UPDATE on the Fly saga.........

Just hung up the phone with Hilborn.
I sent in my pump to have it flowed and new injector lines fabbed. The guy told me that the pump wouldn't even register on the flowmeter when it hit the door.
He overhauled the pump and fabbed the new lines. I should be back in business soon.

HAMB DRAGS OR BUST

 

That's Great! How long till you'll be able to test it out for real?

 

That sounds encouraging.

Hope you knock 'em dead this season. Keep us posted.

i'm looking forward to seeing the fly - fly

 

Cool!

Glad to hear you got the gremlin's gone...

Are you still going to run the little motor? Or are you going to step up to something bigger?

Sam.

 

the saga ends? hell... its just begun...

remember, bigger is always better... at least thats what SHE said

Very helpful and knowledgable folks.

What was wrong with the pump...? Old age...? Your modifications...? Your dads modifications...?

I thought those things were bullet proof...!

Glad to hear some thing is moving foreward on the "Fly"...!

Mark

 

Hey Root thats great news. I can't wait to see the Fly run again.

 

good to hear... i was wondering if the fly would make its p*** on the trailer behind the pick up this year

 

i was going to say something...........but i cant bring myself to do it

 

Crossed my mind as well...!

 

The 265 stays until I get the car shook down good. There's a guy I know that is SUPPOSED to be looking for some race parts for a little bigger motor.......

The pump was S/N 434....they are somewhere around 20,000 now. The pump had never been apart so Vern, their tech guy hooked me up and o/h the pump. I also ordered the new nozzle lines to finish it off. That way everything is new and there should be no room for gremlins.

As far as times, I hate to speculate....at this point anything under 15 seconds is gravy......

 

HAMB drags please Root. I don't think we really need to see you runnning around without a shirt on.

Cool buddy, hope this is the fix you were looking for

 

Can't wait to see what happens on the track!

After reading this... my guess is he's stopped looking for you...

Sam.

 

if the guy thats SUPPOSED to be looking for you quit, let me know. i seem to be knee deep in forged 13-1 pistons and forged rods right now

 

What do they fit homey?

 

SBC, HOMEY?,whats a homey?

 

They look like .030 CNC forged pistons for a 350 Chevy and 5.7" I beam rods to me!

Sam.

 

i wonder if he meant homely............................

 

Man I wish I could see the .030 overbore. I thought for sure they were .020's.

 

ROOT glad to see yer gettin things figgered out.Vern has been a ton of help for Me in the past.And the prices arent that bad ya think ? ---Feder
