Ebay GT45 + 5.9 Magnum + E85 blow thru
Reset my distributor from scratch, made sure the timing and rotor phase were all lined up. Unrelated but I also swapped out my steering box for one of the new PST 16:1 manual boxes. It's tight, but a lot better...upper body workout.
This was one of a few light street blasts from 2nd through 3rd with the exhaust dumps open. Methanol injection is coming on and air temps are in more reasonable ranges. I think what happened in that last pass I made at the track was that; 1.) the engine was heat soaked after driving in traffic for an hour and almost immediately making a pass and 2.) I think the loose distributor got shook so much it might have advanced 5 or more degrees (gasp!). I also found three of the distributor cap towers extremely corroded (S. Florida humidity gets in everywhere). Anyway, cleaned everything up, motor feels good, nothing seems broken and I'm ready for another TnT at 12psi.
