AutoD

Dietmar, The 1/2 degree makes sense for front chamber - I'll have to do some measuring once I get it started. I will check both the carb inlet and the fuel pumps. I think they have all been modified to use screw in hose fittings and not the stock pressed in fittings. If not, then I'll add it to my g...

AD Set-up

Dietmar, All makes sense. I looked tonight and the beam has caster marked as 3-1/2 - I assume degrees. A 1/2 degree is marked on top of the upper torsion arm and all wheels have 4 degree chamber marked on them. Seems like I have been given the basic set-up info right on the car. Here is a shot of th...

Z-Bar

Dietmar, That what I have, but I have about 4 holes on each "spindle" to choose from. I'll start with your suggestion - rear link to the upper rear hole and front to the upper front holes. I have to dug out the links and rod ends. He stated "they are in there" as we loaded about ...

AD Advice

I picked up the car late last night. The fuel cell is shot (foam inside is like dust), but the car has plenty of room for a replacement. Does anyone have a picture of how the z-bar connects and how it is set up. I'm assuming like a anti-sway bar, links loose with the car loaded with driver and fuel....

AD Advice

OK - you talked me into it. I am now a FV owner!!!! Hope to pick it up after the holiday weekend - it is 12 hour away, each way - UGH!!! I live in Pittsburgh, PA and race vintage with the VSCCA (maybe no more since they don't like any Vs other than Formcars), VSCDA and VRG. I go anywhere from NHIS o...

AD ADvice - not a 1964...

I was told it was a 1964. Being a 1967/68 would make more sense.

At least in the limted time I have been looking at pictures.

Thanks
Keith

AD Advice

Joe, I quess my main questions are (1) does it look correct for vintage (VSCDA) level of prep (z-bar, generator and etc). I know the pix don't show some of the areas (front of the engine - or is it the rear) for the generator. (2) Also - is there a standard fuel cell in these or would it be custom? ...

Autodynamics Advice

I'm not sure of the model - how many where there? Any good website that have AD history and info? I am told it is a 1964 that has sat for 8 years. And look to have z bar and other correct vintage equipment. Here are some pix: http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee258/KAL8MAN/1964AutondynamicsFront.jp...

Autodynamics Advice

I'm looking for someone with expereince with mid 60s Autodynamics FVs. I have found one that I would like to purchase but I know nothing about these. I did a complete frame off on my pervious vintage race car and usually outsource engine work, but do all the rest myself. I think it is a good deal at...
