Glenn's dragster thread
Paul New:
I didn’t think 7.0 Pro allowed 2 or 3 steps? Have you checked the rules
GlennLever:
Yes, I have checked the rules.
I bought the three step as it was $10 more then the two step.
I will only be using two of the limiters, one for the trans-brake (launch) and the second for the high limit (engine over rev protection).
The third step could be used for the burn out, but as I someday would like to go to the March meet will not use it for the purpose.
Rules.
"ALL DELAY BOXES/THROTTLE STOP CONTROLLERS MUST BE REMOVED PRIOR TO QUALIFYING. If you are caught you will be disqualified from race event. All runs prior to that will be thrown out. Throttle stop cylinders may be left on car as long as air supply is removed and the device is disabled. THIS WILL BE POLICED IN THE LANES IF YOU HAVE ONE. Automatic shifters are allowed. Two step or three step rpm controllers are allowed, but only for the control of burnout, launch and maximum rpm. A Start Line Enhancer (SLE pneumatic cylinder) may be used in lieu of an electronic launch rpm control device, however it must be directly wired to the transbrake button and not the ignition box."
Just as a comment. I am disappointed that they allow "Automatic shifters". My feeling is the driver should initiate the shift.

This video started back on February 24, in the Car Nuts Meeting. At that time a conversation was held between Ken Long, Jim Boehly, and myself. In that conversation the new Control Cable Arm for the top of the Master Power Switch was discussed.
Jim took on the task of machining that arm from scratch. Without that arm, this project could not have been completed.
This video covers the creation of the bracket to hold the new switch, and positions it slightly forward of the original switch. By moving it forward the control lever in the cockpit is put into a better attitude, and provides more mechanical advantage.
GlennLever:
In this video we located a place for and install the Points Box for the Mag, the Three Step box, the RPM Trigger box, the Tachometer Signal Generator and the battery into their finial locations.
In addition we route the oil lines for the remote System 1 oil filter and connect the filter. I will generate a separate video on how to connect the hoses to AN fittings
GlennLever:
In a couple of videos posted by -AN fitting sellers, they assemble these fittings very quickly and with ease. In one, in six minutes they assemble three different styles. It takes longer in the real world.
In this video I show what it really takes to assemble AN Fittings on Braided Hose . I cover the basics of cutting braided hose lines and installing -AN fittings on the ends of braided hose.
I also have the 101 basics on my web site at this link
