Drag Racing Discussions > Front Engine Dragsters
What did you do on your Front Engine Dragster TODAY?
Dolmetsch:
I fired up the Sr Dragsters Slant six to check the new tach install. (Thumbs up)I did a small thing to the ignition had been putting off since last year. Then I turned my attention to the other rail, the 318 Poly deal. I turned on my small foundry and melted some aluminum muffins to pour a steering adapter for the steering shaft of unknown origin. Then I machined it and stuck it in its home for a pic. This method gave me a proper spline for the shaft . I used masking tape to get enuf clearance and pressed it snuggly into the splines. Turned out pretty good I thought.
