Its running great. With the help from Thumper on carb tuning the 1250, its really been great here at the end of summer. Went to a number of cruise nights and a big car show.

It was all loaded in the trailer to race at the Empire Frigid Nationals last week, and the weather really set in. So it does not look like I will get any passes on it this year. I did put about 600-700 miles on it though at the end of summer.

Only issues I have is the carb is very close to the scoop, and I can't fit an air cleaner or phenolic spacer, and on hot days, I do not like where the temp gauge climbs to. I called Meizeire and they said its time to move up to the 55gph pump. My cooling system is pretty decent, and it seems the cast iron block traps a lot more heat than my aluminum one did...My timing at idle and such is 22*, and 33-34 total and engine temp became an issue on 90* days with 4.10 gears going down the road.

I did get a bigger oil pan from Billet fabrication this year and replaced the 9 quart Milodon pan with a 12 quart Billet Fab pan. And I fixed a vibration I have had in the car since last year. Runs really nice down the road now....Scary fast!
