502ci

Make a clock out of it...I did that with my Dad's old Mickey Thompson slick. Found a clock 15" in diameter and put it in the center.

There is no heating element, just a fan, if that is what you are asking. That is how they came from the factory, never really worked well.

Went to only a couple cruises this year and just parked my car far away as I did not want to try and find a spot. I did get a picture of my car though.

Does your crate 502 have the provisions for a mechanical pump? I know on my crate 502 there were none so I had no choice but to go electric. Been so long I do not remember the original pump...but doesn't it have an inlet, an outlet to the carb, and the third one was a return to the tank?

Nice!!! That is exactly what mine looked like 36 years ago...not so much now though, lol.

Congrats!!! With home ownership now comes paying for any repairs yourself don't forget, hopefully it is a newer town house. 🙂

Pretty good run. The ET clock does not start counting till you move no matter if you sit there for a minute your 15.32 will still be a 15.32. Your reaction time clock starts as soon as it turns green...which means if you are actually racing yes you better cut a good light. For racing lets say you dial your car in at 15.32 and have that written on your windshield, you have to run as close to it as possible without going any faster than that. For arguments sake lets say both you and the person you are racing against both run exactly on your "dial ins" (whether his dial in is 16.5 or whatever) the race will be decided by who had the better reaction time. In bracket racing it is good to race a slower car because the computer will turn their lights on accordingly so they get a head start making it so you both should cross the finish line at the same moment...which means they get a head start so you will be able to see if they redlight. If they do you can take off safely not trying to cut a good light as you have already won the race and will move on to the next round.

Don't worry about red lighting or sitting there after the light turns green... just race your race, neither will affect your ET. High 15's.

Well, my Monte has been sitting in my trailer since last year when I brought it home from Carlisle... yesterday I finally started it up and pulled it out. Went to the local car cruise near me and it was so crowded I just parked the car far away and walked around. I see a 71 so I head over and there is Greg Blasco (Capri's husband) talking to the car owner. Then I run into my girlfriend's friends and hung around them. Their 18 year old son has a early 90's Camaro and it was cool to see how much interest he has in cars. There is still hope for the youth.

There should be a tab about halfway up the tube that has a hole in it that mounts to the block.

I can't view the pics either.

Good, must of worked. 😀

Welcome aboard. Looking forward next year at the Eastern to meet you and your car. I myself have owned my Monte for 36 years.

Forgot to mention I have beat the daylights out of it and it runs flawlessly.
