... I will not pull at my home town pull this year either.:mad:
Not even sure if I will make Schieds now. ...

That sucks. I am not pulling at your home-town pull either this year, but I was going to make the run over there to watch you.....guess I get to hit the honey-do list instead....:(

If you don't make Schieds, maybe you could sweet talk Gene into an invitation to the Indy Jamboree in mid-Sept. Fingers and I are thinking about going to that instead of Schieds....

You'll be terrorizing the pulling track in no time! I'm looking forward to seeing some videos of it dragging the sled with all the recent upgrades.

On my double I just reused the stock bolts. Torqued to 125ftlbs. But it was not a SBC. My triple came with new bolts.

No Scheids for me!

Well my clutch slave cylinder just exploded!:banghead:
I already have the trans back out. I have another slave cylinder here but I am tired of F'ing with it. I need to tear the entire clutch off and clean everything and then put it back together.:eek:

Good news is my stack finally got here and it looks sweet!:)

Pedal pushed easy. I was holding the clutch in and heard the splat!:rofl: Got out and there was fluid leaking out of the bellhousing. :banghead:

I just took a break from it and now heading back into the garage.:)
