We would be happy to have you attend the Northwood, IA hillclimb on the 10th of September. You could even come the day before and do a shop tour,...
Dave, it is only 720.6 miles from Bay City to Northwood, IA. See you on September 10 for the 8th annual flat hill climb.
I think you will find a bent valve. They had to grind or machine the seat in the first place, so a valve would have cleared the combustion chamber...
You have a very knowledgeable 4 banger person right in your area. I would suggest you contact Hugh Coltharp in Salt Lake City. He is a former...
We are planning on bringing our Riley 2 port powered sprint car. I don't expect it to be very fast. We just want to have some fun and not break...
I just thought everyone would like to know that the Weiand roadster is alive and well. It is still on the road, but it does have a flathead v-8 in...
Bobw, Gary Anderson is a good friend. We just had our winter 4 banger gathering at his place. We had about 50 diehard 4 banger guys there. We had...
bobw, I have followed your thread and really enjoyed it. I can't offer any specific information on the porting of a slant six. But I can offer to...
The patterns are now owned by Dean Robertson in South Dakota. The last time I talked to him they were for sale, along with all his casting...
I guess I am the token Hamber from Northwood. 4 miles from Minnesota, 7 miles east of I-35. We put on an early 4 banger speed meet on Sept. 11 in...
There is a gentleman named Carl Schmidt in Stockton who has sold old speed parts forever. Maybe that is who you are looking for, or at least a...
No I have not. I have thought about it over the years, but just never got around to it. I looked for an Olds 3 port head for awhile, but was not...
These cars in Northwood, Iowa are part of the annual FAST speedmeet held each year about September 11. We usually have folks from 6 or 7 states....
The T engine with the Weber carbs is not progressing well. Other projects got in the way. But I will get back on it later.
Rich, what throttle bodies are you using? It looks great. Are you going to run at World of Speed in 2010?
Interesting post. A while back I was visiting a friend in Des Moines, Iowa. While we were talking I noticed a small trophy on his shelf behind...
Thanks Bill and Stumpjumper, I have had the joy and the pain of deep hole drilling. A broken off 3/16 drill in the bottom of a 4" deep hole is...
Great thread. I have a couple of A cranks that I need to drill for oil pressure. It has been a long time since I have drilled one, and have lost...
Quote: any thoughts on removing all the guts from the T trans and only using the "high" as a clutch, then running a warford behind it... seems...
Here are some more pictures that may help in getting more information on this car. The steering outside support was part of a v8-60 connecting rod...
What a thread, I have been reading it for 2 months now, and am about 1/2 way through. I confess, I know nothing about sprint cars. I need help in...
I thought these pictures looked familiar. They are not of Joel Young's engine, but they are of mine. I am building it to run in a 27 roadster at...
Northwood, IA speed meet on the 12th of September. Some of you have mentioned the conflicts on the 12th. Mostly with the conflict with the...
It is a Studebaker. I am guessing a 31 or 32 Dictator. The President was a much larger car and had different bumpers and dual sidemount spares.
At one time we had some problems with FE engines if we installed a high volume oil pump. The oil drain back holes in the head were not big enough...
I am using the Model A crank and leave the rear full length. I am using Contenental and Onan bearings. I can't remember which one is on the rods...
Bobby, I know about your car and your lead foot. I spent some time in your pits at the salt last year, but you always had so many of your fans...
Fur Biscuit, I am not too swift on the computer and do not know how to download pictures. I do not have pictures showing much detail of the...
Thanks for the welcome. I actually have a partner who is putting the actual car together. It is a polyform glass 27 roadster body on a rectangular...
