Off season maintenance/upgrades

[Dave Noll]

I do not, never have , never will. That is beyond my wallet. This isn't a mod hiding in an ignition box. These are off the shelf products from MSD and Racepak. We've been discussing this in a few different threads like it is some black magic. Its not. The module is Part # 7761. NHRA knows about it and its in the Accepted Products list as only PROHIBITED. It is for sale on the retail websites. RACEPAK and MSD has this info on their youtube channel. Its all over YB as well. I only have a legal Sportsman data recorder. VM-T009 is the part # for the Grid to data recorder cable.

YES, an MSD ARC module

Dave Not trying to insult you also. I already knew how to set it up. But you need to use parts that are not allowed in Stock or Super Stock. Trying to make a point with everyone that thinks just because you use a Grid or a Race Pak that it's easy to cheat if you so wanted to. I'm sure NHRA's Tec department has had several conversations through the years with MSD and other companies that build ignition components. That's why there is a list of ignition products we can or can't use. BP

Nhra can and does check for the arc module. I have been checked 3 times
It’s done on the return road just after a run

Time seems to be flying by since the finals at Pomona. The down time is short out west here. With a busy schedule (and expensive) coming quick. Pomona followed by Phoenix. Then a double header at Phoenix to start the division 7 year. One of my good friends tested his tranny shield at the last race in Las Vegas at the National race. Shipping and parts take much longer to get right now.

I’ve been off for several years due to work injury.

But I’ve started collecting parts. Going to change cam/lifters to solid roller. New headers and Performance Welding merge collectors, swapping the TH350 for a metric, oil accumulator, oil pan going to Steph’s for internal work, possibly a windage screen as well, rewire and clean up some stuff, finally going to get wide band and the data recorder working. A bunch of maintenance (valve springs, tires ect) already leaked the engine it’s still good to go. I’ve got all that stuff here except transmission. Probably put it on at least chassis Dyno and some other stuff. Got sorta bad news from Dr today. So I won’t be out in the spring as I had hoped. But I’m determined to run a couple divisional and hopefully a couple bracket races in my other car. With the goal being to get enough grade points this year and next to be able to enter Indy 2023. If I can’t get back in the car myself. I’ve decided instead of selling. I’m going to try being a car owner. And let someone else drive it. Not crazy about that. But don’t want to quit.

Dave, I wasn't insinuating that you had one. I was using a generic "you". I should have clarified that.

Barry, Dave has "a clue".

[Dave Noll]

I understand Billy. I just wanted to be sure Anybody else reading this knows that.
