Driveshaft is ordered!!

I placed my order for a Denny's Nitrous Ready Driveshaft today. He said that it is about a 3 1/2 week wait, but he has about 3 or 4 others of the same configuration to make and will do them all at the same time. So I might get it earlier.

In the meantime, I will be able to finish other little projects I have for the car. Mainly getting the darned headlights to work on their own again.

Bottle is installed, nozzle is mounted. The only thing left is plumbing up the fuel solenoid and the wiring. I will start working on the fuel plumbing tonight. The bottle is full and mounted in the car now.

Q,

Did you get the Earl's speed bleeders? They make it very simple for bleeding the brakes. Also the Thunderracing lines make it very easy.

I could possibly cruise up there this weekend and give you a hand if you need it.

I measured 43 15/16 between transmission housing and rearend yoke and they will calculate the desired length based on that.

Dont have the speed bleeders, but I have a one man bleeder that works great. All the lines are Earls, and I have the flare tool. The Lineloc isnt the problem. It is the wiring of the 3 step up to all the crap I need to wire it up to. If you do get out, give me a beep. That would rock.

You keep telling me that....but I still dont agree. Give me a wrench anyday and I am happy. Wiring and I never get along. I wish we did, cuz wiring can do some Suhweet things....such as this 3 step is gonna do

Actually I might be at Super Chevy that day. Wanna meet me there? We can label the wires and I will run them when I get home. My buddy is coming down from Traverse City with his 79 Z/28 to see the show and maybe race. If he races, you know I am gonna have to as well. So I will make sure to bring the stuff, and if you show up great...if not I will try and muck my way through it

I have already labelled the wires for the 3 step when I sold it to you, so you're all set there. The line lock is a single wire from your switch to the solenoid.

What else are you wiring?

If they were labeled someone pulled them off. Its when you start talking about wiring to the brake and stuff then you lose me.
