Re: Timing Lights

You can borrow mine if you need to. I have 3 and they all read the same on my car. I use a paint marker to make a big white stripe on the balancer. Otherwise the numbers blur when you try to read it. This is all you need.

Re: Hard to Believe....

The Chevelle is a back half, ladder bar car. All steel except for hood and bumpers at 3200 lbs. It has all the original glass except the 1/4 windows because they wouldn't clear the wheel tubs.

Re: What's the most nerve racking

Backhalved it. There was nothing but a giant hole behind the seats. After it was all cut out, you couldn't just bolt it back in.

Re: Hard to Believe....

Hi guys, the person in need of help is me. I just joined on Friday. I've been a bracket racer for almost 25 years, and just enjoy the mechanical aspect of racing. The Chevelle is a big block car and the Nova is a little small block street car.
