John: Unfortunately, no. There is little that you or I can do to improve flow on a manifold. That is something that I leave to a select few. We'll assume that the carb is jetted correctly. That will definitely affect HP . Make sure that the gasket under the carb has a larger hole than the manifold- ...

John:

First find out what you have.

Flow tests on carb/manifold combinations are not expensive.

For those using the 009 distributor and the tiger tail points (white striped or 092) ,my supplier has informed me that Bosch will no longer be making these units. The 044 points will work, but the 092's have a slightly stronger spring and a longer wire and are preferred. So, get them from your sourc...

Barry:

Following your posts and I have to ask: a used slave cylinder. How old, from where, and might this be causing the problem?

Axel: Zu spat ! I was there in May. The parts that you refer to are: 1 and 2 are cross links. From the centers of the rod end on #1 the distance should be 22.5 inches. Number 2 cross link , the link is used to hold the primary cross link ( #1) and the vertical struts from twisting so there is no pre...

Dave: After speaking with the owner and after having a chance to look in my files, I am wondering if the cam wear might be due to some other issues and not cam lobe- lifter incompatibility. This engine that you referenced was rebuilt 4 years ago and had not been run since. We will never know the cau...

Fred:

Log on to the Interchange- there should be a message from a member that I have forwarded regarding the Vee Line issues you requested. He is having difficulty logging on so he asked that I contact you.

Let me know if you do not get my private message.

Dave: I would really like to learn more about this engine that has my name on it - where is came from, when it was rebuilt and what the person did to start up an engine that has been sitting for who knows how long. Any info you could provide would be appreciated. You have my address. Dietmar http://...

Dave: ONLY cam I ever lost ( and I do not use any special break-in oil) was a Web grind- having said that, I was also using a two piece lifter and they were not compatible with the cam. This was over 30 years ago. I am VERY careful when I remove lifters from an engine- being sure they go back into t...

Ironic that this is posted today- I just gave up my account with Freight Center after 10 years. They would give me a quote and then after the shipment, there would be an additional charge of $25 for phone calls, extra services, and the last reason was because the terminal that I was shipping to char...

It is a way to get your brake bias as close to "set" as possible without being on the track. Jack up the car and place it on 4 jack stands. If you do not have a "helper" you will need some way to apply the brakes. This is where the ratchet tie down comes in. I use something diffe...

Use the link to the 50th in the post above yours. Go to Schedule, then LUNCH. You will find: Anna DeCheke Qualls. Simply click on Anna's name and it will take you to her e-mail address.
Might be better than posting your request here.

Hope this helps

You should have a heavy wire 4-6 gauge from the starter- (fat terminal which takes an 8mm nut) to your kill switch. Another fat wire from the kill switch to the + terminal on the battery. There should be a push on connector from the solenoid to your starter push button somewhere in the cockpit. The ...

John: If the manifold and carb are the same ones that I tested in 09, for some reason I do not have flow numbers on them in my files. If they are the same, e-mail me the numbers and I will tell you if they can be improved or not. If they are NOT the same, the cost for flow testing the manifold and c...

I assume this is a dual shock set up- not the later mono shock. Could you send me a picture of exactly what you are referring to? I believe I know, but want to be sure. Also, send me a pic of the complete suspension as is (if the car is complete right now). The "extra" cross link has to pr...
