Default my 1989 lx

i did the newbie thread a while back then made a thread in post your rides but i figured i'd say hello in here since i don't know anyone.

cars a n/a 302 bored 30 over, unported trickflow track heats, victor jr. intake, eagle rotating assembly, cp pistons, wilson spacer, pro systems carb. best so far has been a 6.95 at 104 at lakeland on 28x10.5 m/t stiff sidewall slicks @ 2800lbs. on 275/50r15 BFG drag radials it did 7.05 at 103 weighing 3030lbs. it needs a gear badly and to be lowered about an inch in the rear if possible. its still a stock block car.





and some pics from track event 20 posted in the picture thread by yblegal






Also there is a random steady dripping of water that is coming from inside the front of the bell housing but it only does it every once and a while and it starts and stops speratically. i could run all day and have it not happen, or i could run a few times then it starts then after 10min stops and doesn't do it anymore. anyone have any ideas whats leaking, i'm assuming a freaze plug? its just really wierd

but why is it randomly starting and stoping is what i can't figure out.

its not the intake i know that cause there is never water up on the back of the intake or down on the top of the bell, but the water is coming from about the center of the under side of the bellhousing. idk




it seems i've lost my engine bay shots.
