Carb Pad typically isn't level in relationship to the crankshaft. Most tilt forward for hood clearance.

Diggin this post up from the dead. A word to the alky racers. My brother bought some of those Quick Fuel bowls with the dual sight windows and put them on right before he sent his Holley 950HP to Rupert for a tune up. George calls him and tells him he doesn't like those bowls, to change them out...

My 9" is "narrowed" a little bit, but just to get the tires right where I wanted them. You can't go too much because you run out of room with the brakes/lower control arm. If you were gonna relocate the lower mounts, you might as well 4-link or ladder bar it.

You definately had something goin' on. Probably some moisture. I've never had an alky carb look like that. I use Rupert.

Re: I have no idea about alcohol. What would I need to conv Those "Racepumps" don't work. Tried one, it was junk. My BG belt drive has whatever fuel pressure at the finish line I want it to have. If I want 8, it's solid 8, if it's 12, it's solid 12. No jumping around. I also have just a...

I did a 2x3 Art Morrison 4-link Backhalf on my old Malibu. Was real nice. Went in easy. Nice, wrinkle free bends in the 2x3. I bought it already welded up, then installed from there. If I was going to backhalf another, I'd do a round tube.

I know. High gear only is quite the rage in No Box racing. It was also quite the rage back in the late 90's around here in regular ole delay box racing. I also know this, he don't have a glide that has a brake that will work in high. And to the OP...if you don't have the ability to pull a...

Transbrakes only work in low gear. If his won't hold. Pull the trans and take it to a reputable race trans builder.

You said won't hold in drive....won't hold in drive, or won't hold in low?

Re: I have no idea about alcohol. What would I need to conv A holley blue won't supply enough fuel, no matter what he says. We had 2 holley blues when we first bolted an alcohol carb on my brothers car in 1998 and the minute you left the starting line the fuel pressure went to 0. I ran a...

Re: I have no idea about alcohol. What would I need to conv The alky won't pick your car up much. It picks up slower cars a lot, and the faster you get the less it helps. My dragster ran the same on gas and alcohol. If you only race 5 or 6 times a year, and are worried about cooling it, buy...

Yes I do. It was 100+ again yesterday with a track temp of 141.

110 for the high in OKC yesterday. Never ran the fan. Love my Rupert Alky Carb.

I've never seen a successful alcohol racer using a regulator with any sort of vacuum reference. I think the best alcohol fuel system is a belt drive pump and either a diaphragm or poppet style return regulator. I use a diaphragm BG. People also have success with the big electric pumps and...

anybody know what size the tube is on the TRZ anti-roll? Do they offer any kind of MR.com or Yellowbullet discount? Race next 2 weeks, then have 2 off so will install one then, so will order next week or so. Also looking at the quarter max roll bar. My car is flat nasty in 60' and repeats...

If they won't sit in the water, usually there's a preload issue that needs addressed. When you start your burnout, do it like you mean it and get it up on the tire too

I run Klotz Uplon, and have never had any issues, and I NEVER drain anything. Pulled my car in the garage in October, didn't touch it until March and started it up and went and raced. My brothers car sat for over a year once...started up like a new cadillac. I've had years where I've went...

I don't deal with stock heads, but I'm pretty sure they machine that boss down a little bit when they set them up for screw in studs at the machine shop. I'd be taking them to a machine shop.

http://www.cachassisworks.com has some buildup pics somewhere on their website.

TH350 with a brake? You'll be old and gray before that thing works consistently on the starting line. I stage at idle, set the brake and it don't rock a bit. I got a Powerglide though.
