Glenn's dragster thread
wideopen231:
Had a neighbor like that. Like Gleen we fired car cpl times a year at shop.This one evening(before 9 pm) we had trouble with trans mission and had fired car 3 times maybe minute each. He came over and complained. Then 3 months later came over while I was cleaning deer and asked if we had any extra deer meat. Want to guess the answer?
Paul New:
If I had neighbors like me that I would start my car more often!!!

Dragster Update 07 07 2018
Another chopped up video from pieces.
We are essentially out of time. Leaving for Norwalk to get it down the track on Wednesday.
GlennLever:
Dragster update. It is broke. After testing we saw in the data that it
was misfiring in the upper RPM. Randy of RPM performance suggested one
of the magnets in the degree wheel might be weak. We went to turn it
over by hand to check the magnets and found that the engine will only
turn over so far and then come up solid against something. We are in the
middle of preparing for a move so time is really precious, I hope, with
the help of Steve Walczak,
to do some investigation next week. (Pistons go up and down, valves go
up and down, converter bolts are tight, blower turns freely)) Al Robins
has suggested removing the rockers and trying again, we will also pull
the pump drive. After that the pan comes off. .
JrFuel Hayden:
check your cam belt drive, we had the same results as you, when we lost a couple of teeth on the belt.
Jessel says to replace the belt every time you have a "incedent" with the motor. The teeth got fractured when we kicked a rod out, when the trans broke and the engine went to 12K.
Good Luck !
