Hi FORD guys,
What are the winter plans? anybody building?
I had discouraging results with the EXP in ITC this year so I will be spending some time at the "Dyno" to find some horsepower. I learned some things about keeping the car in one piece during this past season. I've already removed and rebuilt the carb. I found some strange things going on which may have been some of my issues this year. I'm thinking of trying a fancy ignition (MSD6A, any suggestions? The right front fender of the car got wrinkled in one innccedent and an RX-7 (rookie driver) came down the banking of NASCAR turn two and put tire donuts down the side of the car in another event. So I will be repairing the paint job I did last year. I will be looking at improving the suspension a bit with some better dampers.I will be replacing hubs, bearings,ball joints, brakes, etc... And of course, the on going general clean up.
I have extensive engine work to do on my other "Not a Ford" race car, but some how I'm drawn to spend what little free time I have on the Ford.
Hope the holiday season finds you all well.
Cheers, Drew
