Yup...I wanna ride - trade ya rides when the Roadster's singin...
I've modded the PV and the carb so the PV seats properly in the carb; the issue is the PV valve disc is not seating properly on its own seat for...
Is anyone running a multicarb setup with ALL the PV's blocked? reason I'm asking is the 3.5 I'm currently running has such a light spring that...
Nahh - I'm just gonna make him come on out and pull the rear end a 2nd time; us old farts aren't as flexible as we usedta be. :D
thanks, Dick! when the shaft was shortened, it wasn't shortened quite enough - I've had to grind down the speedo drive gear splines to get it to...
Nope - i've had the tube off, too. The gear was in the box just like you said - but that was it. I'd recall seeing a bearing...
Flip-flops. Seriously - you've got to replace footwear every ten weeks if you have foot issues; the stuff that makes them shock absorbent breaks...
I'll look, but I don't recall seeing it.
No - I have teenagers. They explode on a regular basis; you get used to it.
that's what I thought - so I measured it up; it's square. About all I could come up with is the preload on the pinion gear would cause the shaft...
Dunno - the exploded view I had of the rear end didn't show a bearing there...I'll go get one.
guys - the driveshaft on the Track Roadster likes to run off-center - about 0.100" towards the 2-3 o'clock position when looking at the trans...
thanks, Mike! Tail light lamp story: I'd posted up here on tail light lamp choices - and bought a Cobra repop which looked pretty darned cool,...
Thanks for the info on the trans! Dizzy's a brand-new Mallory dual point with a fresh condensor - same goes for the coil. It's a new domestic...
I'd like that. It's been frustrating as hell seein' all these great shows that I've missed - and will continue to miss this year due to prior...
This I can explain: It's called the latent heat of evaopration; the change of phase from liquid to vapor literally 'pulls' heat out of the...
Here's where it's at now... took out the #51 jets; replaced with a pair of #60's - they loaded up the motor after about 15 miles of runnin'....

Lux - Actually, it's a pop -riveted together crapbox, and Dale is a photoshoppin' fool! JK... Thanks. I approached this build as a resto...
Guys - the car is nowhere near finished; there are a million things to be done..lots of finishing detail. Need to install about 200 sheet metal...
I done told you B4 - I'm a wrench, not shutterbug. Dale's a designer and takes waay better pix than me. Thanks. It's been fun so far -...
The Latest: Found a pair od #60 jets in the drawer. Installed 'em; took it for a spin. Rock steady temps both runnin' down the road and at...
