    Ways to fix vapor lock without a return line

    I don't think you have the gist of this. This thread is about vapor lock, and the fixes for it. Those fixes have nothing to do w "pre-detonation".

    Easy start

    Yes, '80 for Suzuki. '79 for Honda. I put electronic ignition in mine, header and jetted it. The engine has never been apart. Once warm, can Kickstart by hand. Dyno'd at 75hp from basically a stock '79 750cc. Pulls till 12,000rpm.

    Air-fuel ratio calibration setup

    I use the AEM on my turbo jet boat, 700+hp from 281 C.I., it has to be accurate to avoid leaning out under hard boost. Your issue is going to be drilling and welding an O2 port on every exhaust. They do have drill and clamp on adapters, but still a pain for diagnostics. I'd do a search for the...

    GRaveyard Kars

    In my opinion, nothing but staged drama throughout. And yes, I have a chip on my shoulder, I don't appreciate any car that has been "fully" restored, or "fully" resto-mod by a shop. Again, my opinion, if you can't work on them, don't have them.

    They get money not just for how many viewers but for how long. That's why they are all dragged out.

    What can you reasonably expect for fuel economy?

    O/D's became the norm after the 70's fuel crisis and the government mandated better mileage from manufacturers. Then in 1988 when the federally mandated 55 mph was done away with and cars were cruising at 80, not 60. That necessitated super high rear gearing or an O/D. My '67 383 TF727 w 2.9...
