Here and there this week, I have been fiddling with the TA. I got on top of the cold start transition issue with the carb, as well as solving (I think) the engine run on.

I also had a chance to get it on the hoist and look around. Once I get cleaning on this car, I really think it is going to respond well. Here is what I found..........

Remaining evidence from when the car was raced and flat towed. The tail light harness plug the Wayne made and wired in as well as the remaining welds from the tow bar mounts.





Wayne had a Liberty transmission in the car (hence why the original case survived) and obviously a big shifter.





Here are a bunch in the engine compartment as well as under the car. I'll update as I progress with cleaning......

This thread has been largely dormant since 2021. It was in 2022 that Bob Krug bought the car from me. Bob always told me he would sell the car back to me when he was done with it. Sadly (as many of you know) Bob passed earlier this year. I've been busy in my shop with some other Corvette projects, so the TA has been patiently waiting for some quality time.

Since getting the car back, I've changed out all of the fluids once again. I also took the liberty of having a license plate made to replicate Wayne's original plate. The only thing left on my short list for the car, was to change out the throw out bearing. I was a bit noisier than I cared for. I got that job finished up yesterday afternoon, shot a few pics this morning, and felt it was time to update this thread. The car is now showing 20,369 miles




I also saved the last oil filter Bob installed on the TA. He was a tremendous caretaker for this car and got the car to another level yet. Bob passed far too soon. R.I.P Bob
