Think the converter is toast changing fluid on a false hope

It is talking to you, listen and check very carefully  Fix it before it gets worst or hurt someone in other words

they ran today with no issues. took it to a trans shop and found the pinion nut had lost preload, zipped that back up and it ran low 10's like it had been with no issue. It's a good lookin car!

We made the second round but think the we drove thru the converter. Car was way down on time and only went 10.87. Kim said it sounded good all the way down. That 8" converter towing a trailer 800+ miles was a champ and did all it could. I'm just amazed we made it thru dragweek with all the problems and even made it thru the first round of bracket race. Lot of lessons learned. Funny after all the chaos, Kim and I was unloading everything this morning and little depressed we not headed to another race track today. Dragweek! You don't understand it until you do it Will try and giving a better run down of events after I get caught up on projects and yard work. Thanks to everyone that stopped by and gave support!!
