Glenn's dragster thread

GlennLever:
Valve springs are too weak!





Hopefully this is the final Engine install into the Front Engine Dragster

I believe this maybe the final time I put the engine into the Front Engine Dragster.

To do that the remote oil filter adapter must be bolted to the engine.

To do that -AN fittings need to be installed on the ends of new -10 hose.

I had intended to show the process of putting -AN fittings onto the hose in this video but it ran to long. I have done a separate video that shows that process, I put a card in the video at the appropriated point.

GlennLever:
NOTE...I state in the video that I do not know as much as I should and it comes through in the video. I'm also pretty tired. There is a major flaw in the comparison of the normal linkage and the Click-Fast, but it is still a great addition to tune up tools. The hex link has right and left hand threads for very fine adjustments.  But the click-fast allows you to make adjustments without having to carry two wrenches with you.

Put the Blower onto the Front Engine Dragster / Discussion on A/F mixture at idle with Click-Fast adjustment device (second half of the video).

We install the Blower on the Pontiac engine in the front Engine Dragster.

I give a small discussion on Air Fuel mixture and it's importance.

I describe a product called Click-Fast (I have no affiliation other than I am using the item) and it's impact on setting up the engine to idle smoothly.

The contact information for the guy that makes these devices is Mr. Ray Hadford,

He can be reached through his e-mail address at rayhadford@frontier.com or if you are courteous of his time zone (Pacific Standard Time)  (425)238-3235

A great Tuning Tool for the dragstrip

This video introduces a tuning tool that was introduced to me. I found it very helpful and thought I would pass the information on.

I was not paid or compensated in any way to present this information, just thought it was a good device and am passing the information on.

Glen,

Be glad its roots blower.Screw blower weighs about dbl.My old whipple was 142# blower only. Tip if you need to change idle each 1/8 pipe plug in hat is worth 250 rpm or close to it.That way you change idle speed w/o changing mixture.

GlennLever:
I do not understand 1/8 inch plug?
