Ironic that Dave Henniger from FAST called me yesterday after I drove the car, (He flies into Havasu a couple times a year to tune some special boats). Very knowledgable and great guy. I wish I knew a fraction of what he knows about fuel injection. The tune seems excellent, no glitches or weird areas in the RPM band. The car ran great and all the gauges were where they should read. Still getting used to the clutch. The car felt very fast from 20 to 100 ( I was not going to push it), better handling than the 68 and overall was a fun day. The battery worked!!!!!!

Cool!

Stuart, what clutch do you have in the car and what is the characteristics of it. Your 69 is one nice looking ride as well. Thanks in advance for the reply.

In fact I come here everyday to check the new post :D Even if i'm not restoring the chevelle, all your knowledge will surely help me in automotive work, and for turbo tuning on the supra :yes:

That's awesome, Stuart. I wonder what the deal was with the battery?

Tim, I feel ya. I averaged $350 a quarter on books in school. The most ridiculous is when you show up to the first day of class with the required books on the syllabus, and the prof has written a new book, which they make you buy as well. Nothin like shellin out dough to pad the pockets of some pompous prof, huh :mad:
Of course, then you take the books back at the end of the quarter, and they give you 20% of what you paid to buy it. Wonderful

Stuart-

I'm glad to hear it runs as good as it looks!! It doesn't surprise me though!! AWESOME car!! Glad to hear you got things figured out with the battery. What did you do, put a diehard in it!! LOL!! :D It's just one of those unanswered problems I guess. Although I think we found it ironic where it happened. Kinda funny!

Mike, Jody would probably be able to give us exact details of the clutch, my info is at home. Jody, three of my friends in Havasu want to know the specs of the motor, you da man!! These old farts want one like it, man this power thing is addicting, huh. Ten years from now 1000hp will probably be a starting point!!!

The battery being dead at the Optima booth and not being able to show Scott and Jody the front electric headlight doors in action was really weird - maybe an inside job, if you know what I mean!!!

Scott, I did take the video last month of the headlight actuators in action, but felt there was not much to see other than the doors opening and closing -if you want the video anyway I will send it to ya.

Brent - Die Hard - good one!!!LOL. Should have been, huh. Getting excited for the little one I bet.

Funny you should mention 1,000hp. ;)

Sure, I'd love to see how they work, but if you're going to send me the tape, you might as well get some extra footage and I'll post it here. :D

Stuart

I'm interested in the actuators on your 69. If you have a video of the mechinism, Lets see it!! Is there a seperate switch or is it actuated by the headlight switch? Just wondering...
