« on: June 06, 2021, 07:09:41 AM »
If you use a standard relay the kill wire may come on and off as oil pressure goes up and down right at the pressure setting. Like turning the key on and off while engine is running!!! You should look into a latching relay. Stays off until 12v+ power goes away.

Greg......I know you do!!!! It was a general answer.... You will love the emersion. After we get home from a race aI will pull the valve covers and leave it plugged in for a couple of days to evaporate any alky left.

Electronics / Mechanical overspeed protection
« on: January 18, 2020, 11:45:18 AM »
We have a points mag with two tach drive ports.
We are looking for a mechanical, cable driven overspeed device. I found a article on a Syncro-Start overspeed governor. I was listed at 3000-3825 rpms. At 1/2 engine speed that would be 6000-7650. Not sure if we could even find one.
Anyone have any experience using on of these?
Thanks...

Spud Miller's Cave / K valve ???
« on: October 14, 2019, 07:00:07 PM »
Hi Spud.....a very strange thing happened this past weekend....
K-valve on 16-71 blower. We started the car for warmup and it sounded like it was missing. #1 cylinder was very weak at exhaust pipe. I checked compression and it was fine...changed spark plug and wire...no change. Richened the barrel valve from 75% (where it has been since day one) to 88% and it fixed it?
I did have to increase the butterflys a bit to get the idle RPM right.
I thought the idle check might have stuck open.....but it checked fine. Checked to make sure the arm on injector didn't slip. My one can is after the barrel valve. Checked it and it was fine.
Data from the runs shows good fuel pressure...same as past data.
What should I look at?

Front Engine Dragsters / Re: Rear End Coupler question
« on: June 05, 2019, 05:36:26 AM »
I put a LARGE flat washer on the trans. yoke to protect the seal from the yoke moving forward. It solved the issue on my car. Long tailshaft powerglide, rigid altered. I use two split collars on each end of the driveshaft to hold the couplers at 1/8" clearance. My driveshaft is considerably longer than yours.

Make sure you BLOW air into the engine....NOT SUCK it out. If the alky fumes get to the motor it may start a fire that will look like a jet engine !!!!
Ask me how I know !!!! LOL
