Just curious at this point, but I've heard from several folks that the aluminum case is "quite a bit heavier" than the mag case.
Wondering what constitutes "quite a bit"? Couple of pounds? 10 pounds?
Thanks!

The inside pipe wrench is exactly what to use. When I had the same issue, and had no luck with the screwdriver method, a local, nationally regarded transmission builder and FV guru graciously loaned me his "officially sanctioned and specifically engineered tool" for the problem. Yep, you g...

CAR HAS BEEN SOLD

Interestingly, I pulled one that was square out of a FormCar that I was trying to restore. Actually, the ends were square bar stock and the center section (about 18" or so) was turned into a (kind of) round section. Looked like it might have even been done with a grinding wheel...certainly not ...

Check with Bob Lybarger at LRE. He usually has a quite a few used rims and if you're willing to do some clean up and paint, they're usually very affordable.

Where are you located in the Chicago area?

FVArtist has it right. I run a vintage Zink and the front beam has the horns removed. The holes in the upright from the horns provided a nice place to run brake lines on this particular car. The downside is that FVArtist says, you do need to put blocks between the turkey legs and horn stub or other ...

That would be correct...vintage rules (in all groups that I know of) do not allow electronic ignition. Points / condenser units only. Given our hp / generator / fan setup, I've never seen much of a disadvantage to this. The added benefit is that I still can use my '52 Chevy teenage-acquired skills o...

What is your location?

Mike...Check for a PM.

Unfortunately, Pertronix won't help with my vintage car (illegal).
Any other suggestions before I buy an AutoMeter this winter?

"Re: Losing Power..." "Post by halifax on Tue Sep 08, 2009 8:31 pm Since it was mentioned as a diagnostic rule out earlier in this thread, what are the causes of a jumping tach? Mine gets very bouncy at the higher RPMs." Re: Jumping Tachs Mine does the same thing above about 400...

Y'know, it seems there is just no limit to the ways F1 (Bernie and Max) can find to alienate, aggravate, get further from touch with, disappoint, astonish, bewilder, (OK, I'll quit but could go on for a long time) their fan base. I guess the concept of "fair use" for the purposes of analys...

Nicely done! Glad to see the info on the Zeitler Vees! Keep up the good work on your car and hang in there!
Been there and done that myself.

Just curious...in reading the SCCA GCR quote you listed...where do you get that just a Nomex undershirt (not full coverage)will suffice with a single layer suit?

I'm sure that Bob Shedd will chime in on this. The rear engine cover of the car and a lot of the detail features are an exact match for an Autodynamics that I just sold. Check the " Vees for Sale" section of the Interchange and you will see some photos of the car I sold. Bob Shedd told me ...

Looking for both rear (engine/trans) body pieces for a vintage Zink C-4. Either standard or "speedway" engine covers are fine.
Also interested in nose section if in very good conditon.
Thanks!

I run with VSCDA and we follow (?) Monoposto racing rules for car prep. The question mark means that some folks don't seem to closely follow the rules. Most do, I think, even though there are some that will do anything for a couple of horsepower. Here's what the Monoposto Vintage Vee Class Spec says...

As I look at the frame in question again... Wouldn't it be pretty hard to get your legs in and feet down to the pedals in this frame? Look at the braced crossbar just below the steering/dash support. Can't imagine how that would work unless the photo perspective makes something seem to be somewhere...

Please see my ads under "Formula Vees" section of Interchange for an Autodynamics roller and McNamara chassis and bodywork.
BOTH CARS ARE SOLD

If interested in either, contact me at: teds300@sbcglobal.net for photos via email.

Along the lines of posting photos...

Could someone refresh me on how to do it on the forum without using a link to a photo site? I read the instructions in the FAQ but could not make it work when I tried. I'd like to post a for sale item with photos.

Thanks!

I can add to Jim's comments that as a result of a loose battery terminal and an unexplained (until after a lot of troubleshooting) dead engine coast up to a flag stand two laps from the end, we added "Battery Terminal Tightness"
to our checklist.
