What did you do on your Front Engine Dragster TODAY?

Not planing on checking valve lash with-out taking the fuel system apart ?, I agree with fuel pump location will be a problem.

Getting fuel lines and pump set up. Getting close.

Nice job on that mirror finish on the motor plate!

finished detailing the old girl for a stint in a Museum. she's been sitting covered up in my garage for years, better she sits where  she can be viewed,enjoyed and maybe teach a thing or two to some  of the young  dudes about how they got it done in the early days.

I think I've finally got my 180" FED ready for an initial outing.  Below are some learnings and modifications made since I bought the built but never raced car earlier this year:
     New slicks and tubes (Hoosier 14.5 x 32.5")
     New safety belts
     Installed a gasoline primer system to improve starting
     New starter
     Converted to a 16 volt system (battery & charger)
     Replaced bad launch controller
     Cleaned out jets, lines and nozzles
     Removed 19° caster from the front axle (41° to 22°)
     Removed friction from steering system:
        Straightened bent shaft from steering wheel to box.
        Loosened, drilled and pinned the nut on the idler arm.
        Replaced rod ends on the tie rods (seized and/or tight balls).
        Modifed the transfer arm to remove drag (replaced standard bolt with a shoulder bolt)

 I will be going to National Trails Raceway outside of Columbus, Ohio on Wednesday July 26th.  I hope to post some pictures soon.

Thanks to all of you folks who answered my newbie questions.

Ran it last night at a test and tune. Finally got it into the 4's.( 1/8 mile) Granted only a 4.96 but I've been at 5.00 for the last two outings. Now it's time to start on a real race motor.

Hello,

I’m running an online survey for a research project, as I want to learn more about consumer decisions when it comes to buying an auto engine in the USA. The survey is short, extremely easy, and consists of opinion-oriented answers that are based on your personal experience of buying an.

I’d be extremely grateful if you could help me out by taking 5 minutes of your time to complete the survey? I will pay you a $10 gift card (by email) uponsurvey completion and I will also share my evaluation report, which may be able to help you with future purchases and give you good color of the industry in general.

The link to the survey is below.
