Greg, did you use regular Mobil 10W-30? My dad always used good old Valvoline 20W-50 conventional racing oil. It worked, but I noticed in my motors in which I used Mobil 1 that they looked like new on the inside when torn down. I am torn between Valvoline VR1 20W- 50 and Mobil one 10W-30. When I read that Reher and Morrison suggested using a synthetic 10W-30 race oil I was surprized.

Yes, that is how I have broken in my other motors- Valvoline straight 30 weight for start up and break in. Then change to Mobil 1 10w -30

Hi Guys, I really want as much imput as I can get. I have just built a 572 Keith Black Aluminum Chevy. I built it pretty much to mirror Reher and Morrisons 583 20 degree motor. My heads are Brodix BB2 + which are different, but everything else is pretty much the same. Reher and Morrison suggest using a syntheic 10w-30 motor oil.  I have used Mobil 1 for years in my trucks and cars with great suscess, but I am very interested in what you guys have to say.

I called FIE and talked to Spud- they have a relay designed just for this purpose. Thanks again for the help.

Lynn, I think your right, so no rocks for you.  Guys, I'll check out the relays. Thank for your replies. My truck is getting very close to be done. Thanks again everyone.

Gassers / I need your help- Magneto kill switch circuit

« on: February 20, 2020, 08:13:07 PM »

Ok, So here is what I have. I will have a Mag kill switch in my cab on my switch panel, but then I will need another Kill switch at the back of my truck for emergency shut off. I was thinking of a series circuit. Hot side of the coil to the positive side of the kill switch in the cab. Negative side wire from that switch to the back switch hot side, and negative side of the back switch to motor for ground. This way if either switch is switched off it kills the mag. Any thoughts?

I have always brought the rpm's up to where the truck or car wants to creep and then I bump in and hold it there until the light comes down.  I don't like flashing the converter too much as I have roasted the tires before, and that doesn't win too many races.

My truck weighs 3000 lbs. and should run 155-160 in the quarter.

I watched a video last night from 2017 at Famoso. The Anra looks like its right up my ally. What rule book do they follow? Is it the NHRA Heritage series rules?
