Probably 18 years old and 60k+ miles on it, but still functions like new. Much better than that POS Beck/Arnley part from the autostore...

I always see people recommend only OEM for this - no aftermarket

And not one that is 18 years old either haha

The old one actually works great, lol. I'll likely be replacing that with a solid one anyway and hopefully also making an access plate in the lower timing cover for tightening.

Got in it and drove to indy to the NG

raced it at NG two days in a row.

Scrubbed and power washed the engine bay as best I could with everything still in it. Tomorrow I'm going to remove the rest of the parts, scrub it out a bit more and start sanding that awful white out of there. Hopefully shortly afterwards I'll be able to paint it black.

Datalogger is down so after my back to back 40-150 pulls i was curious as to how the car ran, pulled plugs, clean, intact, no signs of detonation, maybe lightly rich but still clean. :)

You're not doing 150. You really need to get that speedo fixed. I bet you are doing 135 max. The 1g speedo is off BAD.

Hehe i never said nuttin but speedo.

put on my new TB i got from April today. finally no more leaky TB! Thanks girl. Thing looks great
