Been a couple of years since posting about this "Beater"....... The car has been absolutely trouble free except for a Alternator going bad..... 38,000 miles of great driving across the country in various Road Tours...... So, yesterday I went out to the Drag strip to watch friends race and at the last minute I decided to just run it down the track..... Had the trunk loaded and just left everything in and ran it down the track....... 12.53 @ 114 mph with a 2.1 second 60' time....... LOL.... These engines are crazy...... and I get 23 MPG on the highway.....Awsum for a street car

When I put the Edelbrock Supercharger on the engine the drive belt set-up was a single belt design........so.....all of the force required to turn the supercharger was in the belt wrap around the water pump pulley.....Didn't realize that was the weak link till it broke...... Found out after that, that Edelbrock realized they had a problem and built a water pump assy that was designed to absorb all that stress.......Lesson learned....All fixed with new parts now..
