I hear there’s new software and stuff. I’m going to try and post pics of new 17 wheels. Tires are Nitto 555’s.

Nice
Guess a little bird told you about the site upgrade
Spent some time on the 66’s motor. It’s a solid roller motor so it was time to run the valves. Slight adjustments required which is a good thing. New Felpro silicone valve cover gaskets. Also changed the plugs with everything all good there. 7.5 quarts of Valvoline 20/50 VR-1 racing oil and a premium Wix filter. While I was there I cleaned and polished on the motor. 59691EAC-DB23-4BEC-B08D-971EC5998980.jpg
Looking good, Bruce.
Wix filters are great ...they're built like a tank compared to some of the total crap that's out there -- like Fram, STP and the other cheapos.

Replaced upper bearing on steering column. While I had it apart, I noticed commutator for horn button and turn signal was messed up. So I replaced it with a billet aluminum one and a new billet steering wheel spacer.
I was never real happy with the amount of pressure I had to put on the brake pedal after I converted to four wheel disc brakes. I had a power brake conversion from MP Brakes that utilized a 7 inch single diaphragm booster. I also utilized a vacuum canister. There is not a lot of room and a 7 inch booster is the common offering. After some research and calculations, I found I had minimal pressure for my system. I found I could just squeeze in a 9 inch single diaphragm booster and clear everything. So I combined the with a 1 inch master designed for a disc/disc system from a 99/20 Blazer which nearly doubles my brake pressure. The Blazer cylinder is short and gives plenty of clearance from the spring tower. I also changed the pedal ratio from 6:1 to 4:1 by moving the rod pivot down 1 inch. Brakes now work great, as well as my 99 Lightning. B40133DE-B311-40AA-B184-D217692447C7.jpg
