Here's a first for me.
Customer drove in with his 03 ranger complaining about the check guages light and no o/p gauge.
Walked out to the truck,started it up and noticed a slight ticking noise from one of the lifters. Ok into the shop we go.
In the shop first things first lets check the oil level mummm no oil on the dipstick. Two and a half quarts later fired it up still no gauge reading. The emmisions tech told me there's a puddle under the truck.
The customer is a school...

Changing from one type of racing to another can be a pain.
Case in point I was tring to use circle track methods to figure out the final drive ratio needed for drag racing.
Wroung I forgot that I'm shifting gears there by changing the multiplier.
Numbers so that I can remember
second gear 2.14X3.44=7.36 final.
7,920 inches in a 1/8 mile
The 205/60/13 tire is 72 inches in circ. with a dia. of 22.4
Thinking about a 24.4 dia.tire.

Had a great time last night and didnt break any parts.
Got to the track very late like around 8:25 right before the drivers meeting. So we were late teching in. Oh well..no practice runs so my setup was a big guess. First round drop out
