    5.9 stroker build

    Perfect light but no bye into next round!

    I would have asked for the rule book and/or written track/divisional rules where this application applied. Been around long enough that track faves get benefits, everyone else loses. Total BS IMO, the bye vanishes when he hits the beams to pair off in first round.

    Chasing a parasitic drain on the ammeter circuit

    IMO, it narrows down the area the issue may reside. Check the black and red charge line bulkheads too. If they are melted you could get crossover to other circuits int he housing.

    Chasing a parasitic drain on the ammeter circuit

    If the radio is electronic, it likely has a secondary power wire to maintain presets. Disconnect the connector at light switch.

    Chasing a parasitic drain on the ammeter circuit

    Something in the cabin is likely drawing, radio/clock etc. Pull fuses until you find it. It could be something that is hard wired as well, light switch...

    Getting Dad his <12.99

    A blanket won't likely contain the mess if the drum goes. There are a lot of pictures of cars messed up that had blankets that didn't exactly work great. If it broke in first and the engine revved, take the trans out and inspect it. PERIOD Nice car that I wouldn't risk the alternative...

    400hp Pump Gas Roller 340 Strip/Street Build

    You could probably hit 400 with a [email protected] roller cam with 520ish lift with much problem. Likely a bunch more than 400 with a cam that small.
