Also, other than tuning the tire pressure by looking at the contact/rubber marks. Any settings you have on the street are going to be pretty far off on a prepped track. A prepped track will steal your shoes then your socks! For example It will hook much harder, topping out the front suspension...

Absent any influence that the bars will have. The lower blocks should decrease your % of rise. There by reducing the separation of the body and axle. Draw a line from the tire contact patch, through the instant center (absent Caltrack influence is the front leaf spring eye) out through the car...

I have been running comp EDM solids since 2010. Was worried the oil hole in the face would just get plugged up over time, but have been in there a bunch of times and they are always clear. If going flat tappet, I would do the EDM’s again. I run in the window that Dwayne outlined for spring...

You have the speed bumps already. The only thing I can think to try is using the smallest wire ties you can find. You put them on the booster with the ratchet on the outside pointing in the direction you want more charge to go, but you have a bank that is leaner. So that isn’t really a solution...

I’m just a ham fisted monkey and NOT a porter, but I was told to round this edge as much as possible. To help the charge make the turn. This is not apples to apples.

Probably because you are slamming fuel into the plenum floor on the high side. Then raw fuel travels down the runner and never fully atomizes again. I have seen raw fuel stains on my plenum floor on the high side. I dimpled the floor to help atomized the raw fuel again. Staining was greatly...

So your total filter height is what? 3/4” above the hood, leaving 2”ish below? For the absolute best flow, I would treat the top of the hood as where you want the bottom of the filter. Then I would use the new space below it to make an ideal velocity stack into the carb. I mean you already have...

I like the noise, it drowns out the damn buzzing from the MSD in the glove box! :):):)

I agree, be very careful. Have seen a bunch of these be scams. They steal ads, change location and lower the price a bunch or just steal pictures and make an ad. I have found my car for sale three times.

One of the weak spots in the 904, kinda surprised an aftermarket converter didn’t address it. Might have not been the converters fault, pump gear could have help kill it.

My guess on the larger holes in the cam might be just a hedge against large tolerances in the stock block hole locations, but no one ever told the bearing manufacturer. What rockers? More concerning if you are running an aftermarket needle bearing rocker. They tend to bleed off oil pressure...

No, any residual oil shouldn’t be an issue. Leave the plug out though. A warm pump might just be less efficient.

Jack it up and they should be pretty easy to reach. You may need to take a piece of coat hanger and poke around in the hole. They get covered over by casting sand and other crud. I replaced mine with two petcocks to make it easy to drain for the winter.

I can’t run body parts in my class, but other than the physical size they are pretty straight forward. The issues I run into is getting fine details out of a part. A broad curved panel would be pretty easy. Easy Composites has a video where they did a hood. Basically make two molds. One for the...

Had a question about the bottom surface. The wrinkle doesn’t print through to mold side.

Not an issue, it might like it. I would buy an open spacer and see if it likes it. Be careful with hood clearance. 1/2” can be significant. 1/4” would solve your original issue, if it has clearance issues.

If only I could..

Pop rivet a plate over the hole! Happy wife, happy life!!!! My wife has never driven my car, will ride in it to get ice cream, but has no interest in driving it. Even when it was more user friendly. She is afraid of damaging it, I tell her all the time, they are just cars and everything can be...

Funny that I see this post, just got done drawing this.

Your liquid filled gauge is going to lie to you also. They change pressure with temp change. Saw mine go from zero to 6 lbs at idle. The to zero at idle for 10 mins. Drained the oil out of the gauge and rock steady 6 lbs.

Seems like two issues, one fuel evaporates and there is not much you can do. Cheap fuel is the cause? Same thing happens to me and I run C12. I run a 1/4” phenolic plate which should help your warm restart issues and delay the fuel evaporating very slightly. If it REALLY annoys you. Electric pump.

Was searching for random knowledge and found this old post. Figured I would add to the random knowledge. 11.17 at 120 with a Edelbrock 800 thunder AVS.

I’m running that spring with no rear clamps and the stock front clamps. I know people who put stouter front clamps on, but I never have. (Most are not A bodies). No one runs a pinion snubber, even a 10’s stick car big block Challenger. The advice I have is video the car launching. First look at...

The console is completely carbon fiber. I used chrome vinyl wrap to simulate the chrome. Made molds of the existing console parts and made it in 5 pieces. The two top plates, the ash tray lid, the storage bin and the console structure. The rear seat bottom is still the real deal. The back is a...

Thanks, I appreciated that.

Supposed to run Cecil county Friday/Saturday, unless they cancel for weather. A group might test at Lebanon Valley if it does rain out at Cecil.

What is the lash? If it is too tight, it can not allow oil between the cup and pushrod or squeeze out the oil film to the point of burning them up.

I ran that piston, the highest section was not proud of the deck. Blueprint used or uses that piston. I know that the flat top version I replaced it with sits .010 in the hole on the same block/rods/crank so my deck height is a bit tall? If yours does sit way proud, something off.

They were sometimes a little blotchy originally anyways.

I’m just using rattle can sandable primer, I’m sure my issues were temperature induced. Cold part, cold can. Rushing to get it done. Thinking heat gun will solve everything… 100 deg ish part and room temp can. Worked well. I am at my limits in shock adjustment, but pretty happy with how it...
