Well, I was never actually gone just been busy as a one armed paper-hangar (that's probably not PC but I really don't care). Over the past year my department at work was reorganized (for the second time in 3 years) which involved me getting a new position (not promoted just different), my wife took a new job so we relocated (okay so we only moved 30ish miles but the whole house hunt, selling the old house, move, etc was time consuming) AND I decided to finally finish the Bachelors degree I started in 1981. Oh yeah I decided it was also time to get fit and over the last few years have lost more that 100 pounds and run in a full marathon and a few half marathons as well as some shorter races.
Enough of that, I still have the Cordoba and did make some improvements as time permitted The best improvement was changing the carb out, I had an Eddy 750 that I switched to a Holley 670 made my quarter mile times/speed more consistent (don't start ragging on the Eddy carb, it was fine, my son and I, just couldn't get it dialed in). I also added a set of exhaust cut outs and proved that my tail pipes were hurting my times (knocked almost 2/10s of my ET) It is now running consistent 14.02s and I know there's more in there. I'll post a pic of the latest track day as soon as I find it.
I've got more that I plan on doing but as with most of you, the house, job, and school, are priorities right now. I do have a little extra time now that we're settled so I'll log in and post more often.
Have a great one,
Jim
