I wear a -15 as well. And being in the same area as you, I've had none of the local tracks ever check anything on my clothing or the car itself.

Front Engine Dragsters / Tires
« on: May 23, 2023, 04:44:24 PM »
What's out the for tires that suit a FED that are actually available and in stock? I had been using the Mickey Thompson 33-10.5w-15 until I picked up a nail and ruined a tire. Now I can't find anyone that has a pair in stock. I really need the 33" diameter for ground clearance. Is anyone here running Hoosier 18242 DO5 tires?

I have Richmond lightened and polished 4.20 gear in mine. runs upper 4.70's 1/8 mile. So far so good. Not sure I would have spent the extra $ if I were buying new gears, but I got such a good deal on these that I had to give them a shot

I'm no help with pictures, but you can use a morse cable and it will also allow you to pull the throttle shut in event of a return spring failure. On my car the cable just loops around from the pedal and up in front of the engine. Pust the carb on backwards and cable pulls from the front of the motor. Works smooth as silk and was very simple to setup

This was a while back. I got the belt figured out and ran the injection only to find my little eelco tank to be way too small for alky. I need to find someone in this heneral area to fabricate a fuel tank for my car so I can get the injection back on there.

You stick the copper wire between the rod and camshaft to make sure there is enough clearance

I messaged them last night and was told it was just going to be a Chicago style deal for the fuel cars plus the regular bracket race. No other nostalgia racing

Dan Dishon's Transmission Den / Re: Powerglide or 3-speed?
« on: May 03, 2021, 04:34:44 PM »
I agree with low HP and the very mild 3.23 gear a 3 speed transmission would be a help, I'd leave that 200 alone. Parts for it going to be pretty pricy to do any upgrades. I'd just grab a TH350. The savings on parts will likely more than offset the difference in the cost of the core transmission
