Went to the semi's today. Was late in rd 5 but had room to get it done. Caught him with 10 feet to the finish. Broke out by .009 taking too much stripe .022 ( 3' 11").

Fridays 16 car shootout was going to be difficult. Knew I had to be on my game. Plenty of hitters looking to grab the $3200 purse. I was close in rd 1, -.001 red. On to today. Won 3 rds and was paired up against my buddy Dave. For rd 4. Ive worked on his car quite a bit. It spun all yesterday...
The deck surface variation is way over spec. You didn't mention is it was the head or the block. Either way it needs to be addressed. A tip; after torquing the bolts loosen each in order and pull to full torque. The fastener will allways move further.

I've run some pretty grooved pumps. If the housing and reaction shaft support aren't scored never had a pump pressure issue. The outer rotor should have .004-.008 clearance to the case. Clearance from the tip of the inner rotor tip to the outer gear is .005-.010. The end clearance is...
NDRL is non profit. They provide the purse funded by sponsers. All entry money paid ($150 per car), all spectator gate, and concesions all are kept by the track as profit. Mty bet is there were my close to 150 entries. So it isn't like they didn't make money. Bowling Green and St Louis prep...
Went to NDRL race #3 at Indy. Test on Thhursday. Track was horrible. 60fts have been a solid 1.29x EVERYWHERE on the 9.25 tune. Here the first two hits 1.388, 1.380. No wheels up. Just fishtailing. Gave up as the track staff promised better on Friday. Had to have a good qualifing run early as...
Powermaster makes a wide variety from all manufacturers. Later model Mopars that used Denso stuff is good. It bolts on with minimal mods and uses the stock wiring. Thought I'd add a new output cable to the battery. I run both styles The race car has a GM 10SI Powermaster 145 amp 16 volt. Street...
I'd run it as is. Hard shift isn't going to hurt anything. It'll be safe and last forever. If you swap the VB it'll need kick down parts. If the rear pump parts and governor parts are missing it'll need them as well. 65 race trans are a nitch item. Got to find someone who runs them. I'm assuming...
Pull the pan. Make sure the cam on the throttle pressure shaft is installed correctly pushing the kickdown valve in when you move the lever. If that looks good? Pull the valve body and check the throttle valve, spring, kickdown valve, and guide for proper installation. Good? Look at the throttle...
Not uncommon for clear filters to see air. If there is fuel in the filter I would question if thats the issue. When it quits does it have spark? Will it start with a spritz of carb clean in the carb? In over 50 years of building hot rods never had one vapor lock.

You alway move both wheels in the direction the wheel is off. In your case the wheel is off to the right. So think of it like this. The wheel needs to be rotated counter clockwise to be straight. With the car setting still do just that. Now you will see with the wheel straight the tires are...
Do you have a push button valve body? Or is is a floor shift 64/column shift 65 valve body? The rooster comb, manual valve, and nuetral switch are different between the two types. The wrong valve body can be easily convertered by swapping the correct rooster comb, manual valve. neutral safety...
