1973 Dart Sport
Got everything buttoned back up and it seems the leaks have stopped. The engine seems a lot happier too so hopefully I don't have to tear the intake off for a while now. I hooked up a Flex-a-lite probe style fan controller so the radiator fan is no longer on all the time and installed a three point harness using the package with a plate underneath it for reinforcement. Think I tracked down my front turn signal issues too. It seems they're not getting power unless the headlight switch is on parking lights. I'll need to splice the front running light wires into the rear ones to get it to behave like it should.
Got some big things coming in the mail this week. Pulled the trigger on a Holley Sniper EFI throttle body and RobbMC Powersurge to supply it. That should be the end of any sort of fuel issues and the best part is I no longer need to track down someone else to tune my car. I also have a QA1 K-member on the way to hopefully fix the alignment issues I'm having. Already bought the biscuit style brackets and a set of solid mounts, just waiting on the K-memeber. I was really dreading sending the car off to get aligned. It just doesn't sit well with me having someone else work on this thing so I picked up some toe plates and a camber gauge to do it myself. Should be fun.
Race season is almost here, it's crunch time. Still need to log some miles on the engine. The odometer is still only sitting at 185 but we've had a pretty brutal winter here in VA. I'd like to see 500 before I really start getting in it.
