Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Dumbo is starting to develop a little bit of a personality. I still need to button up the oil pan, but that will be tomorrow.
Today is Taco Tuesday a day late but the margaritas will be good. They won't be as good as Stan and Shella's but they will contain "grog" and imitation lime juice and salt. I know they will be bad for my diet, but oh well! |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Ta-Dah
I just hope its not Ta-Dud! I hope to record a Dyno pull or two next week, good or bad. As Steve Kopein would say " I just got's to know " I know I'm not finished but there is a list of things I want to try on the next one. Patsy says I'm hopeless.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Getting ready to go to the dyno I feel a little like Santa Clause. You know making a list and checking it twice to keep from forgetting something that is needed to be a successful trip. It took me at least 15 minutes to come up a list of items I think I need. A lot of spare this and spare that plus gas, oil, ICU, and computer.
I forgot I was low on fuel and meeting my file guy this morning at 8:30 am. The worst thing about this weekend is we are missing the Danny Coffman Memorial Race at Bowling Green. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
The first time we went to Jeff Teuton's Southland Speed and Dyno Service with Sid operating, James and Cooter handling the FI, Shawn being the right hand man, Me, I was the clean up guy. All this was taking place under the watchful eye of Jeff.
This time we will be at Jeff Taylor's shop in Indiana. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
On my way home had a good day at the dyno, everything stayed in place without any oil leaks. I must have done something wrong every engine before this had an oil leak. It’s amazing how these things run as good as they do.
