Aug 9: Soft Touch

I started to wonder what happened to the fuel pump I used to run on the '69 before I went electric... so I had a rummage about in the shed and found this... an MSD Soft Touch rev limiter which I'd set up as a 'launch control' for drag racing. Well, I'd set it up with the help of Mike, who's a whizz at 'leccy things. It was wired to a switch on the steering wheel and would hold my launch revs when I held it down with my thumb. Alas, I kept forgetting to release the button and the car would hit the limiter on the charge up the strip... and I'd lose the race. I also found a new coil, an oil change gasket set, a 'power pulley', but no fuel pump...

OK people this is the scene. DM flying off up the strip with the engine bouncing off the rev limiter after a perfect launch, me standing on the start line screaming "take your finger off the button, TAKE YOUR FINGER OFF THE BUTTON"....
