Thanks guys. Jason, you should bring that big Ford out for a run around a course. That Q Link would probably stick pretty damn well! Yes 2nd gear would be nice at least once in awhile!

That works too... another reason I like the intentionally ambiguous moniker.

I've seen this play out before with this Renner character. One of his (many) threads starts to lag so he and/or one of his lackeys cronies come up with a new spray...

Flash, you post a few 1st gear vids...

and then fittingly on Super (hype) Bowl week, you come up with some obtuse name from some obscure band...and I use that term 'band' lightly.

Someone wake me up when he hits 2nd gear.

Congrats Dave on getting the car back together and running it in the Auto-x

LOL - where is Renner when I need him????

Can I get a tranny spray or something that allows me to shift into 2nd?

And hey... an attack on Soundgarden is an attack on humanity! Them's fightin words!

You're a piece of work Skip... in a good way that is.

Good stuff Dave. Awesome name for the Camaro and a great explanation behind it. Can't go wrong with some Soundgarden.

Thanks Corey. I like your attitude!

Some good and some bad happened today. Hopefully the bad created some good and prevented bad from happening later.



Apparently before the distributor was reinstalled recently we did not notice the lack of a bronze gear for use with the big solid roller cam. It now has the bronze gear in it as of today. Not sure exactly why the steel gear snapped today while just heading out for a cruise. Esp after working it hard last weekend for 75 miles or so including the AutoX.

So we put my girlfriend to work on the side of the road.



We still got to enjoy the 75* day for a little bit before sundown still and put a few miles on her. Will change the oil again (maybe twice) since the broken gear pieces are down there somewhere.

Still not sold on why the steel gear broke now... it had been in there for who knows how long before I acquired the car... then I put 500 pretty hard miles on it before we pulled the motor and freshened up... put it back together and it breaks in under 100 miles?

Thoughts?
