Thanks for all the information on the Inovate LM-1 I bought one this morning from DYNO-TUNE for $299.00 with two bungs, one for each side.Where is the best location for mounting the bungs to obtain the best readings?

During my trip to Detroit's Woodward Cruise last week my brother in-law had a oxgen sensor mounted on his Harley Davison just for Tuning his bike. And since my car seems to be running Rich I thought this would work.

Thanks Again

Has anyone ever installed an Oxygen Sensors on there Street Rod to confirm Fuel/Air mixture? I know most EFI car have computers to adjust but has any tried on Carb Motors..

Nu-Relics is what I used on the 37 and it's easy, I did have one motor that had a dead spot when I put the window all the way down. Talked with them in Louisville and they gave me a new one..


Darrell

Ok T.V. Dave,


It sounds like it maybe a pretty good show and since Aesthetic Finishers did all my powder coating i thought it would be nice to stop in.. Heck with free Registration, free shirt and great give aways, why not... I really sorry we'll miss each other during this trip, and hope you have a safe trip out west. I'm sure i will bring the car back to the Dsetroit area before winter and we can hookup then.

I just received a flyer today from Aesthetic Finishers Car Show August 18 in Piqua Ohio, Is anyone from here going? ESPN and Mothers Car Polish will be filming on site during this show.. Since it's on the way back from Woodward Cruise in Detroit I'm thinking of stopping by. Last year they had 1100 cars and it's Free.

Darrell

Dave,


Sorry to hear your not attending the Woodward Cruise this year and hope you have a blast out west with the family.. I'v always wanted to go see the races at the Salt Flats... maybe one day.. have a safe trip and enjoy.

Now that your a big TV Star and all, you have to keep up with apperences and sign autographs at the Flats...

Darrell

Thanks Guys,


I must say it was nice to win this award, but even better that the car performed with no problems, this was the first trip since finishing the build and you never know.. About one hour from the house we hit rain and I must say I was a little white knuckled with those big tires.

Hope to see some of you at the following shows

Louisville
Frog Follies
Shades of the Past

And Dave I will be coming to Woodward since I'm grew up in the Detroit area, I coming early in the week and leaving before the cruise starts..


Thanks Again
Darrell

I went to Goodguys Columbus last weekend with the coupe for the first major car show and had a great time.. I didn't have the car judged but to my suprise on Sunday morning I was paged to report to the Winner Circle... My car was picked for the Fat Fender Award by Good Guys.. What a Rush, I didn't build the car for this but I must say It was nice to receive an award the first time out.

There's a picture at www.photosportsusa.com  under the columbus awards area.. Group 69.. July 13-15 and also at the link below..

It's the Orange 1937 Ford Coupe

I have also used Nu-Relics 0n my 37 Coupe everything is a direct bolt-in
with no fab work. I think the price was about $550.00 but it sure was easy. I also have the smokers window in the 37. My brother ordered his for a 1940 Coupe with smokers window..

During the build of my 37 Couple we used Lizzard skin and sprayed every
place we could get too, and then went over it with Fat Mat... I can't report how everything works as I haven't drove the car much yet..

Darrell

Jusjunk,

I went to Fort Benning U.S. Army base this weekend for the 3-Gun Challenge and got to shoot pistol, shotgun and Ar-15 and the Military M16
on full auto... What at Blast shooting about 500 rounds of .223 with the best Marksman the Army has on the Army Marksmanship Unit. The match was won by Taran Butler and filmed by the cable network and should air in about 60 days.

I must say it does look like Tenn Orange, but I wear my Michigan as much as possible...

Thanks Guys, after three years it's almost complete

U-WHO if I were going to paint my car a college color it would be Maze & Blue GO MICHIGAM  since two of my daughters are grads for there.. and I spent 25 years living in Michigan...

Depending on the outcome of tomorrows game maybe I won't drive my car for the next few days...

Nine years in Lexington I've become  a diehard Wild Cat basketball fan..
