Sweet. Yeah I have been wanting to learn how to tweak my setup. Adjust A/F, timing and such at the track especially when the weather gets cooler here.

You want to put together a set of instructions? haha

The injectors are firing, and I verified it with a brand new noid light kit I bought today. Turns out the noid light we were using was apparently broken.

I got the console in today, and the new hurst shifter with the transbrake button along with the ws6strore auto shift adapter. looks menacing.

Washed the car off only to be reminded of how bad the paint was done on these cars back in the day in St. Therese. owell....soon......that will be adressed.

All that is left is to

A. hook up the lines to the y block.
B. hook up the return line to the reg.
C. Pour some PS fluid in
D. Pour in some water in the Radiator and clamp the hoses.
E. Fill the tank & Prime
F. Put on the drive belt.
G. Turn the key


I will do it tomorrow weather permitting. Stay tuned.

P.S. I will probably hook the blower belt up just for ***** and giggles after the first immediate oil change to lube the seal and show my buddy how much louder they are vs a local JT trim car.

I've heard a couple of F1-R head units in person. They sound like a jet engine at idle. I'd imagine it's somewhere between a D1-SC and an F1-R.

My F1-A is not that loud at all. The blower wine isn't, but it sure does throw a ton air out of the bypass valve. I hear it most when cruisin down the road. Sounds pretty wicked. I think the D1 has a louder whine than the F1-A. The C and R are totally different animals!

You are finishing up just in time for nice weather. It was in the 50s a couple of weeks ago at Steele.

Have him list the correct belt length, as well as the blower and crank pulley size so we can keep the table on Bob's page up to date for Aster bracket users.
