Well -- Santa Barbara is a beautiful town! I love it here! We had a nice day of cruising down "old town" if that's what they call it - and just generally scoping things out. The car was running like crap... so ended up doing a big of the ol' parking lot re-do... coil wires from the MSD where bundled with the EFI wires - SUPER BIG NO NO.... so got that straightened out. Having a trailer is where that pays off... nice big box full o' tools... wire... etc. Then the injectors are LS7 versions - rated at 58 #'s (39# injectors - but MOST injectors are rated at 43#'s).... so that's where they were set.... Poor thing was PIG FAT.... so dropped that down to 50#'s and runs FAR FAR better....
The rear end is puking gear grease on my fancy dandy exhaust --- and that will just have to wait for a better time to fix it. SAR can handle that when I get back north.
The one thing I want to say -- this car DRIVES fantastic! As in 90 MPH on the freeway is like driving my big four door... well not quite... but it drives GREAT. I lowered the tire pressure to 25#'s all around and that really made it handle so much better... but the suspension is terrific in this car. I'm very very impressed with that. My buddies '32 with the dropped straight axle is a lane hopper. And it's rough... and wanders. Not because it's loose steering but because it's axle etc is all over the place. (The '32 I down here with is different than the one I say drives like crap... this one I'm with is a "Great 8" car -- all torsion bar suspension and a Northstar motor - and it's SWEET).
