Well, I wish I could post a video, but I got running today and everything seems happy and healthy. Took it up the street and pissed the neighbors off, so that was cool. It's got a little scoot. Hoping to get it to an AMC event this year maybe, trans is pretty noisy, but I suppose that's sort of typical. Clutch grabs pretty high but seemed to work ok, definitely need to shift it with some authority.

Do most guys bring there drag cars to an alignment shop or do it in house? Andy

I brought mine to an alignment shop but make sure they don't mar your nice wheels with the machines clamps! Ask me how I know.if I could do it at home I would, I'm getting to the point where I don't trust anyone to touch my junk.

Car looks great, ya gotta be excited...  Agree, I'd do my best to be able to align it myself at home.
Toe-In can almost be done with a tape measure.
Jegs / Summit used to sell a Camber Caster gauge in the Dirt Track Section
and there was an optional Toe-In attachment iirc...

So, I got it to the track last year but it didn’t work out well.  I did a burnout, got the car staged pretty good and left right around 6k and had nothing but tire spin.  I definitely need to get a professional alignment done and go over the chassis again before taking another shot.   Worse yet, #3 was taking on water like a sinking ship.  I left it in semi-disgust at the end of last season and haven’t had the time or energy to address it.  Fast forward to today and I pushed it out of the corner and I’m gonna get it back together.  I even called cometic and they were very quick to say that the RTV used around the water ports caused the failure.  I hope they are right, because I will be pretty disgusted if it happens again.

On the Spirit I used this switch mounted to the inner fender so the bellcrank activated it. I used a piece of 1" or so aluminum to shim it out to the right depth to mate with the bellcrank arm at top where the clutch rod that comes from the pedal hooks to it.
I wired my 2 step though it(power from the line lock switch) so when you dump the clutch it goes to the high side limiter.
On my Gremlin I mounted it under the dash to the clutch lever cause I have a hydraulic clutch cylinder. And it was easier to get to under the dash in that car.
If you want to save $114.49 plus the shipping cost you can buy that exact switch on eBay for $12.50 with free shipping.

Awesome car and I hope you get it sorted.  Did you manage to find any 90/10's for the front, if not what shocks are you running?
