Got my parts a day early only to have the ID of the reducer bushing too small and to large on the OD. CNC stuff you have to love it. I wonder what the sampling rate was and what the tolerances limits were. So tomorrow back to making stuff with a wall thickness is about .031.

Finally got the shims, sleeves, and adjustments made to the bracket to get the alternator pulley to look at the crank shaft pulley. Checked out a few more new parts for fit and ease of assembly. I still have to Install new plugs and tighten valve covers then Install in car. I?m looking forward for the o2 information but not the wiring challenge to keep the wires from getting burnt.

We are more than ready to get to the track.

Larry,
Do you have a target for your first race this summer?

End of July. I think it will take a little bit just to understand the data that we can now gather. The big IF is can we turn the information into lower et and better closing rate.

Meanwhile back at the ranch Dumbo is being ignored on a very regular schedule. That should change, I hope.
