Default Random thoughts on my latest projects

1. Make sure the sets screws for the Steeroids do not contact your
headers before you driving or it will scratch the coating off.

2. Make sure you pull the crank turning adaptor before starting eng,
it will run smoother.

3. Make sure you put jets in the rear block on your 750 dp or it will run very rich. :o

4. You cannot check syncos on a tranny just by shifting it when it is
out of the car.

5. Power steering is good.

6. Overdrive is even better.

7. Vettes are more fun to drive than work on.

Thought no. 1 is going to be near and dear to me soon. Steeroids on its way. Thanks for the heads up. Mine was manual and I changed it over to PS now to Steeroids. And the 5 speeds make a fun car even better to drive. You can now cruise at 70MPH without breaking a sweat.

8. Always count on While-I'm-At-It to kick in.

Me thinks that's why Chris's car was down for over a year for an engine and tranny swap. It should owe you at least the rest of this summer without having to turn a wrench. Should.

Ya right! Where talking a 33 year vette here. Still have a fair amount left to do. Tranny needs to come back out since the 3/4 sycro appears to be toast but that will wait to fall/winter/spring.
