Chris,

it will be a while before you are contending for the win.

Tom--I know I'm not winning anytime soon--hell, I won't be able to make it to a driver's school until next spring! But I want to correct the things that are clearly illegal. I'm not going to pull the head and measure the cams to make sure the P.O. didn't put something funky in there yet, but I don't want to invite hassles, either. I figure if I'm going to be stripping the car down to inspect it before I head on track, I'd better correct the glaring issues as I come across them. It's not like I'll have too many issues sourcing parts. . .

Little time with a compression gage and a run or two on a dyno would be quicker and easier to tell if something's going on in there that shouldn't be. If you hook it up and it's putting down like 95whp, than yeah, something funky is in there. Hell, 85whp would be a strong number in one of those. Awww, ITC cars are so cute!



Kevin, who still gets a serious kick out of driving ITC cars.

i'll be bringing two heads and two distributors plus a block or so. good for cores at least. oh, and an intake.

what carb are you running on that thing?

what carb are you running on that thing?

Stock carb for now--though the previous owner thinks it is the carb that is keeping it from running. Might try and find a DMTR or DGV among the Fiats at the junkyard to fiddle with...
