what pump for nitro
jims:
i have a fed.jr.fuel nostalgia cackle car, what hilborn pump & nozzles should i use,what spark plugs to you recommend
AF150:
Kinda depends on engine size & percentage of nitro...dash 1 pump would work for just cackle along
with most any cool heat range plug. If you try to race, it's way more critical. Spud Miller (on this forum)
has a calculator that will get you in the ballpark and help you set the leakdown of your barrel valve.
jims:
it is a 383 sbc.50% ntiro
Alkydigger:
If it's under 410 cu in and under 70% nitro a tested dash 1 pump will be fine 7.0 gpm.
Nozles will ultimatly depend on the pump, compression, heads, and size of the throttle bores.
With nitro % you should call me for calculations, with just alcohol it is a lot easier.

IF YOUR HAVING TROUBLE FINDING A CORRECT PUMP ARE YOU SURE YOUR READY FOR FUEL ? ITS NOT FOR BEGINNERS AND CAN GET VERY COSTLY VERY QUICK. THATS WHY ITS CALLED POP OR "NITRO" CREW ON SOME FUEL TEAMS AND LET THEM TEACH YOU FIRST. JMO
