Notes: trying new front spindles modifying upper control arm bolt-in location, to help with roll steer. Set camber\/caster and measured bump steer, best was with outer tie rod mounted to the top of the spindle arm which was modified to ‘drop’ the bolt hole down. Rack also has solid offset bushings raising rack up. Added rack extenders to inner tierods.<\/p>\n

Changed engine over night at Joe Camire’s place with help form Jim Schenck, junkyard shortblock had massive blowby spewing oil out of the catch can. Forgot to tighten oilpan bolts on pass side, leaked a lot. Pass side valve cover was leaking oil, along with the 90deg oil filter fitting oring. Finished Nats race in P2.<\/p>\n
