Repeat from page 15 Loudbangs post #424

 

Looking a little better.

 

What's up with that major toe-out on the drivers side?!!!

 

Right wheel is turned too, it is only the effect of Ackerman.

 

Bad analogy alert
Isn't the Ackerman Principle kind of like "wind chill effect" as in it's only effective when it is actually in motion.
Yes, I know wind chill is only applied to humans (and animals).

 

The laws of geometry say it has to turn tighter.

 

Sorry to throw this thread sideways guys.
Now, back to induction.

I'm using this intake on my roadster engine, anyone recognize it.

 

Isn’t that the Jim McFarland designed Tork Link? Jim was HRM Tech Editor for a number of years and did consulting for Edelbrock among others.

 

I have seen them before but never had a chance to play with one.

 

Used to see it advertised in Circle Track magazines, not remember who made it.

 

A little ditty about it.

That's pretty slick looking Doug. Production numbers must be awfully low.

 

Interesting, a crank driven blower with an SU carburetor, it’s a RHD chassis so I suspect their influence was the Blower Bently.

 

I believe this is the 55 chevy that Austin Speed Shop built, named SHOWTIME.

 

We have a winner folks it is indeed Showtime. I posted it in here post 3049 if you want to see it.
