Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
We have been working on some secret squirrel stuff. More latter but not to much.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Not much advancement on the secret squirrel stuff but today I get back in the saddle. I’m not sure how life got in the way so much but it did. I did have Bob Toy fix an electrical gremlin that almost bit us last year. So now I have to double up and catch up. Indy is just around the corner.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Wow did it feel good to be working on Dumbo. After a season and a half under the hood is just very dirty and dusty. Removing the engine is a must to get clean.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I may have found an occasional miss fire, engine coolant in the spark plug well. I think Dumbo will be quicker hitting on all 16 plugs.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
All plugs a little bit oily but not real bad. It so much easier to check valve lash with the engine out

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Larry,
The level of "Blueprinting" in this engine is nothing short of amazing. I hope it brings you the FS/D class Wally once again. Frank |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Mr Vic stuff is Bullet fast and the car is a work of art. To have a chance I’ll need everything I can get. And if I try to go to Super Stock that Patterson young man is way fast. Both Chevys run killer MPH.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Got some tooling finished today, will finish one in the morning. Patsy is on her sister trip so my list of honey do?s is real short this weekend. I should get a lot accomplished.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Best laid plans of men and mice. Long story short it blew up in my face. Maybe a 50% weekend
