Default Re: Mayhems 71 Nova

I guess I didn't catch the "capacitive discharge" reference before. Yes it is working great. I am very close to being confident enough to run it down the track a few times. But this likely won't occur until Spring.
It may still need an electric fuel pump. It was falling on its face at the top of 2nd gear, but that seems to have resolved with the new carb and plug gap change.
I think the adjustable MSD timing control, and a new set of tires will be the final tweak. But since it's Winter, I will likely pull the trans and check things, replace the U-joints, etc. Safety check mostly.
But overall, right now I am very happy with it, and almost positive it would carry the front wheels all of 1st gear on the track.
