Re: Scott's 1972 Chevy K-20. A place to start.

So, a picture-less update. I haven't done a lot on the Chevy, but I have been working on the Dodge a bit to get it ready to move the driveline over to the '72.

I replaced the rotors and pads. The front rotors were shot and they did end up being warped, which was causing the problem.

I also did some engine work, swapping out the fuel plate to a #5 plate as well as moving the AFC so it the fuel comes on quicker. The Cummins is no longer a 190hp, 400ft.lbs. tame engine. Specs state that I should be at about 600+ ft.lbs. of torque now, and it really does drive differently. Oh, and let's not forget the cloud of black that I generate when I now put my foot into it. Those changes (and a couple of others) also helped increase the turbo boost pressure to about 20psi., up about 5-6 from where it was when I drove it home.

Now, I'm stuck waiting for June to roll around.
