Cool!  Can't wait.   

Jay - I'm betting money that the discrepancy in the trigger angle setting on the software vs. the position of the missing tooth is what's causing your power loss.  The timing would be 17 degrees retarded if I'm reading your numbers correctly.

Once you fix the cranking issue and set the software to the correct missing tooth angle, I bet that power magically reappears (after all of the water leak monkey business is fixed!)

   Sorry to hear about your woes Jay.  "it is better to have loved and lost..." or something like that LOL!

Hell of an effort, but now you'll be able to really get the car dialed in and happy (while keeping your family happy too).

I'm sure the car will be needing that parachute next year. 

It seems to be one of life's constants.  No matter how well you plan and how much you put in the schedule, a big project always comes down to flogging in the last days!

Congrats on your tenacity.  The car is looking really good.  I'll be looking for some deflection on the seismograph needle over the next day or so. 

+1 here.  I wish I could lend a hand. 

Best of luck getting back on track!

Oh how cool!  That is a rare time capsule.

Reminds of of a story my dad told me.  He was living in Los Angeles in the mid-fifties working as an FBI agent.  Part of his job was testing pursuit cars in the Mojave desert.  One day he was out there and saw an old man driving a brand new shiny Model-T. 

"Huh?", my dad thought to himself.  He asked the old man about his car, and the man replied that when they went out of production in 1927, he bought two.  He had just driven the first one into the ground, so this was the second one.

Congrats Jay!  That ugly duckling is going to make quite the prom queen
