Got it fixed. switched over to a pertonix II with Lobe Sensor and swapped in a new .6 OHM coil. problem fixed. Feel free to continue debating...
Someone needs to walk me through this - coils come from the factory painted, aftermarket coils are powder coated, and some are made of plastic...
yes
brand new 1406.
I’m working a 429 Cad, with a Pertronix II and I’ve got a low rpm / idle miss issue. I’ve traced it back to ignition. Already ruled out the easy...
Wheelie bars are all welded up [ATTACH]
yeah it was a long time ago, like 10 years. I've had this car for so long that the motivation was easily lost as I aquired new projects, but shes...
Buttoned up a couple little safety items the track officials wanted me to fix - head rest, SFI padding, higher side bar Also started on the...
Next on the punch list is: - wheelie bars - head rest (track officials were pretty pissed I didn’t fix that) - SFI cage padding - mechanical...
Went to a smaller pulley up top, added some timing, increased my launch rpm, and added an air shifter. Ran 10.53 and I took my foot out of it....
yeah - those demon carbs wouldn’t have been my preference, but they came with the blower and met the CFM requirements using the online calculator....
long time no see! I’m assuming the Nova is gone by the picture in your profile.
yeah - pops at the line and my son was filming, checking tire pressure, and changing plugs. He got promoted from schwab to crew !
30 degrees, distributor locked out. I’m also running a Boost / Timing controller. I have it pulling out 1.5 degrees for every 2 pounds of boost.
She runs 91 with booster on the street and I ran 110 at the track. I’m going to up the track fuel to 116 just to be safe as I’m not going to pull...
no sway bar - springs are only moved in maybe 4 ", I made some pockets in the frame and inset them. I do have some REALLY stiff shocks though.
dont know - scale was broken. My guess is between 3200-3400 without me and I'm a big boy at 255
Yeah - it was through "mufflers" and a pretty low launch RPM, I was also shifting late and hitting the rev limiter - shakedown runs.
Thanks for all the comments guys, really appreciate it. It's been a long time since I drove this car at the track, best part is I get to this with...
VERY - I'm gonna have to keep it in check or I'll end up divorced.
Edit: Wheel stand video on Page 2. Video and pics below if you dont feel like reading LOL This car has been in the family for 40 years and 3...
So I finally got it to seal up. The last seal I got from Best was different. It was made from a MUCH softer material. When I called them to point...
I haven’t swapped anything out, just verified they were the same. The crank is actually primo, it just looks like shit in the pic because of the...
I saw that thread but couldn’t find any images to show the differences. I have a set of 65 and 66 caps and they’re both the same.
Ok so is it just me or does it look like this seal is made backwards. I know it’s facing the right direction, but if you look at the grooves they...
crank looks great - no groove, I'm going to put some calipers on it though. Maybe someone turned it down at soem point or tried to "clean it up"...
right stuff
Rebuilt motor, PCV is hooked up and working right. I also switched my oil fill cap out to a breather style. I thought it might be crankcase...
I've read that thread a dozen times now LOL and that seal you have listed is the seal I've been using.
I've got a 65' 429 with a rear main oil leak that I'm at a loss with. I've replaced this seal 5 times now. I'm doing a few different things each...
