Seals shot on a 29 year old TB. Nah...couldn't be.  Steve's TB...and Erics chip...is the best money you'll spend on your car. What stall is that Vig in your car? 2800 or 3200?

3200, I'm wanting to move up to a 6262 but it will not be in the budget for awhile unless a good used one pops up.

What would your car run in the 1/4?

I think long run it's $$ well spent. Those seals could have made you crazy later on trying to find an air leak.

I'm happy about it for sure. He even threw in an extra seat of seals.

That 3200 will spool the 51 like a mad whore...and the slip rate when locked...will check in around 3 to 5 percent slip...so you'll MPH well. If Eric isn't locking the convertor for you via his chip...get one of the guys on here to explain how to hook a switch in the ashtray for you to lock it in high gear.


Jason ran my equivalent to be about 10.3x. The car always picked up 25 mph out the back door...so it would have been about 130...and my home track is far too short to get stopped at that speed.

I'll have to do that. I didn't have Eric burn this new chip for locking but I'll have to install the lock switch.

Pretty sweet. I'm hoping for high 11s.

I bought a used alkycontrol system from a guy but it has double nozzles. I ordered my chip and Eric specifically asked if it was 1 or 2. I put 2.
The reason I'm saying all this is I just purchased a single nozzle as Steve says it easier to tune with and I don't need the other nozzle.
Will the difference in the chip be enough to send the chip back?
Should I just stay with the dual?

question best answered by Eric, I think.  I believe Eric pulls a lot more fuel out of the chip on the ones burned for dual nozzle and that might make the car lean with a single nozzle set up.  Single nozzle will run into lower tens with no sweat.

your car should be capable of mid elevens or a bit quicker...if you are that capable :)

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

2 nozzles is overkill for your power level. Contact Eric and ask about the difference in his chip for 1 to 2 nozzles...gues sing isn't good. Post on the Parts Wanted section of TB.COM and get yourself an ashtray switch. It's cheap...and makes for a clean install. You can hook your lockup switch in and also line lock. If you have Erics 5.7 alky chip...bump the low gear timing to 129...and it'll go into aggressive mode. No reason you can't run a high 11 with what you have.

You can make your own line lock...and you don't have to to any flaring or cutting lines. When you're ready...let me know...and I'll post pics of mine. It's so simple...it's scary.

I emailed him. I ordered it a couple days ago so I'm sure he will be able to switch it over to single.

Hopefully I'll be able to do it. As long as I don't flatten a lobe on break in. Lol

I'll have to take you up on that. I have a b&m line lock kit. I'm weary of brake lines haha never done it and not looking forward to it so if you have a better way I'm absolutely all ears

I think the roll control units are all the same...with a threaded inlet and outlet. I remove the washer bottle and recycle it. I then mount the roll control unit to the fender where the washer bottle was. Take the roll control unit and visit your friendly parts store and grab an 8 to 10 inch length of premade brake line that screws into the roll control unit. Been awhile, but |I believe it's the rear brake line you unsrew from the MC. Very carefully untwist it and screw the end into the roll control unit. Take your premade brake line and use something round to bend it 90 degrees to line up with the MC...and screw one end into the MC...and the other to the roll control unit. Wire your roll control unit...bleed your front brakes...and you're good to go. I'll stop by the shop tomorrow and get a pic and post it.

On my Hurst line lock it uses the front brake line so after you hit the brakes & flip the switch "on" the pressure is held in the front brakes so after you let off the pedal the back brakes are free to turn. Maybe yours is different? I don't use a proportioning valve.
