BLOWER

[Deaf Bob]

Ok I tried the old fashione way, guess I'm stuck in the past! Check your phone!

Lol.. His phone is for phoning, nothing else.. Not even a picture! . Lol

[pdub]

Great to talk with ya Perry!

Over here, it's one step forward and five steps back. Will somebody please come put this blower on for us? We're gonna miss a race in the spring at this rate.

Dang it I've been called out! Now back to installing blowers!

I won't forget that snide remark Bob. But I won't remember it, either. I strongly resemble that remark. Wait, we've gotta put a blower on. Who's got the flashlight? We're gonna need it to see what we f-upped next.

What's wrong with Weeville Racing?

Unit quickly rejected "punit Performance." She said Perry might run away from that, we'd lose our only sponsor.

I sort of favor Ass Last Fast Fabricators but that doesn't have much of a ring to it and would take up too much room on the sticker.

Change it around a tad.....Last Ass Fast Fabricators....then abbreviate it for the sticker: LAFF.

The LAFF Team made some decent progress today. We got the blower on there, hopefully for the last time. We almost nearly got the belt run completed, neither of us is strong enough to snap that belt over the supercharger pulley. We took turns pushing on the tensioner, to no avail.

We got all of the new fuel injectors installed on the rails. Spilled gas everywhere, the garage suitably stinks. Started to resolve the first plumbing item, it's close, we quit for the day, ran out of hand strength.

And I'm starting to wonder, where does THIS go?

OH NO, YOU FORGOT TO PUT THAT PART IN?!!!! RUNPDUBRUNFASTERITSGONNABLOW

any empty holes in the mounting plate for the blower? usually those kind of bolts are for holding mounts in place.... also usually they're utterly worthless and a waste of time to install because they don't have the strength to hold much of anything.

It might, but it'll be something else I've done or not done, I'll bet.

That bolt looks long enough the secure the gas tank firmly to the cylinder head, so I guess I'll find out going down the road somewhere and when Red's back half falls off and it starts sliding on the pavement, the motor will probably quit because there goes the gas tank. The sparks will ignite all of the spilled fuel and we'll be on TV. Other than that, I'm not too concerned about it, given the nature of the foul directions that came with this kit. Bad, just bad. Just totally not even in sequence.

it's pandemic. I called Howell EFI to find out how much base-advance the computer was programmed to look for. Their response "our programmer is gone until December 27 and we can't answer your question." The guy who said that? the owner. So basically if their programmer finds another job Howells might as well close up since not even the owner knows how to get onto a computer to look up basic data.... and we're not even going to the "how is it you designed this but don't know?" question....

any empty holes in the mounting plate for the blower? .

That plate is like Swiss cheese after a hand grenade attack. Yep, there's holes alright. All over it, with arrows pointing to which ones you need to use for which application and those directions will be great fire starter. After I rubbed oil and grease all over them already especially.

SUXBUX Racing????

SUXBUX Racing????

I like it, but Unit rejected it. We think Weeville Racing if it has to have a name at all. We're not even racing after all, we're just trying to stay out of the way on the track most of the time.

But in that slant of things, there was a ride we saw at Maxton, maybe at Ohio too, a long thing, like top fuel but not quite. The intake manifold had an arrow on it, "Money In," and by the exhaust it had another arrow, "Money Out."

When we go back to Daytona next year....not IF but WHEN, I'm gonna pass some of those guys with Red's blower happening. I'm gonna surprise a few folks, that ugly old worn out Mustang, we're gonna pass some shiny stuff, and we're gonna hurt somebody's ego doing it. And I'm gonna laugh and it's gonna be fun. More bolts. More hoses to go, but we'll getter done. I swear we will, it's a mission.

Trying to make some more blower progress....

It may be a bit out of place, to do this on Christmas Day, but I'm going to state and declare my biggest prejudice as far as the current world as I see it. I'll go ahead and say it, just to get it off of my chest.

I hate hose clamps, all of them, different shapes and sizes. I hate them.

Like everybody else and everything else in the world, hose clamps have a very valuable job to do. Can't do without them. I'll give them that much. But why do they have to be such extraordinary assholes in getting them to do their job? Hose clamps are benign, no trouble at all until you get them anywhere near a hose, and then they light up with attitude and in-your-face insulting behavior. Hose clamps suck. Just sayin.
