History the Funny Car

  1. what diameter injector are you using they made them 2 1/16 up to 2 7/8 the nozzels are all matched to the fuel used 9a gas 20a alcohol 24 nitro etc. the barrel valve has a number on the end it tells you how the ramp is ground. bigger is for sure better with these old inj. if yours has the old disc couplers on the shafts while period correct they had a reputation for sticking at wot. let me know when you get that far. when set up correctly they work great and dont need too much maintenance.

    Deanie helped out with the history during the time he owned it sadly they lost all of their photos in a house fire a few years ago.

    My stepdad found an old 8.5x11 glossy of the Pink Panther with its wheels up. Raefel Shields is lettered on the fenders as doing the ch***is work and trans.
