| Cut the old filter open and take a look. Hopefully its just a bit of "break in" and not full. |

Got the MSD installed, moved the coil to firewall. Sure does change to appearance of the engine bay. It's like it's empty, now.
Was wondering about the MSD run on, how to hook up the diode with an external regulator- apparently I missed the memo that with an external reg run-on is not likely an issue. It wasn't (or hasn't been yet.?)
The whole system (new to me) came with a 6000 rpm revlmiter pill. Shopping around, noted that they mostly come in packs of 5 (much like the Auto-meter shift light pills).
Who is it the folk are using the rev limiter that they need such a range? Is it being used in tandem with shift light? Just wondering.
Getting ready shoe races on saturday. Will post number for those curious.
Rev.

Night started off good- 14.099 off the bat, first run in the heat.
Everything else was in the 14.3
Except for the run I coasted through the trap, 14.99, to keep from breaking out.
Lost in 2nd round of elemination- 14.39 in a 14.3 dial in against a 15.56 on a 15.5 dial in.
Fun night racing. Gotta get seat time to work on clutch management. And a set of slicks. Yeah.

Installing home grown version of the jet doctor.
Last weekend, disintegrated a fan belt. Blew shrapnel all over the the bay.
Borrowed one from theBaker to finish t the night.
Times were down by almost .5sec. Further observation and reflection after the fact-
-previous times were run shifting at 6000. Of late been shifting @ 6200 & 6400.
- throttle cable pulled a smidged from linkage leaving it short of WOT.
With one more race, still hope for 13's.
I may head out in a non VW night.

Latest and greatest,
Had I been able to overcome the .085 deficit at the line, I would I have ended up alone at the top of the leader board.
As it is, I am tied with P. Gradwell for the series championship.
With a season best 14.09. The best I could do is 14.2
However,
Sunday afternoon, car wouldn't start, except with starter fluid, and the would run fine, though stumble in acceleration.
After it was warm, would start okay, though still stumble
Observed that none of the squirters were squirting.
Today, discovered that the pins connecting the accelerator pump linkage were awol.
Found them, replaced, and fired right up.
Having a hard time believing both fell out one night, I wonder how long the first one had been out.. . And what impact that had in my times,
Next year. Next year,

Thanks again.
Next year, I'd like to be in a dedicated car, rather than my DD. But I'd still like to get the Super under 14. Then I could really move on.
We'll see what the next 6 months hold.

Good job.
I drag race my street VW just as much as I do my dedicated drag Dunebuggy. I won my first track Championship running 16's & 17's.

Very cool Dave, that's a good accomplishment. Being consistent shifting gears in a VW is a lot more impressive then automatic cars just holding the gas pedal down till they cross the line.

Cold start this morning, car fired up and idled right away. No struggling before smoothing out. Guess that's the benefit of having the accelerator pump linkage functioning on all barrels?
