i believe its something like i asked you about... as long as its not a paper element, i'd think it be ok...but lower the micron count, the better(less restrictive), right?

If anyone needs any Calvert racing or Cal- Trac parts or set up help feel free to call me at the shop any time during business hours.

Beech Bend 4-12-2014 TNT session. Went today to test some carbs and misfortune continues to plague me. First pass the car barely lifts the wheels with a 1.52 60' and runs a 11.47et...it was all downhill from there.

Finally realized the convertor had given up...tightened up so much the last pass it literally drove of the line for 30' before it took off. Can barely keep the motor running in gear. I'll pull it out in the morning and see what I can find lying around the shop for a temporary replacement.

Sorry to hear that, Rich.....I'm sure ATI will take care of you. On the bright side, even with broken pieces you were still .23 under.

Yeah, I'm going to send it off for repair and keep it as a spare. I will order a new one Monday...may have something in the shop to stick in there for the upcoming Combo race this Saturday.

Looks like my initial diagnosis was not complete. When I pulled the convertor out I found this...stator support shaft the correct terminology???

By the appearance of the shear site it looks to have already been broken...there are three shiney spots which is probably all that was holding it together. I'll attribute this back to the prior driveshaft/housing perch failure fiasco. I told you it was rather violent lol!

Anyway, with this set-up out of commission for a spell I slipped the PG back in temporarily. I'll try to hook up with Thomas at Bowling Green and pass off the trans and convertor to him for repair. Convertor status is unknown and I think it would be prudent to let ATI cut it open for a look-see.

On a positive note the added fuel gauges showed me that the fuel system is working well...was still showing 6-1/2psi thru the lights.

While the car may not be as peppy with the PG, I'll still be at the Beech Bend Combo race this Saturday...what else could go wrong?

brent flynn · 04-13-2014, 05:16 PM

Dang man! You are hard on stuff! hehe... atleast you found the problem...

Beech Bend Combo bound in the morning. This will be my first race with this car and the first S/SS race I have ever entered. I'm sure it will be a learning experience. I'll try to get some pictures to post up after the race.
