I got the headlight actuator relay and installed it. With the hood up, both lights work as expected, yay! But when I closed the hood, now the passenger side is hitting something and not able to fully open. Hopefully just an easy adjustment, but it seems odd.

Next up are the header gaskets ...

I finished the passenger side headlight today and got it back in the car. It works good now. I have the headlight actuator on order from ebay. I was hoping it would be here this weekend. Once that is in, the headlights should be 100%.

A little progress tonight. I applied 12v directly to the headlight motor, and it works. And it moves exactly like it should.

So I guess there is a headlight actuator relay thing mounted right in front of the left front wheel. It sends the power to both sides individually. Might have to replace ...

Dang, has it really been that long since I worked on this thing??

I decided to try tackling the headlights today. I watched the ChrisFix video on youtube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPj1kJm4AnU

I had already purchased a kit from Amazon with the brass gear and nylon bushings. I started with ...

Had a GREAT wednesday night at the track! As mentioned in the other thread, I took the Chevelle out to race for the first time since May 2024. I really just needed to make a few passes for the Buckeye Skips thing. First pass was a little disappointing at 12.48 @ 107. The datalog showed it too rich ...

hey guys, with Walt's passing, Maverick sent me an email saying that Randi would like to sell the car and if any of us are interested. I hope you don't mind I took it public like this.

If I was smart, I'd sell my '90 to make room for this one, but I'm not there yet. Randi isn't looking to make big ...

Back in the winter, in the afterglow of Drag Week 2024, I signed up for this local drag-n-drive event called Buckeye Skip's U Cruise Em, U Race Em. I had no idea what it was, I just knew we had fun on Drag Week. They are going to do Tech/Registration ...

I think all the updates are now current.

Thats cool to hear about it still and that new owners drove 1000+ miles to trailer it home.

My old S10 Blazer came up for sale a couple months ago from the guy that bought it from me. It was like seeing an old friend.

Well, I'm back home.. but cant do much for the next few weeks.

Well played!

Here are the bracket race runs. I feel like i lived up to my Tiresmoker name here.

Some of you know... i had surgery on my neck today to relieve my spinal stenosis that ive been dealing with this spring and summer. Im at UH Main Campus. I hopefully go home tomorrow.

I will be out of commission for 2-3 weeks.

If i didnt realize with Jim's email on Saturday, Walts passing hit me ...

Here's a video of my Day 0 Test pass, and all my regular passes from Drag Week. I'll post a seperate video of the bracket race.

I was doing all my updates on facebook.

I qualified 4th. We went into the final day in 5th, but i was able to improve one spot.

I beat a 66 Chevelle the first round dialed at 10.20. I treed him, drove around and hit the brakes before/thru the traps.

2nd round i raced a 74 GTO, same kind of race ...
