An update is needed!!
In April, we left Sacramento, south bound on I-5, headed to San Luis Obispo. The new 1883 engine had less than 5 miles on it and the car had not been driven on the freeway since the complete rebuild. Dan (Bleucamaro) rode shotgun with a laptop in his lap, tuning the fuel maps and ignition curves as I drove. The car performed great, but final tuning on the EFI will need to be done on a chassis dyno. Look closely in one of the photos, you may be able to see us at 110 on I-5. Now thats the way to break in a new car. (Oh, wait... that's 110 KPH!) FYI, the steering wheel is an original Les Leston that was given to me in 1971. I finally found a proper home for it. We machined the center of the wheel on the Bridgeport to fit a Nardi hub. OK Dan, it's your turn! |
