Got the car on the road finally... (except I've got to fix the clutch interlock switch and the hood doesn't shut all the way). First gear is useless. It's over in a second. The tires break loose at 3000 RPM in second. With cold tires I lose traction in third gear, too. Maybe I've got too much power...
Two weird noises from the car
1) A "tink" sound that is similar to when the exhaust system cools. Maybe my new headers heating up? The tink sound is only when I'm driving at really weak part throttle, so I don't think it's detonation. Well it might be at other times, but I can't hear squat over the exhaust.
2) A squealing sound... like a bearing... I'm assuming it's the blower idler bearing or one of my accessories. How tight is the blower idler pulley supposed to be cinched down onto the idler bracket?
This is a Novi 1000 dual belt system.
