  • Well My Ride Should Be Ready

    Over the winter(while I was here) installed fuel injection and raised the
    front end of my ride... last year I banged my headers on the FINE ROADS
    here in Mich so I finally decided to lift the front 1.25" to get some ground
    clearance.. it BARELY had 3" before and in some spots it wasnt 3" so I
    did that.. took more work than just turning up the springs on the struts.. and
    the springs were to stiff... I had to cut the upper mounts off and lowered
    them 1.25" plus changed springs from 325# to 275"... the struts were close
    to topping out just sitting there at curb height... I hope these springs settle
    a little like the other set... I'm still a 1/4" high on the design height .... well
    any ways I just got done doing the alignment so all I need to do is bleed
    the brakes then start driving it so the injection learns.....but its basically done
    if they are ever really done ... LOL ... now to see if I get in...sorry for the novel

      Most likely being that I can only run 10.0 due to the license issue(the
      lack of one and cant get one)... I thought about unlimited just for kicks
      and I might get on the way early.... but 90% sure it'll be DD

                          I'm not having very good luck with this trans... I took the car out for a test run
                          down the street... when it hit high gear with the OD on.. it locked up the rear
                          tires... I did another check.. it only locks up in high gear with the OD on.. with
                          the OD off it works fine.... so I'm pulling the engine and trans out AGAIN.. I
                          have to pull the engine/trans together(cant pull just the trans)... I got it ready to
                          lift out but I blocked my cherry picker in with 500 lbs of fertilizer so I have to
                          move that first.... this is getting REAL OLD pulling this trans.... I guess I better
                          learn to build this thing right
