Front Engine Dragsters / my fed crazyness....with cert

« on: September 12, 2014, 08:00:41 AM »

bought fed that prior owner said "probably won't cert" so low 10's is fine with me, bought it

been running a year no problems.

last trip to bakesfield tech said "I need a cert to run low tens"

called NHRA tech in indy they said I need a cert for low tens....10.20's

called division 7 tech, also told I need a chassis cert, made an appointment.

tech came out and cert'ed the car to 7.50

tech guy left and called back 1 hour later and said I don't need a cert, I could peel the cert off and sent it back and get my $240.00 back

I said i'll keep it if that's ok,

tech guy was super cool about it

Front Engine Dragsters / Re: Is 3/16" coupler movement too much?

no trimming, just a old shock bushing from the top of a stud type mounting...gives it a little cushion.

« on: May 30, 2014, 09:20:40 AM »

just changed the gear ratio in my 8 3/4 olds and after getting it back together thought should I have greased the coupler? wasn't any in there when I took it apart, but should it have some?
thanks in advance
