    Right on, Ray!!!!! Glad you got it running. Sounds like your cam is close to the one I have in my Comet (I was looking at your tag). How are you coming on the rear window weather strip? Don't forget I have the radio bezel & rear package tray waiting for you when you come down in a couple of weeks. WooHoo!!...More parts......Bet your excited about your maiden run at the track.

    Hey, Ray.....Right on! Let me know how it goes. Do you know anyone with a posi 8" pumpkin (center section) with 3.55 or 3.70 gears? I'm looking for a posi. I already have 3.55 gears, just not a posi or locker. You got me fired up for the upcoming Mini Meet. So, this is what I did today......Street sign! LOL What do you think? Will it work?

    Those are getting pretty hard to come by Coop.
    I was talking to the guy I got my extra gears from today and he said he has found a lot of the posi units in pinto wagons. Check your local boneyard. I heard some guy just sent a few comets over there. :)

    Well Cliff I think my car has 11 second potential, but I don't expect to run any quicker than 13's or so my first time out. No slicks + never made a pass before= slow.

    Mostly I'm just trying to track down a set of slicks. As far as spares, the car is a fully functional unit, so I'll be fine untill I break something at the track.
    That reminds me. if the planets do fall into line and I end up in the 12's or 11's are they going to boot me for running stock seat belts? I know 11's require a roll bar, but are five points required for 12's? It's an NHRA track. Anyone have this years rulebook?

    My book is a few years old...but it says stock belts are fine until you run 11.99 or quicker. I'm running low 12's with my stock belt and never had any trouble from anyone...
