In this latest episode from EmeliaHartford, we witness the trials and tribulations of her blown big block Ford Mustang. With a new slipper clutch installed, Emelia takes the beast out for a spin, only to discover that the clutch release is not as snappy as she's used to. This slow release proves to be a challenge when shifting into second gear, causing frustration and a need for adjustments. But fear not, for Emelia is determined to conquer this new clutch and take her Mustang to the drag strip.
At the drag strip, the Mustang's true potential is put to the test. However, things don't go as smoothly as anticipated. Clutch slip and an oil leak rear their ugly heads, forcing Emelia to cut her track time short. But that doesn't dampen her spirits, as she sees this as an opportunity to fine-tune her machine and make it even better.
Back at the shop, the team gets to work. They decide to add more weight to the clutch to prevent future slipping. Additionally, they cut a hole in the bell housing for easier access. With these modifications in place, Emelia is ready to take on the West Coast Power Tour.
At Pomona, the Mustang faces its biggest challenge yet. With cold conditions and slicks on, Emelia battles tire slip and clutch pedal issues. However, she manages to put down a solid run, showcasing the true power of her machine. Excitement fills the air as she achieves her personal best, making a 10-second pass. But just when it seemed like victory was within reach, the car dies on the return lane, leaving Emelia to ponder the cause of this setback.
Despite the challenges faced, Emelia remains determined and optimistic. She sees these hurdles as part of the game, knowing that even the pros encounter similar issues. With each test and tune session, she inches closer to unlocking the full potential of her Mustang. So stay tuned, for there are surely more thrilling and nail-biting moments to come in EmeliaHartford's quest for automotive greatness.
