Re: Wheel cover ban
I still believe that if Kohanski had come out with "monster-mannies" they would still be legal......[/quote] That is an uninformed statement. You need to go back and look through the minutes of the FV Committee. I did not attend most of the FV Committee sessions when manifolds were discuss...

Re: VDF vs. Citation?
The Citation and Citation XTC-41 are excellent cars. Fast, easy to work on, great support from Larry Campbell and they fit a wide variety of drivers. The main difference between the guys in the front and the back. Preparation! Just a side note: A Citation XTC-41 holds the track record at Blackhawk F...

Re: Shipping a FV cross country
HI Mark, You might contact some moving companies like Allied, Mayflower etc. You might be able to work a deal where they have a truck going cross country that might have some space available. Tell them you will drain the gas and oil. I had a friend back in the 80's who had a citation delivered from ...

Original 1200 Push Rod Length
Can someone tell me the factory push rod length for an original 1200 push rod in inches. Example 7.580 These are the push rods with the big aluminum ends.
This measurement is not the same as the stock 1600 push rod that we currently run and shorten to achieve max lift.
Thanks
Mike
