Re: Think It Will Be Ready For Texas ? W/Pics.

Thanks, Dave. Thanks, Terry.

Terry: This is my first major encounter with a Gen II LT1. I struggled with a couple of things today, and I'm still not sure how to re-set the opti spark's timing if something gets turned, because the 92 opti has a spline drive with no index. I'm not going to turn anything. Anyway, I thought of you while I was in the "might mess something up here because I don't know what I'm doing" mode. My thought was, "Gee I wonder if Terry still has that engine I sold him? Parts off it could be useful if I break something...". It's probably still in Gary's shop. But a little far away.

Cheers. Thanks for the encouragement.

Yes, I still have that engine, but it has moved down the street to a storage locker. I had to get a part off of it, but just one part. The oil cooler adapter.

I am not familiar with the spline drive opti. All mine have been the last design, pin drive. Maybe in Frisco we will find the time to talk about all the optispark designs, and the modifications there of. I am curious how the vacuum modifications would judge, but we can talk about that in Frisco.

We're counting on you, Dave. You're all registered and set up on the Convention floor.

Wow, that’s a project. All things being equal, I know you will have the car on the judging field in Frisco. Looking forward to seeing you, and of course the 92.

Wow. If this is how you clean a car, your restorations must be awesome. I look forward to seeing you in Frisco.

That’s amazing progress. I agree with Terry. Great idea using Vaseline.
