Has the Eagle landed in SoCal?

Yep -- got here an hour before my buddy landed at Ontario airport -- unloaded his Range Rover -- drove to the airport and picked him up - and off he went to Palm Springs... Met up with Rudy and we've had showers and dinner - and have a plan to hit So Cal Speed Shop get together in the morning - hit the NHRA Museum - and then pound our feet into submission doing the show until it closes.


EEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA

P.S.


The weather has been complete crap on the entire drive.... including "sunny warm so cal".


Spent $85 today getting the truck and trailer washed ---- because it looked "kinda" promising around 8AM --- by 9AM it was raining...

Oh well... Beats working for a living!

Bummer. It will break tomorrow so you'll be compelled to wash it again. Let Rudy know if I was riding shotgun I'd wash it for you.

How could you expose such a high-tech tuning method on Lat-g

He knows how to build, tune and play...........

Dang looks like uncle Jesse got a pair from Daiseys laundry day crate.

Finally got to take a drive! Up to temp still hollow off idle, pulled over added 1/8 to the fuel screws, few miles on the highway, added another 1/8 turn and it's close!!! Possibly a little richer on the fuel screws or maybe an 1/8 turn tighter on the primary accelerator pump and bingo! 1,800 rpm in 6th was not as good as it could be, 2,100 in 5th good comfy cruise throttle at 63 mph. 3rd gear 4K hard roll on was........

Now I can relax and start tuning this clunker!

If you saw it right now you'd swear it was grey and the trailer was brown. It ain't as much dirt as it is GRIT. WTF I just parked it and flew back to SV. Maybe the Seattle rain will knock the chunks off while I'm gone.

Glad to hear it's getting closer. They are just motors - air - fuel - spark.... eventually it all has to come together!
