Dumbo The Flying Elephant

The old machinist rule: measure twice cut once; and almost right is still wrong!

Broke a stud off in the intake and had to dig it out. It broke two threads below the surface and damaged those two threads. Straighten the threads with a pocket knife. Got two different ez out kits at Lowe’s that worked very well.

Larry,
The GEN III HEMI is a bear to work on compared to a RB isn't it.

It’s real tough when I do stupid stuff

When will Dumbo first hit the track ?

When Patsy can go racing in the motor home. I'm hoping we can get the Holley system installed in the car and on the Dyno before we go.

I’ve been studying the new engine management system from Holley. The first items I’m going to get and test is a backup for every sensor. I would feel very silly to travel 600 to 800 miles to race and have a problem with a $30 sensor.
If two identical air temp sensors vary 3 degrees would I need to change the offset to make the ECU supply the engine with identical A/F and spark of the previous run?

Now that I’ve thought about it a faulty O2 could cause all kind of headaches.
