    Zampella/Ferrari/Double Fatality.

    It's not an issue going 35-45, when you go out of the tunnel at triple digits, you need to be on your game! Think about that being a right hand corner on exit and a cliff. There'd likely be a lot more casualties. The Subaru guy got REALLY lucky, could have gone a LONG way down that...

    Zampella/Ferrari/Double Fatality.

    Haven't been up there is 2 decades. Couldn't imagine the area having a limit higher than 40-45. The kicker is the break in those tunnels, your eyes go from light to dark, back to light briefly then dark. Really messes with light sensitivity at just the wrong time. Think cop with a flashlight...

    Zampella/Ferrari/Double Fatality.

    That Subaru video is exactly what you encounter coming out of that tunnel. Like looking at the sun, then bam you can see and the road is already turning left. You have to be turning as you exit the tunnel, if you can see the turn at speed, you are too late. Totally blind and hope nobody is...

    Biffle plane crash

    Distributor timing with .590 cam

    Start around 25*, might want more idle timing. Going to have to limit mechanical advance inside the distributor. Doubt it will run well at idle with less than 20* 4 speed makes life easier.

    Wiring Questions / Discussion

    My 2 cents Get as much load off the OEM harness as you can. Headlights, blower motor, AC compressor. It will help the system On OEM, DO NOT trigger engine compartment items using the wire that goes to the ballast resistor. Want the steering column and harness to go up in smoke. you'll kill...

    Mancini distributor and MSD 6AL question

    The destruction that are in the box might be a good start... :) Only deal is that you have to tie the wires that feed the ballast resistor together so the box is switched on in both start and run key modes. Some leave the balast and run a single wire to the msd small red wire. The MSD and...
