I enlisted the efforts of all the members of
Rochester Street Rods and Finger Lakes Classic Chevrolet clubs. We had Tom Deyle.
All are welcome Saturday mornings 9 to when ever. |

We set the seat in place and paced it out for
me. It will be bolted to the floor with no adjustment (only one very
tall drive will fit). I will make a bracket for the bottom of the
seat and another for the floor. I will then weld in a wedge to span
the gap to get the correct angle.
The roll bar will have to be modified so that
complies with the rules. I will be looking into how to do that
tomorrow. |

The positive cable has been run from the rear
to the front. This was not an easy task. You would think there would
be all kinds of room , but where the latter bars fasten to the sub
frame connecter is a very busy area under the car and it was not
easy to find a path for the cable. There is not enough room to run
the fuel line next to the cable so it will have to be run up the
passenger side. |

|
We did not make much progress on this as the
coordinator of the task did not get enough line. We did get the
first 72 inches run towards the front of the car. |

Jim Hand's book on "How to Build
Max-Performance Pontiac V-8s, along with Matt Shaft of Pro-Formance
suggested that flow was the big problem with Pontiac engines and to
help that the combustion chamber has been modified to help the flow
around the intake valve.
