    The 408w had a blowup :(

    So at the drag strip I noticed smoke out the back. Ran fine so I thought head gasket but when I pulled the plug to do a compression test the plug was hit. My spiral lock had let go. So my wrist pin was rubbing on my cylinder wall. Not huge damage but the block is no good. I will be...

    Switch Labeling

    My interior has been coming together but I have put my switches in on my main panel (just my touch screen to fit in next) but I don't know what to do for labeling.
