Chevrolet Corvette Stingray - The Timber Wolf C2 Gets Fired Up

Accessory City
The Hedman Hedders are installed along with the Vintage Air front runner system, including the A/C compressor, alternator, and serpentine belt. These Hedman hedders use a ceramic/metallic composition known as HTC (Hi-Tech Coating) that is considered one of the best thermal coatings available. the car was also updated with a new Flaming River power steering box and one of their trick underhood kill switches. M & H Electric provided wiring harnesses for the complete car including the engine compartment.

Cool It
Now we install our Be Cool radiator/dual-fan combo to keep those ponies chilly.

Just Notch It
Due to needed clearance for the new Vette Brakes power brake booster, we had to notch out the lefthand valve cover. The new power steering, brakes, and suspension will be covered in their entirety next month.

Getting Closer
Most of the major engine components are in place and securely fastened. We then plumbed the heater hoses and installed the new Optima battery.

Lite My Fire
The MSD distributor and the correct MSD spark plug wires are installed, and the carburetor linkage is hooked up. We then put some high-test fuel in the new Quanta gas tank, turned the key, and the Timber Wolf C2 roared to life.

Two Guys and a Hot C2
Billy and Kim adjust the timing for optimal performance.

SandStorm Warning
we install the L-88 style air cleaner. We still had some work to do to the hood to make it functional but because of sandstorms the week of the photo shoot, we installed the foam element on the air cleaner base as a safety precaution. The foam will be installed properly in the hood later. We let the engine run for a bit, checking for leaks, and once we were satisfied that everything was in working order we took her for a spin, and then it was off to Greenway Auto to be dyno tuned.

Getting' Down on the Dyno
Bill Mackenzie, proprietor of Greenway Auto Service, puts the Timber Wolf on his Clayton chassis dyno and lets her rip.
