Thanx guys. Perhaps I'll go on the hunt again for a different spacer, but when I looked for a 3/4" option, this is what I found. I could mill down a 1" spacer I imagine, but I didn't really want to go that path.
With a few hundred miles and dyno sessions on it, I'll be able to tell if it's soaking up fluids by pulling the TB off. I need to adjust on the idle set screw anyway, so once I have the shaker off, pulled the TB is easy.
I'm really happy with how the valve covers cleaned up under the hood too! It's a lot of work at times to get those final details, and this was one that took me time to get to. I'm glad I did!
As for having the right shop, this car would be nothing compared to what it is if it weren't for Eric. He's done some amazing work for me!
Weld, let me know when you will be in town. I'm traveling the first 2 weekends of January, but I should be in town the rest of the month... Too bad you won't be here in February or you could join me for this:
MVP Track Time
I just signed up for the 3-day weekend. I hope TOW and I both survive it, that will be my first time on COTA. I can't wait!
