If you look at the pre-registrations for the races, you'll notice that only 80% or so actually show up.  Sure, a few are just dreamers, but many don't finish the first part of the race:  getting the car ready.

After a little internet research, I found that the engine is a 301 Pontiac.  This link http://mightymo.org/Proj_OneWire.html shows a way to quickly hook-up a GM distributor, it works.

I really hate Quadrajet carburetors.  What a pain they are to work on.

4 of the wheels came in so we mounted some new tires on them.  The tires on the Sentra work so well that we got the same brand for the Monte.  I think we have a secret weapon in tires; the price is right and they perform as well as any I've seen at the track.

The 'to-do' list is down to 4 critical items, window net, harness, hood pins and numbers.  Of course, the list still has a lot of important things left on it, but these are the only 4 that will keep the Monte off the track.

This is the Monte after it's been stripped.
