You might look in the McMaster Carr catalog they have several non contact tach set ups.

Not much matters and the rest doesn't matter at all.

We worked on our spill plates today. We had some braces to make, drill, and bend to work correctly. The first photo shows that we have the spill plate close to 90 degrees and that we needed to cut the top down a little. It measured a bit over 8 inches.  Now the spill plates painted and ready to put on tomorrow, plus we need to make a new push bar for the car.  |

We fixed a few gremlins today and fired her up. Seems like something isn't going quite right, we are ahead of the game. The car started really easily and after we warmed it up we adjusted the valves and buttoned her up. Only a couple things to do before the May meet, and we should have it loaded the weekend before.  I took a video of the warm up, because I'm nutty like that. I will post in a couple of days.  |

John, Troy, what kind of primer did you apply on the aluminum spoiler pieces before painting? I'm thinking about painting my spoiler also.

We had our share of problems at Bonneville and El Mirage this year. One problem was that our right side plexi glass light cover flew off at speed week. We temporarily fixed it and ran the rest of the week and El Mirage with it. So now we have time to do some cosmetic work on the car. We took the old light cover off and some old El Mirage dust was hiding behind them. I cleaned it before the picture.  Our aluminum pieces fit nicely.  Now complete with paint. Just need to fill around the covers with black silicone.  |
