Converter Problem/Question

[7820]

In my case it was the converter and Mark figured out for me. I had all sorts of poblems at the Pontiac Heaven Race at Speedworld. Thought it was ignition related.....changed everything. Talked to Mark and he nailed it.....rolled the sprag. Took it out when I got home and yep......rolled the sprag. No longer have a sprag of that type...I now have a mechanical diode.

When I launched the car it would slowly accelerate. Instead of running 9.0's at 150 I was running 10.80's at 146.

Thanks for the help Mark.

You're welcome, and that's why we have a m/d in Alex Kadar's 455 GTO . Man, those 455's are tough on roller sprags.
