First, a cuda was not ment to be a convertible.

Second, the serpentine conversion has been completed. It only took a lathe, mill and five hours to alter the pulleys.

However, with an under drive system, I seem to have some sort of heat problem. It took forever to get warm ( something I didn't expect ) and the alternator pully is a bit bigger, thus delivering only 12.8 V at idle. I might have to bump the idle to get voltage.

I seem to have developed a lifter slap. I suppose I'll have to adjust them again. Roller rockers, they only stay adjusted for a short time.

So, the new tach is a no-go. It looks huge and blocks too many other things. I suppose I'll be doing a major cleanup and wipe down. The car is filthy, even after being stored under the cover.

That's the latest.

Ron, you should get a boat. Your entire neighborhood is going to look like Venice, buildings surrounded by water.
