A big thumbs up from the great white north. All the best at Eagle Fiield.
Don

 

someday you'll have to bring yours down. Cheers!

 

What are those fully lookin little cars in the garage?

 

way cool Tim love the "y" good luck

 

Lynyrd Skynyrd and open exhaust Y Block, gotta love it...

 

Those are Hot Rods from the other side.

I was going to turn the radio off but I just couldn't bring myself to cut off a good song.

 

Niiiiiiice! Thats how a y-block should sound!

 

Cool Tim see ya there.........Carl

 

This should be the cure for the 322ci with the 4" bore. I will still be running the 338ci Y this weekend but the intended motor will go back in soon.

 

Eagle Field tomorrow! Good luck to me.

 

best of luck to ya tim!

im still just sitting in my mockup making engine noises.

 

Where did the copper gaskets come from ??

 

I d love to come. Have a distant cousin who used to hold a FED dragster record in 70s but i have never met him.
Paul Dulmage. I think it was C/D I believe his is a Califorian.
I am loaded up to go this weekend. The ONDR guys (Ontario Nostalgia Drag Racers )are here for the weekend and there is always lots of neat stuff around. I was going to go down tonite to test and tune but the wind is so strong the for sale house signs are blowing straight horzontal. I made an exectutive decision the that much wind is not healthy to be racing in. Tomorrow daytime should be quieter.
Anyway I hope you have a great weekend with the 338. Since i built my little FED i have no idea why I ever had any other type of car.
All the best to all of you at Eagle Field this weekend. Wish i was closer. i suppose it is warm there too!

Don, did not realize you were from my neck of the woods. Do yu think you might make it down to Western New York G***er Gang next summer?

 

Hey- Good luck tomorrow Tim! Wish we could be there.

 

Don, did not realize you were from my neck of the woods. Do yu think you might make it down to Western New York G***er Gang next summer?
If I drive 26 miles at one spot in the road on the crest of the hill i can see some of the lights of Rochester. I am due north.
I have thought about it. My wife has family in Rochester and I have a brother and sister near Ogdensburg. As long as i can find the Crackerbarrels I am fine. Anyway this is mctims moment in the sun. I wish him well. What I like is he trys stuff. I really admire that in a racer. I watched his motor build from the begining. Saw he was more then just a weekender. Has a little experience and skill under his belt (actually from his machine work a lot.)and thinks things through while still pushing the envelope. Skill and determination coupled with hard work and imagination is a killer combo. My hat is off to him.

Innovative Machine & Supply St. Louis MO. they now have a pattern for the Y in their system because of me.

Tim it was a pleasure to meet you this weekend and fun to run against your YBlock, you can't believe how much enjoyment I got out of it, and for the benefit of others on this forum Tim is one cl*** guy .......................IMHO....
From a Flat point of view...........I mean if you just gotta have valve covers they might as well be Ford right???????...............Carl

 

Great to see you Tim and meet Todd. Did you ever fix that bent distributor?.........ha ha

 

I don't know how I missed you Carl but we will meet up.

 

That is so damned cool.

Nothing like a Y-Block.

 

Does just fine! I have a cooling system.

Skip, I'm trying to bend that dizzy back upright.

 

It is a cool Y Block and damn it runs alright too, even sounds neat as it p***es you................
Yea Royal I met so many saturday I'm confused but at my age it comes with the territory...

 

Thanks Carl! I wish Lee knew that sound. lol

 

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD cl***=smalltxt vAlign=top>Did a little work on Elwood yesterday. Adjusted the valves, cut six inches off the zoomies and made new fuel lines. Took him to the local A&W cruise night (bunch of SBC powered easter eggs there) and next week we will be going to Famoso for an ANRA event to see if he will p*** tech and hopefully make a couple of p***es. Maybe I will have a timing slip to show to you guys by next Mon.

Looking forward to a great time Tim! Bit of a trip but maybe we could get Carl down here
