Whole wheat or rye?

Wheat.....of course! Especially at my age.

I’m a little late on any updates with the Chevelle but better late than never.

I took it down to the NOCC show in August. Went to Dragway 42. Made one pass with the new ignition and clutch. It ran 12.4x. Not bad for a new setup but the clutch hit really hard when I launched. It actually scared the crap out of me. After about two hours, we finally got to make another pass. When I launched it, something broke, so I slammed on the breaks. We pushed it outfield the way and determined that something in the rear end broke.

Once I got it home and pulled the cover, I broke the spider gears and spring plates. I took it to a guy in Hebron Illinois, his name is Bob Kelso. Lots of knowledge at his shop.....he rebuilt it and added a vintage Geis aluminum rear end cover (Geis Girdle).

I’ve driven it a little since then and actually went on a 230 mile trip and it ran great.

Now I’m getting it ready for MCACN to be in the Post Sedan Invitational Display.
