Well, could have been a better day at the track, that's for sure. First test pass this morning WTF, no 3rd gear... So much for that. Turns out that last week when I dropped the valve body to change the shift selector seal, I didn't get the cable set just right. I did make sure it started in neutral and park but didn't run it through the gears to make sure I was grabbing 3rd before going to the track. Ok so no big deal right, a quick adjustment, well that turned out to be a real pain in the *** dragged out job. Hot headers, trans blanket in the way, no room. Make an adjustment, try it, needs a little more, well the headers are hot again, delay delay. Messed up the day. But a better 1.500 60' right off, so heading in the right direction and the car felt good.
Will get it all good in the days ahead and will also upgrade to a good electric water pump before the next time out.
