Re: Finally got it together again



My goal has been to get as much performance out of LeRoar as I could. I feel I have reached that goal and my finances won't allow me to go any farther now. So my new goal is to see how much economy and pleasure I can achieve.  Just exploring other facets of the hobby.  I gotta get doing some body work too.  This car has never been touched except for repairs to an obvious accident to the right front before I ever bought it.  All original interior too.  About 88K miles on it. I have concentrated on the engine and drivetrain totally. I did a manual front disc brake swap and I can see I desperately need to swap it over to power brakes. Or cut a hole in the floor so I can drag my feet!

Oh yeah, we started the New Year with about 1" of snow.  LeRoar won't be going out till that's gone.  Also the cooling system needs to be tamed down. It runs way to cold now. I will put in a 190deg standard duty t-stat and remove the Milodon 180deg flow thru model. I hope that is enough. I may have to put shutters on the radiator too if I want to drive it in the cold. It ran very hot when I was racing it so it's set up to cruise the desert with ease.

Hey Rich, didn't that use to have dual quads on there?   Why the drastic change?

I have 'ol LeRoar about ready to go.  I still need to splice the horn wire as it broke.  The neutral safety switch may still need adjustment and perhaps the kickdown.  I want to change the return springs on the carb and the choke will probably need tweaking.  Then I have some access plates to re-install later.  And of course I want to put the heater back in again. Keep your fingers crossed :-)
