    Syclone 1413 found and raced

    I know that truck a little. The trans went bad and was rebuilt by the guy that did mine. Not sure exactly went into it but you've probably a stout trans for build.

    Dimmer switch repair

    Pulled on the dimmer to go from high to low beams and something broke. The lever moves just fin but obviouly it's not connected to anything. And I stuck with high beams only. What do you think broke and how doI fix it? Thanks!

    Syclone 1567

    This is a trial balloon, just gauging if there is even any interest. Medical reasons will, probably, soon force me to sell my Syclone. Many mods. Many spares. Kick in rear to drive. Runs in the 11s at Sonoma. Won't smog of course.

    Ty 0073 Bowtie Build

    IMO the stock radiator is marginal. Might consider something else.

    11.6 racing at Sonoma late last year.

    I'm at 1:33 and at 5:42. Watch the 5:42 pass you'll see two things. First) I roll in just a bit after the bottom bulb comes on. That's on purpose. Gives me a better reaction time. Second) You'll see his red light come on -after- I leave. That's called True-Start. You don't know who got the red...

    Turbo blanket ?

    I actually gave up. And, once everything was together there is very little, maybe 3/8", space between the turbine housing and the AC compressor bracket. I do need to work on under-hood heat but that's a work-in-progress.

    Not a drag race exactly so I'm putting it here.

    Made a short pull against a new Camaro this afternoon. Made a right at an intersection, he was right behind me and pulled into the lane on my left. I heard him get on it so, well you know. We only went about half a block but he did not gain on me nor me on him. It was a white convertible. We...

    Help.. need AC Hose

    Is it just the hose(s) that are bad? If so then you should be able to find a place that can replace them. I once had a custom hose made at a shop that does custom cars and makes custom hoses all the time. Told them what I wanted and had it the next day.

    Got some good runs at the track last night. The cool air helps a bunch. Best 11.599 @ 118.93. 1.796 60' 18# boost.

    Noise coming from Drivetrain?

    Since the front driveline has to come out anyway (if you're gonna pull the front dif) why not pull it first and see what happens. At that point you can move the front yoke and see how much play (backlash) or other looseness there is. Are any of the seals leaking? If it's just a small amount...

    Noise coming from Drivetrain?

    In no particular order... Check the fluid in the front and rear differentials. (Neither have drains.) The rear can be drained by removing the cover. You might get some out of the front with vac machine. Never done that. You can also remove the front driveline. This takes all load from the front...
