weatherpack terminal that had not been seated properly and had pushed out when I connected it, causing no voltage to the controller for the manual mode. Simple fix, works great now.

Can't wait to get back from Power Tour, turbo should be back by then, and I can start driving the car. I'll post up more final pics when I get the turbo installed.

Jody

The good news is that you will have the car in great shape when you take it on it first road trip.

Ken:thumbsup:

just waiting on the turbo. Should be here next week, Precision called me this morning. :thumbsup:

Jody

Just enough time to roll it outside and give it a bath!! :yes: :cheers:

Did they identify the problem?

they said the oil ring/seal showed "wear". He was also going to do a mod to the housing to help oil drainage at idle.

Not sure how it had wear after 10 miles of driving or so, but seemed happy with how I had everything set up.

Jody

Hey Jody any new updates? Pics, video, something?

well, actually a few things have happened. I pulled the centers of the wheels and had them powdercoated a different color; looks much like I initially wanted the car to look, very happy. Also the turbo showed up today (Saturday) which was a surprise, so I just finished re-installing it.

I swapped to new rear end gears (same 3.50 ratio) to cure a loud whine on decel. I also finally located a stock 4L80E trans pan and gained more ground clearance, so that's been done.

All I'm waiting on is to have my ps pump returned from Synister; I sent it back before Power Tour as it's leaked since new; I don't have anything back yet, so the car is ready to drive but I can't due to the missing pump............. :mad:

I'll post up some good pics of the new look in wheels, and finalized photos when I get it moving next week hopefully. And I'll be buying a new video camera to make a couple videos.:thumbsup:

Jody

Jody I had the same thing happen to a 74GTS. And that turbo was new and only ran for 3-5 minutes. Once they changes the ring I pounded it with boost and she never leaked again!

Can't wait to see the video of her running down the road...:thumbsup:

Jeff

Jody,

I just spent the last 4 hours reading every page of this buildup, saw your car in person at Hot August Nights & it is amazing! No one ever asked you this, but what exactly do you do for work? LOL

He's a bouncer.

Here, that shifty looking character on the right got too close to Sandlin's COPO Chevelle. Jody took care if it.
