It's nice to have the fan override if you want it, but I doubt you will need it while you are on track. One thing about going fast is there is a lot of air flow. The only time I've found it handy is if you want to cool it down faster at the end of the session after you stop moving.

What are you planning to do with this car? Drive it daily?

Also what engine is in it? Can't recall if that year came with the M25

Installing things on the car: • Transmission tunnel insulation and driver side heat shield • E-brake pedal • Interior firewall blanket • Some wiring harnesses. Trying to figure out where the harnesses are supposed to route, and attach to the car presents some challenges • Main under dash HVAC assem...

Had some drama obtaining the proper cam cover gaskets. If you need to buy GM parts I would suggest avoiding GMpartsgiant.com. No one sells all the gaskets you need in a kit. Aftermarket kits all seem to be missing the seal for the vacuum pump. Looking at the pieces it seemed like the prices piecemea...

You are now an expert! Has to be many more of these needing rebuilt - could be a side business.

Not sure if I'll be ready this year but https://carlislepafairgrounds.com/proje ... nationals/

Since I'm not actively working on the Vette the need to do a swap meet has decreased, but if I was picking one from the list, fall Carlisle might an option.

Rear axles installed, ebrakes assembled properly IMG_1121.JPG Big round of welding. Almost done. Missed a couple small welds, and still have to put the sheet metal on the bottom of the A-pillar in the door jambs.

Differential install is complete * differential breather is in place. I ordered one for a 5/16" fitting but it ended up 3/8". Quickly overcame that with a change of attachments. * turns out the bolts holding the halfshafts to the diff are one-time use torque to yield. I torqued them to 55 ...

Added the Caddy to my list

Acquiring parts: * Went to pull a part to fetch the differential. Also secured a wheel center cap, exhaust tips, special washers for the rear suspension camber adjustment, and three the door handle trim pieces. The rear bolt was gorilla tight I had to use leg power on the pipe extension on the ratch...

I was card dead most of the night, I've run good at Chris's for a while so I was probably due for that. The royal flush draw also implies a flush draw and a straight draw. As it turns out an ace would have been enough as well. When none of that materialized on the river I couldn't put Dave on two pa...

Had to learn how to jack up this car to pull the diff. Differential is out - literally just unbolt the halfshafts and six bolts. I wasted some time because the rubber u-joint had metal sleeves that were slightly pressed in and I didn't understand this. After reviewing some videos I applied a few ham...
