In regards to collecting data. I’m currently logging AFR,engine rpm,throttle position, drive shaft rpm and g force for a total investment of $700-$800. Not your Racepak plug and play sensors,but not real hard to do.

The most dangerous thing is someone with a little information who makes incorrect assumptions from that information. I regret this already, but answer me one simple question. How does the presence of lead in race fuel not change the appearance of the plug compared to an unleaded pump gas? You...

There’ s a bunch of fuzzy thinking here. You believe that the fuel distribution throughout the cylinder at time of ignition is vastly different? “Try a lower octane” octane is burn rate. What is burn rate going to do for AFR. I’m trying man, but I can’t remember anyone saying the color of plugs...

A punch list on the windshield or steering wheel is best. You get in look forward and go “damn!!!” Get back out and do whatever is on the note.

Not sure they make one for 318, but I run the rubber one piece gasket for my 360. I made little wooden half circle blocks for ends and screwed them to plywood with blue masking tape on it. Then I RTV the gasket to the pan and put weights on the bottom of the pan to compress it a bit. Then I let...

Roll master, timing set is a thing I always get the best possible and consider it a maintenance item. However, have not had to replace my roll master since installing it. Been in there 2-3 times.

probably not at your power level, a big assumption on my part, but I’m somewhat familiar with that air cleaner and know someone running low 10’s with it and with a slightly taller filter. Which creates about 1/2-1” gap between the lid and housing. That housing is about $700+ to buy. I’m suppose...

Don’t run it the way you “fixed” it. That is going to vibrate out and it will probably suck air in and you will lose oil pressure. The no screwing around right way is a new cap and line hone. Which requires engine removal. Are there fixes that could work? Yes. On an inexpensive motor, I kinda...

Why not just snug it and put a big note on the windshield “remember to torque the crank bolt” then use your very nice tool. You running the motor out of the car first? Oh no lock washer.

Your plug shows to much timing or to hot of a heat range. There should be a slight change in color right around the bend. This is a rule of thumb. I would not change anything without knowing what you are doing with it. Race, you just back off the timing and start making runs. Keep adding 2...

That’s just silly, what changes the color of the threads? Throw the plug in the ocean and take a peek at it a mile down. No change, plenty of pressure, no heat.

Thread color does not indicate cylinder pressure. It gives you an idea if your plug heat range is close. 3-4 darker threads and you’re in the ball park. Not a concrete indicator.

I run this one. It uses plastic keys to set the mechanical advance. Mine is set for 10 degrees. DODGE Summit Racing SUM-851006 Summit Racing™ Billet Electronic Mopar Distributors | Summit Racing

9.5” converter?

the coloring will be different pump gas to race gas. The VP blue I run is…..well…. blue. The dye and the lead effect what the plugs look like. C12 is green. The cut plug I posted is more than likely VP blue.

Sorry, was interchanging terms. I don’t care about my stall number really. I wanted flash to 3500 and they speced 5500 flash because they didn’t read the sheet and pretty much everything else in my combo would like 5500 in flash. The 6” tire and my description of the class just says no! :) I’m...

Have two converters by them, very happy with both. I did fill out the spec sheet for the last one sent it in. I got a five word email response that told me they had not read the spec sheet. “8” 5500 stalll,$950 + shipping” Went through CRT to get it and it flashes to exactly 3500 rpm. Which is...

Fuel pressure does not mean fuel in the bowl. Don’t think fuel is your problem though. An issue I ran into is the rotor being too high in relation to the cap terminal. So the arc marks were up not out towards the terminal face. It would flutter a bit at higher rpm’s. Very subtle. Filed the...

Do you have a 4” angle grinder? With a cutoff wheel cut the crimp. Red line and pull the porcelain out. This is what you’ll be left with. Don’t compare yours to this though.

Yeah, FAST wasn’t there, just looking to run the car. Atwood’s would have come down if it got bumped to Sunday. The weather kept Bill D away. The others are just lame!!!:)

Then in the “last chance” round, left a bit early. Hard to run a sportsman tree for me. Saw his win light so I just legged it out.

Then drove over to Maple Grove and made 6-7 runs. Pretty wet air, and cold, was a bit squirmy. Two competition rounds. Lost in the first round. I dumped at the line until he popped up to my door, but not enough.

Made one run at Cecil County on Friday for street night. Then it sprinkled. Lot of moisture in the air, but happy with the run. Chicken footed it a bit according to the data.

As to pushrod length, what type of retainer does the lifter have? Cheap wire or sturdy snap ring? Look to see if the cup is against the snap ring. If it is, then adjust it as normal with an adjustable pushrod and measure it. Wire retainer, I would go deeper to keep the cup away from the wire...

Can’t you just set up the cylinder, adjust the lifter until it bottoms out the lifter and use the clay method. Put the lifter under spring pressure and put a dial ind on the retainer. When it stops collapsing set zero lash.

Either stepped on the throttle because she was pissed and it was taking too long to get to the turn or throttle issues.

Looks like the tires didn’t lock but started to spin.

I drive 13-16 hours a couple of times a year to run and went to Gateway once. The recipe isn’t a secret, get 4-8 racers with cars and interest and reach out to a track near you. Tell them you run a Stock Appearing Stock tire style and see if they will give you a lane for a day. There is a group...

Working on it, a group will probably head down to Musclepalooza for the 4/13.

My 9.5” PTC flashes to 3500 rpm and is absolutely no issues on the street. Slips 3-4 % at the stripe. I have run 3:23’s in the car. Never lacked low end power. The car will kill you in an instant on the street.
