Spud Miller's Cave / Enderle Pump I.D. help
« on: December 21, 2020, 02:20:22 PM »
I was looking for something in my collection the other day and came across a new Enderle 80A I had stashed.
Problem is no paperwork and it is not stamped with a size.
Can anyone tell me what the idler gear width is on a 80A-1 so I can determine the size of this one?
Mine measures .601" wide.
Thanks!
Jeff

Justin is correct.
7.5 degree and 8 degree are the two common kingpin inclinations.
I believe Strange is 7.5 degree and everyone else is 8 degree.

The Ford Banjo can be upgraded to 28 spline axles as used in the 9" Ford.
Also a 9" Ford mini spool can be modified to fit in the Banjo carrier.
Hot Rod Works in Idaho can fix you up.
But you are still limited to Cackle Car status.

Spud Miller's Cave / FIE Rev-Limit Relay

Spud
You may have addressed this before, and if so, forgive me.
Can your Rev-Limit relay as you have it wired in the attached .jpg, be used as a two-step?
If you wired the 12v supply to both the Rev-Limit relay and the MSD 8950 thru either a separate button switch or your trans-brake button, wouldn't it act as a two step?

O.K. Roo, one more.....
Lets use the Mark Williams print as a referance...
The rear axle centerline is called out as 15" above ground level with a 33" tire with 3 1/2" ground clearance on the frame.
If you run a 33" M/T tire or equivalant all is good.
If you run a Goodyear D2585, 31x12x15 tire, they actually grow more than a 33" M/T, but setting there are about 31".
What would you set the rear axle centerline at?
Thanks!

How far out and what crankshaft angle/ground clearance are typical for the average altered chassis.
I know many Alky cars have the engine out 67"+ but not sure what crank centerline is, up, zero or down.
The Mark Williams F/C print has the engine out 63" and the centerline at the front of the crank is 10 1/4" from the ground, which would be down in the front. Chassis ground clearance is 3 1/2".
The S&W altered print has the engine out 62 1/4" and centerline at the front of the crank is 13 5/16" from the ground which would be zero. Frame ground clearance is 4 1/2".
Any input is appreciated.

Spud Miller's Cave / Q.D. coupler used for Primer Bottle
« on: May 25, 2017, 06:25:42 AM »
On injected fuel motors, many use a bottle or box to start the engine on Alky then switch over to fuel once warm.
What quick disconnect coupler do they use between the bottle and the distribution block?
Brand and/or size?
See attached borrowed photo.

« on: March 24, 2017, 06:21:21 PM »
A normal aspirated nozzle holder would have the hole outside the the hat or port.
These would be pulling the air from inside the hat or port.
