Sorry about all the editing of the posts... I am just trying to keep photos together from the different photographers so they get full credit.
Many, many more pictures included in the links!

...Apparently I'm a moderator or something as no tracking is showing up when edited :shrug:

Thanks
Stacy

Yes Kevin
That is a 1977 GMC Palm Beach with the Olds 455 front wheel drive power plant. I had entertained thoughts of using that on Sunday as I was running out of options when I could not get my mini to run.

and Just as a side note the mini is now running..seems I was trying to time it while thinking the distributor turned in a clockwise direction :oops:

That's actually a local fellow named Cody, he pulled in on Saturday while we were setting up and asked what it was all about - he was very nervous and timid at the idea and admitted he'd "never done anything like this before." I told him I'd show him the lay of the land if he found me on Sunday. He did quite well for his first time out, and over his 4 runs he improved by a full 3 seconds! :!:

It's hard to make out the problem with such a small picture
I blew it up a bit so you can see the issue

Another rodent must have got into my fathers car (shown in the middle) on the way home back to Fredericton as the fuel filter got all gummed up.

Does it have a shift weight? The Mazda used to do it under hard load in second and third gear, but all I had to do was remove the shift weight and everything was fine again!

Matt, I don't think so. There is lots of play in the shifter in 1st and 2nd, 3-5 seem fine. I have to look into it more but from what I have read it's likely the intermediate shaft is toast.
