Re: 1979 Malibu
I took Maliboost out for my first trip of the season to Thompson. First trip. In July.
I drove it there, no issues. I made my first pass of the season, a respectable 10.18 @ 133 in the heat. I bumped the rev limiter in 1st, probably should've gone a touch quicker. But the big problem came when it ...

Re: KMP Wednesday Night Grudge Racing
Tough night for me at the track tonight.. I got there and made 1 pretty good pass. I got my timeslip, found a parking spot in the pits, and my car wouldnt restart after that. It would crank/fire/die. I had to throw in the towel and called Mason & Healy for a tow home.
Drove it there, no issues ...

Chester Car Show, 7-12-2025
The annual Chester Car Show at the church on 306 is Sat July 12. I'm planning on going and my cousin asked if he could drive the '63 there. A few pics from last year.

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
I missed the shifter conversation. My 90Vette has a short-throw shifter with a large-ish ball shifter. Sometimes I'm not sure if I like the short-throw, or maybe because my trans can be a little finicky, esp going into 3rd. Your shift handle looks a lot taller than mine.

Re: 1991 Jaguar XJ-S
This assembly was engineered for functionality with almost zero consideration for assembly and disassembly.
The issue with these mounts is that they fail under tension which only happens on a lift. It can be quite catastrophic, but knowing the design flaws of your car allows you to work around ...

Re: Chevelle Projects 2024
I've been driving the wheels off this thing lately, and I'm loving it! I made some tuning changes with the idle timing and accel-enrich that effect the tip-in and it has made a noticeable difference to me. It used to be hard to leave a stop smoothly, and whaddyaknow, taking away some timing there ...

Re: 2019 Mustang GT
Well, its June and time for annual Mustang Mainteneance
67,122 miles -- changed oil/filter with Mobil 1 5w20 and a Motorcraft FL-500S. Oil life was at 3% since the last change at 59k. I replaced the air filter too, but it was surprisingly clean, having been in there since 2023.

Re: C6 Corvette
That looks really good Mark, congrats on the purchase. Will we eventually see it at Thompson??
I think my motorcycle riding days are about over too.

Re: 1963 Corvette
Personally, I'd go every year. It's a way to keep part of your dad's memory.....current. Admittedly, that's simply my opinion.
Too bad about the rain.....but the '63 looks great in that photo. Jan and Paul would both approve. :)
Is that photo 322 heading East at 528?
I'll probably keep going to ...

Re: 1963 Corvette
Well, I really dragged this one out, but we got'r'done. But not without more problems to solve.
The lesson I've learned here is if you're going for a stock look, go STOCK. By going to the '63 intake, I'm on a small bolt pattern for the carb. I can't bolt on a square bore Holley (like Tony's 670 ...

Re: Chevelle Projects 2024
Since I really got nothing on the list done on the car last year, I'm just going to continue on this thread for now.
Not even on the list, I've had a hard-start issue on the first start of the day for a while. Subsequent starts would always be easier, but it turned out I had another crank sensor ...
