Well some may remember from school years past (hence no updates in summer time) our y-block powered T. School has started and we are back to work on it. Have gotten the reverse corvair box mounted and built a steering shaft. The wheels turn! The box needs some adjustment but that is to be expected. Fuel tank and battery are mounted in the trunk, needs some tweaking due to some poor planning on my part. We dont have a floor in the trunk so I am not too concerned with fumes/sparks?? I think the exciting news is that we have the ignition switch and light switch wired in...we have had the engine running on the stand before but to see it running sitting in the chassis is a whole new level of cool! Found an old Mallory Rev-Pol Mark II that we installed (thought it looked kinda period correct), we used a ballast resistor, I imagine it is supposed to have one??

Our starter is making a horrible racket, sounds like the pinion gear is not dis-engaging, havent had a chance yet to get under and look at pinion gear, ring gear, etc. but I am assuming we will probably rebuild the starter anyhow...what is a good source for parts?

Next step will be wiring in the gen/reg. I think I have a good idea where everything goes but am going do alittle research to be sure.

We have a local car show this weekend that I cant attend due to other commitments but just had a couple students ask if they could load it up and bring it in to the show, that is pretty exciting!

Please feel free to ask any questions or comments about the project, if you havent seen it yet I think you could probably search my name here and find some old posts, thanks!
