Re: You and your ride... Post it here get to know everyone..
Probably, the black and white car is the one I finished 3rd back in '07, 17th in'08, and 17th in '09, and the one I S/C with a top-end stop(8.90@126mph) in 2010, '11 '12, '13. I am going this sunday for the Nat dragster challenge. Maybe I'll see u there, stop over.

Re: Strange M/C B3360 Gasket Question?
I forgot to ask, what type of M/C are u using? If it is like a stock type with the large reservoir in the front and the small in back thats a disc/drum M/C. If it has two about the same size, then it needs the proportioning valve to reduce the pressure to the rear brakes even if has discs on the bac...

Re: Built powerglide and4500 stall on the st?
I was reading all the posts and nobody said anything about wether the motor could be lean. The engine that gets lean at partial throttle will heat up and will not kool down if u try to move a lot of water that doesn't have time to spend in the radiator. Nobody likes thermostats but they are a necess...

Re: Strange M/C B3360 Gasket Question?
the valve should be in the line that goes to the rear brakes. I guess u have disc front and drum rear, or disc all the way around. the purpose of the valve is to not put equal pressure on the front and rear brakes that will cause lock up of the tires. Usually u want 60-65 percent front and 35-40 to ...

Re: You and your ride... Post it here get to know everyone..
Yes, it seems like a good bit of ribbing going on, but probably all in good fun. I used to own a 68 chevelle malibu sport coupe that I bought brand new with a 327/325hp 4sp 3.55 posi grotto blue, also had a 66 nova, a 67 nova SS, 65 nova SS, a 69 nova, 57 64 67 corvettes, and a host of others, now I...

Re: NHRA Mandated Collector Tethers? WTF?
I have a dragster with downswept headers with mufflers welded to the collecters and a support brace bolted to the rear of the cyl head to the muffler and 4 tabs on the collecter/tubes and that is still not good enough for the 2014 rule, I was told by NHRA tech inspectors in an email that I still hav...
