Ok,
today’s update.
For an
unofficial car nuts meeting we had a great turn out and progress has
again been made on several fronts. It seems we are having problems
completing tasks so they can be crossed of the board. The tasks are
like loose teeth; they are close but just refuse to be removed.
Part of
the engine coolant system is in place, and most of the rest of it
will be completed tomorrow. We will not be able to cross the task
off though as we need a radiator cap. |
 |
The lines for the remote oil filter have been
run and are complete, now the bracket for the filter has to be
finished (still cannot be crossed off the list). |
|
The
starter shims arrived from Jegs, Tom once again removed the rod
catcher pan and the starter. The shim was installed and the starter
has been reinstalled and is waiting wiring (a task for tomorrow).
The starter clearances are no A-OK. Still cannot be crossed off the
list. |

 |
The crankcase ventilation system has been
started, the tubes connecting the through frame vents to the puke
tank are in at the rear of the dragster. This 1.25 inch ID tubing is
a pain to work with! |

The guy with the white hair and pony tail was
caught working I wonder who that is and how come he was actually
working. Most of the time he is just standing around assigning tasks
and was caught cutting off a 3 ½ inch length of wire. |
 |
Next time you see Jack ask him about that 3 ½
inch piece of wire he is holding in the group photo. |
 |
I marked
and cut the fixed piece of fuel line, ran to Matt’s and had him weld
on the AN fitting, returned and finished plumbing the fuel system.
It should now be fuel tight. I do still want to add a filter right
before the carburetor (still cannot be crossed off the list).

 |
Some of
the wiring is being finial fitted, but some of it has not even been
started yet.
We are
close enough that we could start to think about firing up the
engine, Fuel system is complete, coolant is almost done, electric is
not too far away (need headers to get the exhaust away from the
chassis). |
 |
Control cables are being laid out, but we are
missing some clevis. |
