for the record... we didn't mess with the timing. It has 18* initial then I think 20* mechanical.... at this point it's not knocking and the motor is still 'new' .... safe tune get some more miles under it and maybe I'll revisit the timing.... I have my eye on the coil per cylinder conversion.....
dyno confirmed I was 39* total.

humph. I went to PIR, they have noise limits.... 97 db noise limits. if you've been following along, you'll know that my noise at full song is 111 db. I didn't find out before I went but I'm so glad I did because I spent time with my parents - something that's been hard to do since I saw them a year ago....
but I have a problem to fix. Thinking a corkscrew with some steel wool as the first shot. I'm also not against injecting water to muffle the sound... I really need to be below 105 - from there it's arguable....

I thought at one time they made inserts for sidepipes - like a glasspack cartridge.

Might there be the option of using chambered pipes? I don't have a big block, but there's no problem with flow and they bark very well without breaking my eardrums... Stainless is stupid expensive, but mild is a better swallow for the wallet.Last edited by 99_ls1; April 19, 2021, 05:56 PM.Livin the dream

Have you considered just going to Toutle, Wa. Riverdale Raceway? No noise restrictions, and they have racing every weekend, but no problem with guys bringing cars in just to do test and tune also.

Back to lights
first, adjust the rods so that closed is the furthest point.
I need to make a stop but that's tomorrow
today, wiring. I'm putting the switch under the steering column. The stock C3 has vacuum controls for the headlight doors here - I don't need them, and I need a way of mounting the under part.... win win
and painted black (and drying)
to be continued tomorrow....Doing it all wrong since 1966

Now I'm official
the right switch
light lever
on my list of things to do is power port
mods
first, block off the ash tray
two holes
wire harness
now harness with switch
even a phone holder
I had to do one fix, I didn't realize my only USB port had voltage display... so one switch later
two switches and a plug... there would be video of the lights but Youtube is not playing nice tonight (actually, I think it's a cord problem)
