Hopefully, I'll be there with you in September.

Maiden voyage from work to home tonight.

There seems to be some stumbling above a certain rpm( no tach for now) under load, but smooth on the flats. Thinking weak injector. I'm going to send out my 4 spares to be reworked tomorrow.

Smoke is getting in the cabin under hard pulls( lots of those 'round here) and I'm assuming that's the leakage around the manifold/flange fitting.

Temp was OK, hung around thermostat opening for a while and didn't get past the fan on temp. Was able to drop temp with manual fan switch.

Going to make a few runs before I start a fuel log, just to make sure everything is going to hold together for now.

Lots to do before Bonneville
