well I didn't check the engine yet, but I did take it to the track for the last day of TNT of the year. I had to see how the new rear would do.  Three passes and spun on all , 1.87 60ft 11.67 @ 119 was the best. I was not expecting to get 10s, but I was hoping to at least still be able to cut some 1.5 60s. time for slicks.

yes there has always been some oil coming from the breathers, I guess I could call Weber to find out the clearances. I put in my request for a leak down tester for X-mas.

finally got a chance to do some work on the car, first thing I changed was the coil pack, started the car after and all seemed well there was no more lights blinking and fuel pressure gauge flickering. so I am assuming the other pack was bad even with it OHMing out at 11k.
Question - the car had back fired three times and I am just wondering what kinda damage it could had caused, It seems like I have a ticking noise on the passenger side and cannot tell if its an exhaust leak or lifter/rocker noise. also seem like I would be having crank case pressure because I have more oil coming from valve cover breathers and even some coming out of the valve cover bolts. car is not smoking, just bleeding oil more.

Thanks Guys. Steve I am doing what they tell me and my wife makes sure of that also, Crawfish etouffee is one of my favorites, it just will not taste the same without the spices. but I will manage and do what it takes to try and live a lil longer. I had been smoking cigs since I was fifteen and now its been over three weeks that I have quit.  . As for the car, I have put in the 9" and is working good so for except for the pinion seal leaking, and I have an electrical issue to work out. I am trying to have this resolved within the next two weeks because there are only three more sundays of test and tune at the track.

Hey PPl . on Nov 9 I had a heart attack and nearly lost my life. Here is the story - went to work on nov 9 a Monday morning, I was feeling pretty good, the only thing hurting me was my left shoulder felt like I had strained it from working on replacing the rear end on the GN so I didnt think much of it. while on my way to work the unconfortable feeling that I had in my shoulder was getting into my chest, I stayed at work until the feeling was into my neck area and was affecting my breathing. at that point I decided to drive myself to the Hospital 20 miles away. Made it the the hospital and drove to the emergency lane but I decided not to park there because I didn't want my truck blocking a real emergency, so I tried to find my a place to park in the parking lot. WELL as I was looking for a place I caught my heart attack, truck in drive and my foot on the gas pedal, I am out. truck starts to race across the parking lot for about 300ft then I hit a concrete Light pole, it breaks in two and the truck continues on and crosses a road and onto another parking lot where it comes to a stop as both front tires are blown and the frame of the truck jams on a curb, gas pedal still pushed, the building next to me is part of the hospital " wellness center" . they heard the crash and started CPR right away until the ambulance showed up to take me to the ER. 100% blockage on left and 2 places of 80% on the right. I am getting better everyday. My reason for putting this on here is this. I felt normal and I thought that I was OK and healthy , get yourself checked out I have a second chance.

I ordered a new rear end for my car, It's a 9" with disc brakes from Checkered Racing. their web site says that it weighs 160lbs, anyone know what the factory unit weights are ?

The Friday before I left to go to Cruising the Coast I took the car for a ride, everything seemed good until I nailed it after turning a curve and the car backfired, I got out of it and headed home, started checking the scan master and seen the Voltage was under 12v. so I was figuring that was the problem, started testing battery and ALT. . the Alt would drop voltage after running awhile. cold starts it was at 14+, I tried to get a replacement from Oreilly but it didnt arive in time so I took my chances and headed to CTC. Everything worked great on the way there. The next day just cruising around the Volts started dropping. One of my friends from MISS. had a ALT. he could not use with his setup, so he sold it to me, later that night we changed it out, steady 13.9-14 volts. so we are good. This past Saturday night I leave a car show ( Got a peoples choice award ) , I got into the gas and the sum bitch backfires on me again, volts were 13.9 , so maybe I have some other problem. I havent had time to check over anything yet. Just posting for any ideas for when I do have time to check. Thanks.

it was a pleasure meeting you Gordy. I also had the pleasure of taking a ride in Scott's car, what a blast.

looking at the log the Bls are at 129 when the 02s are reading 000. I noticed that it only does it at idle and part throttle , and not at WOT.
The owner took the car home with him to have it cleaned up , so next time I have it here I will do some more checking,

Just got my friends GN on the road, things look good on the PL and scan master except for the O2s , it's showing run lean after warm up it cycles and goes to 000 and stays there until you move the throttle, I also notice when cruising , any change in throttle speeding up , it also hits the 000 , so I put in a new 02 sensor and it's still the same . It's like it's reading and shuts off

the CD that came with the new PL didnt have the drivers for the port, So I used my CD to load the drivers and had to dig thru my computer to manually initialize a port.
