'66 Pontiac Resto-Mod Update

[wmhjr]

Aw, Geez Jeff! You just had to go there.....

Seriously, I'm taking a break from messing with it this week. My tank is dry as far as focusing on it for a few days. I'm going to spend Sat and Sun AM getting my shop organized again. Then it comes back in the shop and next week I'll be back at it. I have some wiring to finish up, and work on bleeding the brakes and the hydraulic clutch. Then I'm going to start messing with the stuff we talked about - the regulator, etc.

Hey, I just peeked at the dates for Norwalk this year..... I'm expecting you'll be there?

BTW - I've got some really funny stories from the show. You sure see all kinds. On fri AM they let a bunch of tech school kids in early. Most of them seemed to be really into tuners - which I have nothing against. Anyway, one of them walks away from a '68 Camaro with a crate 502 in it, glances at my car and says something like "Gee, too bad you don't have that guys engine in your car!" I point to my data display and show the part where it lists torque and HP (significantly higher than on the 502). He says, "yeah, but that's just a guess - a 462 will never make as much power as a 502". I simply point to the part where it says "Dyno conducted at xxx on xxx...." and tell him, "Son, it's a good thing you're in tech school because your reading just ain't quite there...."

Kids.
