Track rental
John' I went to the track rental Friday at Lebanon it was 75 and sunny when we arrived at 9:30. We left at 2;00 and it had not rained yet but was expected. I took my Lemans and ran 12.89 with closed exhaust and MT drag radials. You could run non stop after 12:00 with no problem if you wanted to, the lanes were very short. Maybe next year we'll see you at a rental.

John, the Lemans always ran low 13.0? I upped the timing to 32 the rest stayed the same. The 60' was 1.74 and that was the best ever, usually 1.78-79. the 102.7 mph was also the fastest. I trailered the car as I always do, 4:10 REAR WITH 28" Drag Radials.

I don't think it's carburetor. My Dominator has # 88 jets and I put the power valves back in. Timing is at 14 and 33. I grounded the MSD box to the head (instead of the firewall). By grounding it this way it did make an improvement. The car starts easier and seems to have a smooth 900-3,000 rpm band. Since this car was a complete rotisserie/full restoration... I think I need to chase all the grounds. Most things where painted - but I did sand clean spots for grounding. I think I need to re-look at what I'm grounding to. Another thought is swap out each electrical part one at a time to see if there is a cracked distributor cap, back spark plug wire, etc. The engine just runs rough / missing... I'm frustrated to say the least. On the positive side - I learned a lot Sunday and learning my car. The car is pretty mellow doing a 1.56 at the 60 and hitting 120 mph thru the traps. Very straight and smooth. I ran my 28x12.5s MT ET Streets at 14 psi. I haven’t put on my Cal Traks yet either. My shocks are just some old worn out shocks I found! Once I can get this engine stumbling issue resolved I'm looking for 10s.

I was there on Saturday. When I arrived it was cloudy, then the sun came out. They were drying the track when I got there at 8:30am. It had poured the night before. I think they started to run at 10:30am.
However, water kept seeping through the track. They kept trying to dry it up. Every once in a while a car would get out of shape. Then at about 2pm, it started to drizzle. I put the car back in the trailer. I wasn't about to risk any damage. They did give me a full raincheck, $30. Good until 10/08. But I won't be going back. Island and Etown are much closer. Atco is just as far as Lebanon for me. I would choose Atco in a heartbeat.

BK: do you have a blower on your PDude 455? and if you do did you or someone else installed it for you? Just asking becasue it sounds like you are in my neck of the woods and I am planning (when I have some more $) to install one of PDude's blowers next year.

 I will give you a hand in installing yours because it will make my install go easier.  If everything goes well, I may have one in the spring. College and teaching has to be my focus for now. But let me know and I'd be happy to wrench with you.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
