Looks like a broken axel to me. I could be wrong. i'm good at that, just ask my wife!

He said the right slick hooked up when he let off and hit the wheelie bar and the rest is in the proof.
If a tree falls in the forest and my wife is not there to hear it, am I still wrong?
OH NO

The tree has moss all over it and looks partially dead to me??? The root ball doesn't look like a live healthy tree either. Looks like a dead tree waiting to fall. I didn't see any shoes though.

That event last year was the first full runs with the new heads and injectors, and still sorting out some issues. The run before this one went straight up to the back bumper, then this match up where this 9.00's vega handed me my ass, third run matched with Brian Labombard's 9.00 white 61, who also handed my ass to me. Tough bunch to hang with.
Did you get your intake leak sorted out Dave?
I hope so, Dave. After some discussion with Kinslers they advised me to remove the braces I had made to tie the left & right side injectors together. The 3- piece inj. assembly ( left side, right side, and valley cover) . Each side needed to be free to expand and move with the aluminum heads as they went through they're heat and cool cycles, to prevent the long throttle shafts from binding. Which I did find was happening when hot. Removed the side to side braces, readjusted the throttle plate shafts, then proceeded to grenade the transmission. Haven't tested out this theory yet.
If I recall correctly you had some problems idling when hot. Removing the braces probably corrected that?
When you have 409 injected straight axle nova you don't have to be the fastest to be cool.
Dave, your car is making great power, and with an iron block to boot.
