ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!
Well, I spent part of the weekend working but I did get some time to work on the car. I got the engine in and all plumbed up. Lot's of obstacles, busted parts, and fabrication - all successfully overcome. UNTIL I added the coolant. THE BRAND NEW EDELBROCK WATER PUMP IS BUSTED. Coolant was coming out of the bearing weep hole just as fast as I could put it in.
I gave up hopes of being at the track with you guys last night when I discovered the leak. I hope this turns out to be a great anual event for TCC.
I'm going out of town on business tomorrow morning and wont be back until Friday after midnight. At this point, it would take a miracle to get me to the event on Saturday.
John, don't worry about the money. I knew it was a risk when I signed up.
