Well I got the fuel cell in and Secured down. The Trunk floor is much more solid now with the box below the fuel cell. I am waiting to get a few more small adapters to connect all the Fuel lines up to the pump. I also Put on the spring clamps today as well. Fuel Cell Inside  Fuel cell below / Box enclosure.  Spring clamp  Greg |

Well I stared to Wire A bit of the engine compartment for some of The electricial componet upgrades. I figured I would do this now While I have time With the Old Engine / Trans in place instead of waiting until I get the Engine / trans Done. Suff I have done since Last Update: Catch Can ala 77 volare style.  Elect Fan Money Shot  Fan 2  Electrical Command Center  Pro Matic 2 Shifter installed with Momentary Switch for Line Lock  Shifter Shot 2  Maybe I can hit the Track next week for a baseline  as the car can drive on it's own now.Greg |

| Post subject: | 8-3-09 Most Wiring is done |
Update: I Got the Tach and other Gauges installed. Everything is prettymuch Wired up except for the Electric Water Pump drive Which I will Get To after the Engine Build. The Electronic Ign Dist Is On with A faster Advance Curve and Better Wires. Along with this is the MSD Box. I also Put a solid motor mount on the Drivers Side But Forgot to get A pic.. If you have seen steel before then You get the idea Upgraded Ign:  Removed Heater Nipple and Used the Port for the mechanical Temp Gauge  Tach Installed and Communicating With the MSD box  Gauge Cluster

Yep So I ran the car at TNT last night. I will post a pic of the car with the race wheels and tires; which are waay lighter than the old steelies. Anyway, Here are The Passes on a 1968 Bone Stock Motor / Trans with hundreds of thousands of miles on it. Run 1 - In "D" 60' - 2.53 1/8 - 12.10 @ 54.23 1/4 - 19.54 @ 64.67 Run 2 - Removed Air cleaner - Shifted 2-3 Manually 60' - 2.50 1/8 - 11.96 @ 55.38 1/4 - 19.23 @ 66.52 Run 3 60' - 2.53 1/8 - 11.97 @ 55.96 1/4 - 19.13 @ 67.56 Run 4 60' - 2.50 1/8 - 11.98 @ 54.86 1/4 - 19.25 @ 66.55 It Sure Seemed like Everything was in slow motion Compared to running the dart.

| Post subject: | Thanksgiving Engine Thrash Update 11-29-09 |
Hello Everyone, It's been a bit of time, but absolutely nothing has happened to the Ruster Racer since the last post - Marching band and football have taken over my life until this thanksgiving break. Beside spending time with friends and family, I am giving thanks to the slant six engine block, Gathering up some robust speed parts and Making sone necessary Block mods! Well I did a basic Clean and inspect of the block Tapping all threaded holes And Lots of studying of Doc's playing with blocks and Oiling system prep articles. This block Came from a 64 Truck So it's yellow. I have had it in the basement for years and The Cylinders are so badly pitted I figured it would be a perfect canidate for the .104" overbore. It had sat in the dirt for years and The head was sceapped a long time ago due to the valves being frozen in it. I Got Me a Long 5/16 Drill fron the Crank and Main feeds - Also Lots of oil pump Gallery Passage smoothing. Pistons are assembled on rods with pin locks and rings - These will get sent to the machine shop to get balanced and then Ring fitment time when the block comes back. Also the Head is shown Grinded, tanked and ready to go to Mike Jeffries To work The Nebraska Magic. (many Pics to Follow) long Post. Greg
