Little things that need attention.

Twice the car's battery ran down completely dead. ????
Parked in the garage the other night, went out to get something and noted the interior lights were on - what the hell? Open the door and close it, light flicker off then back on. Hmm. Push the door a bit in the front and lights go out. It seems the switch is a bit short or not reaching the door. Put a washer behind the switch, won't stay in the jamb. So welded a light blob at the end of the plunger - issue solved.



Examining the Edelbrock Pro Flo I note the tune recommended (440 CI, mild cam) uses a 43 psi setting and you cannot change that - but the gauge says 58 psi from the Corvette regulator. The tables E provides show a break at 440; a 439 will run 58 psi. So I reset it and now get to go thru the learning curve again.
