Re: More Chevelle updates
Got a little more seat time with the new clutch today, getting better acclimated to it. Everything seems to be functioning OK.
Going to Kil-Kare tomorrow to try this again.

Re: More Chevelle updates
Eric, I hope someone has told you to never slip clutches that have solid metallic pucks on them. It's a recipe for sure death to the clutch. Had a friend that started using that style clutch back in 1968 or so and it was a learning experience. The local clutch builder said it would hold all the power we could put to it. He neglected to warn about trying to drive it like an everyday street car. We finally learned from a truck driver that was experienced with that type of friction material, that the clutch was meant to be either fully engaged or fully disengaged. After we found that out, clutches lasted nearly the full season.

Re: More Chevelle updates
I've also heard this but wanted to hold comment as maybe something newer has come along -- this setup can be a real pain in the south end on a street machine ... TAZ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

Re: More Chevelle updates
I think it'll be all right for the time being. I did have to adjust my driving style a little and utilize more of a quick slip just off-idle in 1st, but now there's minimal chatter on take-off.
Reverse is another story however...oof... No worse than having to move a "race car" around in the pits/lanes, but definitely not ideal for the street. Let's just pray nothing else breaks or otherwise goes awry this time and I can finally get some clean passes on the car. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]
