Glenn's dragster thread
opa1:
Congrats on the new place! Looks really nice. You'll have more room and can fire up the dragster without the po-po coming to visit. :)
GlennLever:
Yes.

Glenn - very exciting. After 21 years it's difficult to leave a home with memories and plus you have much invested, yet I'm very happy for you and your wife's new adventure. The new workshop is huge, and may I add "doing a 60' burnout indoors is something you will remember forever" not that I'm suggesting it : ) Alan

Dragster Update 09 06 2018
First off, Steve thanks for your help once again.
In this video, we install a converter to step down the voltage out of the 16 volt Turbo Start battery to 12 volts. This was done to run the filament bulbs on 12 volts so they would not be very bright and hot.
This allowed us to remove the small trailer break away battery we were using and install a fuel primer pump in that location.
We also started the engine for the first time after the latest rebuild. Set the timing on the mag and the crank pickup.
Once the engine was hot we were able to set the valve lash (this is an aluminum block and also has aluminum heads).
Another mystery was discovered, which we do not have a clear answer to. Your input on that mystery is welcome.
