When do the gates open for spectators? Planning on watching the runs on Monday - Thanks!
Awesome ride!
Here is the view in Salt Lake City right now (1 1/2 hrs east of Bonneville Salt Flats)
I think we are going to be good. They said we would have rain yesterday and we didn't have any. It shows a chance of light showers right now,...
When is the car show at the Nugget on Friday? Also, does anyone have a link to the race schedule? Thanks!
Supposed to rain all week in Salt Lake - hopefully we don't have a repeat of last year...
Love it!
I have just under 10 in-lbs of preload on the carrier. I welded a busted socket to a piece of metal and clamped that to the ring gear. If I go one...
Here is the pattern after moving the adjusters 1 notch. I have .009" backlash. The kit recommends .007 - .009 so I am in spec, though, I felt I...
After running it through a few more times the pattern turned into the attached images - this is with .024" shims and .005 backlash. I am going to...
Here it is with the .003 (might actually be .0035") removed - improved considerably in my opinion. The pinion has 20 in-lbs of preload with new...
I'll give it a shot and shoot you a few fresh images - give me like 10 min
My instinct is to push the ring gear into the pinion by a adjuster notch (in an effort to get the pattern deeper in the tooth) and then pull the...
Thank you for comparing these photos
Here is the coast side of the pattern
I have a 0.015" + 0.009" + 0.003" --> That being said do you think the pattern issue is pinion depth?
Hey guys, first time doing a re-gear. 4.11 Richmond kit. Check depth is 1.029 & my cap surface is .012" above the axle centerline. I currently...
Can you drill it out and tap it for a bolt/setscrew?
So a question I would like to pose - does anyone know the diameter of the smaller surface at the back of a 390 crank (1967)? (see flywheel image...
Drove I-80 thru Wyoming Dec. 26 - didn't know it could snow that hard!! [IMG]
Was a ton of fun! Definitely going to do this again and take a whole day or two - here are the pictures I took in between rubber necking at all...
Mr48Chev & Daddy_O - thanks for the replies and tips! The radio sounds like a must! I have a CB but it isn't hooked up. Hope the wind stays...
Looks like everything is lining up for me to come out Saturday. Again, this is my first time seeing speedweek - what should I expect? When...
I live only 90 min away and go out with my buddies on the weekends to goof off in our Mad Max cars. Coming out this year to see Speed Week for...
Wow, really dig the MSD distributor you've got on there! Glad to hear it made an improvement, I think I will just pinch my pennys and hold out...
How about that! Sorry to hear about all the issues you've been having, however, you're not alone. Mine is .060 over, and does not like to run...
Don't know a whole lot about the earlier Chryslers, all I know is we seem to have a lot of them abandoned out here in Utah, USA. [IMG] [IMG]...
