Sometimes that great light does not help much. A few years ago I cut a light, then when I hit second gear (4 speed) I threw a rod, It did not go...
Old28, before you do anything else, change your ratio to about 6 or 7 to one. The fact that it will stop the wheels now, probably on stands. It...
Old 28, that tread width is measured to the centers of both tires, and is a minumum only, you can have them as much wider as you wish.
Hi Old28, It looks like you are very close to a "First Burnout". Try to get someone to take a picture of the smoke coming off those tires. Then...
HI Old 28, with my memory I don't remember the cam specs. But 233 cubic in. 6000 rpm on the engine dyno, 315.9 HP and 305 lbs tork at 4800 rpm....
How old are you? The first two Dodge Brothers both died in 1920. We have a 27 Dodge coupe sitting in my friends shop, with a 53 Chrysler hemi in...
I think that you need to call the converter maker with all of your engine specks, even your cam card. That is what I had to do when a 3500 stall...
Roy take special care of yourself and I hope that the next Dr. finds out the problem and corrects it. It almost sounds like a problem with...
I have raced against that one, it ran 12.40's. Was built by a bunch of guys in Owasso, Okla. they raced Tulsa and Mokan. A nice car. It was a...
What motor is in it?

Hi Dick you are making a lot of progress, I can't wait to see you and Bob Huberty (2-B) The MOKAN Champ, line up at MOKAN, maybe there will be a...
This one is an inside view of my McCloed Clutch and flywheel on my 11 sec. HA/GR. Slant 6. You can see that 6 into one header....
My Carb is period correct, It is a carter AFB, four barrel, 400cfm, from a 58 plymouth. You can run a carb from a p-51 mustang, if you want, I...
Hi Black Knight, what size is that Holden motor? I wonder if it is the same as a chevy or GMC?
You know that we will want pictures of it all hooked together.
Old28, The easiest way to tell a 235 chevy from a 261: The 235, the oil line on the left side is about a 3/8 inch hole and on the 261 that same...
Old28, that chevy is a 261, out of a 58 milk truck.
bobw, in the pictures above, Todd Martin, the tall one with the gold car, he and his new partner, Kieth Haney are the ones that will be running...
On the dyno at 6000 rpm 315.9 hp and at 4800 rpm 305 tork. Converter- TCI 4500 stall. A 3500 stall did not work. My best is 11.53 at 113. I have...
Hi bobw, there is another one that has a broken 302 GMC, I think that he is going to switch to a Chevy 250. And one more that is almost ready with...
That's just not right, 400 on the west coast, he is on the east coast. Shipping would eat that savings. But that looks like a deal to me.
Bobw, in that video listed above, I did win on paper. And I guess you did read that it was built to beat a friends fast bracket racer, and that he...
The workmanship on the Bridgewater car is second to none. The video listed above, it was not painted yet. But I still had the best view in the...
Hi Old28, sometimes it is a small world, the only time that I drove mine on the street, it was miles away from where mudflap261 lives, but a...
I am thinking transaxle-short coupled mid-engine. And pulling wheelies, unless it is long. What ever it is, when you get it to the track we will...
I did not look at his carb close, the car is so well built that you just stand there with mouth open. It even has about 4 in wide fenders along...
