Don't know about Peter But Scotty has already told me he has never wanted to drive a FED. Ain't nobody putting htis thing in winners circle except CHRIS. Going with fairly loose converter and running 14" wide tire,not big but more than most fed's run and 6600 stall(target for new converter anyway).
I did not spend past 3 years scrimping my butt off to put someone else in seat. I built chassis,build motors,building trans piece by piece now and will drive win ,loose or draw its all on me and I like it like that. Now if someone else wanted to pay I'm ok with that.LMAO
Been while since drove anything without blower and clutch,but I might remember how to do it.Last glide I drove was 1988 in 66 Nova 454 injected with tube chassis me a dad built from Alston kit. I could put 5 or 6 runs down and be within .01 and not auto shift,no sle.Just my foot controlling rpm and hand shifting when motr felt and sounded right.I think thats what they called driving.Heck 6 runs 1 night and had 5 dead on the same to .001. Not saying past 26 years of headsup balls to the wall racing hasn't made the idea of lifting hard to handle. If drivers problem I'll kick his,well you know.
One thing I have noticed larger portion of guy with FED's and nostalgia stuff all seem to do more work themselves,maybe why not a cookie cutter as most bracket and class cars are.
