Mr. Brownstone - 69 PT Camaro

[Richio1]

Chris at WCAC has replaced the carb cam spring on the accelerator pump and rejetted it. After some fine tuning she is running even better.

He said it looks like the shop that built the motor just slapped the Quickfuel carb on there right out of the box. It has the stock jets (50s and 65s). He is trying 65s & 80s to see how those work. They also had the timing at 32* whith really tight spring which he feels was too conservative for this cam / heads set up. Chris thinks there is more he can get out of the motor which is great. Out of the box it dynoed 470 / 517 so more is mo better


He went to take it for a drive yesterday and one of the power steering hoses blew.

Ordered a new one along with a new fuel sending unit since it isn't reading. Maiden voyage should be later today giving him a chance to identify any bugs, season the brakes and play with the jetting some more.

Plan on heading up Friday to take her for a rip.

Another crappy cell phone video but am too excited not to share. It is soooo good to see her moving under her own power.

I think the videos are being shot with a 1 megapixel Nokia flip phone. Tomorrow I will get better pics.

It may be a strategy of theirs to just share blurry videos so you can't make out all the details

That's the plan tomorrow. Heading up there late morning. They were hoping to get it into the alignment shop today so we can put some miles on it tomorrow.

I sure hope so because they are going to have to pry me out of there once I get in it.

Just sweet.

Thanks guys.

No ride today. The car went to the alignment shop yesterday and when Chris was raising the car to drive up on the rack the ECU/controller died.

Kim from Matt's, where I got all my RideTech stuff, called RT and we will have a new ECU/Controller and cable sent out on Monday. Even though the kit was bought in early 2010 there was no problem getting the new stuff sent out.

Gotta love that.

Thanks John. Yeah I really like the way the Borlas sound. Chris says it sounds way better on person... And loud.

I'm sure your Spintechs will sound awesome with that motor of yours.

Once the bugs are worked out on mine it's coming home then it's all hands on yours getting it done for West Coast Nats.
