Larry,

Are you using a Jesel Timing Belt or just a standard chain with cover?
If you are using a Jesel Belt or timing cover, you may have to revisit your front plate installation.

I have decided to run a Roll Master chain set. I have used them with several other builds. All perform as expected.

Great choice. Saw one used in a 900HP engine for two years and it did not stretch.

[Dwight Southerland]

Are you using the Rollmaster unit with the two-piece cam gear that is adjustable?

[Dragsinger]

Dwight,

yes, have run several of those sets. All give good service, are easy to dial in exactly the cam setting you want.

In addition, I install the Cloyes two piece front cover with adjustable end-play button.

another example of small items that are very important and time consuming.

The photos appears to show the "just in time switch" in an awkward location but when seated it is just right. The mounting bracket is simply a piece of sheet metal cut and formed as needed. Not visible is a triangulation brace leg on the right side of bracket.

The toggle switch is a "burn/race" switch. Down is line lock only, up is both line lock and trans brake.

The wiring of line lock and transbrake together is not permitted in SS or comp eliminator.

Also, why use a timing chain when rules permit the use of a belt drive? When building a class vehicle, need to maximum advantage of the rules.

Is that toggle a three position (up-on/center-off/down-on) master power switch for your line lock and trans brake switches? I have a similar setup on my Mustang using seperate master power switches for those circuits. They let me disable either line lock and or TB when I don't need them. Since the actual switches that activate the LL and TB are seperate, I believe it's OK tech wise.

My car's street legal so the wirings a bit of a rats nest with all the turn signals and such running off seperate switches, so tech will have a fit with it anyway. At least I labeled everything.

It's not okay. Like Fred said earlier, there must be wire and circuit separation separation to both the line lock and transbrake. Tech will check and trace the wiring for separation.
