Shell Valley build

[RJCCOBRA]

It's alive!!! Well, today we we're finally able to fire up the Shell Valley. We had a few coolant leaks, which for the most part were solved by tightening up some hose clamps. The one leak we weren't able to resolve was a small leak in the diver's side radiator tank. We'll be taking the radiator back to the radiator shop tomorrow to have them repair their previous repair. The only other issue was with the ignition. I had an Accel billet distributor that I was using with a MSD 6AL box. I had disabled the internal module in the Accel distributor (it had been fried), and I was just using the distributor's magnetic pickup. Well, I believed the the Accel schematic and hooked it up to the 6AL box accordingly. We could get the engine started, but we couldn't get the engine to run right, nor could we get it timed. I then reversed the leads from the distributor's magnetic pickup and the engine ran smooth, and we were able to get it timed. Anyway, as soon as we get the radiator back in it, we'll be able to get it off of Buddy's lift and start on the body work.

This will be my last and final response to this thread

so you will just bring this up in other threads that do not pertain to it

Just a short note concerning my Shell Valley Coupe that Dwight Frye has mentioned in this thread. Immediately after the complications with my rear end I spoke with Dana from Shell Valley and informed him of the problem with my nine inch rear end axles and misalignment. He asked me to fax them the invoices of my expenses to repair the rear end. After faxing the requested information to Dana at Shell Valley they expeditiously mailed me a check for the entire expense. Needless to say, at this time of year, my capital for this sort of event is very limited and I am much relieved to have received the re-imbursment. I appreciate Shell Valleys attention to this matter.

seems to me Dana and SV took action

SV has took very good care of me even when it was my mistake, so if you have a beef with them why don't you pick up the phone and call them they always pick up, [unlike some other co.] and I'm sure they will address you're problem


sorry RJ did'nt mean to interupt you're thread but some people just piss me off, nice build by the way watching with interest
