[IMG] My fake gasser thing as I bought it. 283/glide/Borg Warner rear and standard Anglia front. Slowly collecting parts to make a proper racer....
As said above we got all 3 cars over 200. The bellytank went 203 driven by 19 year old Kurt Dunn, the taxi did 203 also before it had engine...
A group of us are bringing 3 cars out from Australia. A 1968 Holden Monaro, a 2000 model Falcon and a bellytank The Monaro [IMG] Its run...
"Oh shit what was that scraping sound?!?" "Don't worry you'll get used to it" :D Even filling the tank from empty they drop an inch in the rear
I was gunna say 2 coils front and back. Thats how mine is and it sits level. I think I took the pinion snubber off to give it a little suspension...
Well in that case it makes perfect sense... :D P.S. this thing is fucking awesome. If it does wind up killing you at least it will be a fun way...
I know this is a shit of a thing to say after you cut the rear quarters off the body, but have you considered narrowing the body through the...
When you changed your belts around did you change water pumps? The serpentine system uses a reverse rotation pump as the belt spins it the...
How big is the cam you plan to run? If it has a decent amount of overlap and you setup the engine with good deck heights and tight quench...
It is true. Not so much for the hydraulics of it but for flat tappet lobes and lifters. Its especially critical during cam break in but can't hurt...
For what its worth (fuck all) I really like the 'dull old enamel' look. For a car that is built with slightly weathered chrome and an interior...
Alternatively you could use a tachometric relay. Basically a relay that needs a signal from the ignition coil before it will supply power. So...
Only if he wants to get searched for drugs all the time lol
I wouldn't fill the pump with grease just coat the gears or you may cause a blockage. Petroluem jelly is a good idea it should break down in the...
Grease on the pump gears ususally helps them prime but you shouldn't lose prime once it picks up. Get a pressure gauge on the engine and pull the...
I reckon big and littles would give it some attitude and nail the 60's look with the ladder bars, small block etc...
I reckon he's had that many 'encounters' with rego over the years they probably lock the place when they see him coming and slide the plates under...
Fuck this! I'm moving to Melbourne...
You really do have to pick your customers. You can't bend over backwards for everyone because alot of the time you will get taken advantage of....
On the foam... It works pretty well and is used alot in the square boxy race style fuel cells. I would recommend buyng the proper stuff as it is...
Or even a barrel valve/tap. Shut it off when you leave the car to sit, open it before you start it
Hey man, had the same problem awhile ago with a customers Mustang trying to get it rego'ed for the first time in Australia. Ended up having to get...
Also funny is when you get pulled over by the policeman in your LHD car... and your fairly drunken passenger, who is sitting on the 'right' side...
Still have to drive on the left side of the road though... :)
That happened to me about 2 weeks ago, except mine was an intake and further investigation revealed the heads were, well, fucked. New set of...
Hmmm... happened to me about 6 months ago with my 65 Caddy. Bonnet (hood) is so heavy it sits all the way down even if not latched. Got to about...
Thankyou.
If its the same as a 65 (think so) the stock carb runs a cast iron base plate and the exhaust crossover runs exhaust gas right up to and around...
I run this type of setup in two of my cars. One I run out of the bottom plug of the ipod and through a volume control then to the amps. One four...
Personally I think Holleys are probably best. I've seen people run 2 600 double pumpers on smallish engines. I think the accelerator pump is the...
