I know where that limiter resides. Mine has not only all the firewall holes welded but the air intake for the heater in the right A pillar and the rubber drain plugs in the floor pan. Good fire protection is something that many don't think about, but they should. car also has a 10lb fire system...

From the results I've seen with throttle pressure cable vs linkage there always seems to be a lot of trouble getting then to function as intended. This is my 2 cents Full back on the lever will give the highest line pressure. If it shifts where you like it at wide open throttle, then that part...

Thinking outside the box Chad Weber took the no ladder format to his advantage in Super Comp. He and his dad hurried up to be first in line in staging so they could run each other. His dad left before the tree activated on purpose giving Chad a free time shot in rd 1. He ended up winning the...

During my dealership days I was the suspension guy. Worked very closely with our body shop doing the parts replacement on a lot of wrecks. Though I didn't do the pulling I was involved in more than one that didn't get pulled far enough. Always pull it as close as you can get it before removal...

I'd like to see a larger picture od th eentire set-up. As I remember this shifter a rear exit cable design and uses a bell crank to swap cable direction. Is this what you have? I believe we extended the line outside the bracket. Doug

I believe those were done by Westlake. I know a guy that worked at Koffel's that was a local oval guy. He had a pair that he raced with. Doug

Use the 3 prong neutral safety switch. Connecting the outer 2 pins to power and the reverse lights will activate them. I was all exicited when I built my car. Found a factory push button reverse switch ( it was original a 3 speed manual) and was going to make reverse lights functional. Then...

The K frame in my car has been heavily tested. 1250 runs over 13 years with wheelies every pass. The flanges were trimmed and tack welded as is was cut. A hole saw was used to make a nice radius for the oil pan cut out. Two oversized inserts were tacked into the oil pan cut out. Then trimmed for...

Never checked the cranking compression. I was originally shooting for 9.5-1. But my machinest cut the heads a touch to much. Doug

I built a 440 for a friend. He wanted it near stock with a very smooth idle. Used quench dome pistons. Equalized the depths of all the open area of the chamber. set it at .040" quench. Did the bowls and put 30 degree intake seats in them. Used a small 214@ .050" cam. Stock intake, carb, air...

Fitting the alternator isn't to bad. If the water pump housing is milled the thickness of the plate all the pulleys will still line up. If using a plate use no gaskets. RTV only works perfect. If you want to move the motor a little for more clearance that is easy as well. Jerry Stein showed me a...

I'd put a motor plate in it. Then any K frame will work. 6 cylinder ones are cheap. Doug

We run lots of stuff with no time trial. But usually have been there the day before. That being said with good weather prediction most can get get pretty close. Are the Pro classes doing the same thing? Doug

Circuit; Battery + to ignition switch. Then power out on the yellow wire thru the bulkhead to the starter relay. The relay has battery + on the large stud. The black wire in the corner of the starter relay is grounded at the neutral safety switch when the shifter is in N or P. The brown wire on...

After working in the auto repair field for over 30 years my carreer changed paths somewhat. Went to work at Chrysler Engineering in the electrical garage at CTC. What an eye opener. My job was to repair prototype car build electrical faults. You got to see it all. Wiring mistakes buried deep...

If they are stock pistons and rods on an aftermarket crank it's going to be tough to balance. Those cranks are generally conterweighted for wedge pistons and aftermarket rods. My 4.500" stroke/4.530" wedge with a 7.100" steel rod is 2367 grams. With a lighter piston and thinner pin it was 2222...

Looks like it was all in the first 330. You guys were better the rest of the run. Was he in a touch deep? Didn't appear to be. Doug

I love making close runs. Had a couple of wins this year by a .001 stripe. Very familiar with the wind as well. My 64 sedan with a 5" Hemi style scoop doesn't like head winds very much. Especially at close to 150. God hasn't taken very good care of me as well. Doug

So if it's got a scalloped flex plate the converter isn't a factory counterweighted converter. In that case ther is no way of knowing how many splines. It could be oringinal 19 spline, or swapped to modern stuff. If it were me I'd get 67 up spline coveter as the pickings of 18 spline are slim...

Met Greg last year at Norwalk. Nice guy and a good racer to boot. Doug
