I enjoy the extra long season we have down here in the south and now it's time to pull the drag car in the shop and take care of a few things.
Not including normal maintenance, here is my list for this winter:
1. Send converter off to be freshened. It's been 7 years :eek:
2. Have the transmission gone through.
3. Take care of small nagging leak from oil pan on motor. I forgot to put rtv in the corners when I put it together. It puts a small spot of oil on the floor of the trailer after a week of sitting. I'll pull a main and rod cap or two while I have the pan off and see how it the bearings look.
4. Helicoil the one header bolt hole that is stripped.
5. Install new upper control arms/ball joints.
6. Install new digital shift light.
7. Considering using the 2 step in my ignition box. Maybe wire it to the brake pedal switch. I'm a footbraker.
8. Bleed the brakes.
9. Consider having another bung welded onto the radiator for a temperature gauge. The one for the EFI only displays when the unit is on. I'd like to see the water temp when it's cooling in the pits.
What will you be working on??
