Hello everyone, sorry I couldn't join in much in the past few weeks, busy times for me. The Fairlane is starting to come back together (If you can call it that
.) I was over to work on it over the weekend, the body man was there, and I showed him the car. All he could say was "Oh my Gawd."
Uh Oh...
Finally, FINALLY got the darned Ether lovin Cat done today, after it had a little incident with a 3rd Year (He grabbed the throttle when I had my back turned, reved her to WOT, then let the throttle go.) This, of Course, jammed the fuel rack in the pump. That created 2 1/2 weeks of unneeded work, ARG!
Anyways, we got it started today, and the new old timing advance was (is) bad, so when it started, it sounded like "pop...pop..pop.poppopopopopopopopopopopo POP popopopopopop" or something like that. Created a heck of a lot of white smoke (I could barely see my hand in front of my face!) Finally did get her runnin fairly good, and thats when I took the video. I was liberally working the throttle, and when I got her up to WOT Towards the end, the guy in front of the door said the
Oil pressure gauge was pegged (It goes up to 100 PSI.) The popping and puff of white smoke is the sign of the bad timing advance. Ill post the shorter one tomorrow sometime... my buddy was running the throttle during that one.
