Spud Miller's Cave / Pump notchy ?
« on: September 27, 2014, 06:48:45 PM »
Hi
I'm a newbie to fuel injection so a basic question. I have a new 80A-1 pump. It feels notchie when I turn it . I put a drop of oil in it and it seemed the same and so I tried a drop of fuel in it and it still seems notchie but maybe a little better. Is this normal? It doesn't seem right to me and I don't want to fit it an bugger the pump.
Cheers
Tony

« on: September 19, 2014, 01:03:47 AM »I just finished a 200" fed kit from S and W and I certified a SFI 2.4 6 sec and slower, tech inspector was impressed with the quality of it. The only way their kit couldn't of certified if the person couldn't read and owned a flux core mig. Top notch company for everything.
As with most forums I'm only interested in those with actual first hand knowledge Hey Grapro - Any photos at all?

25 years since I went down a track now I'm nearly ready to rock and roll again and first fire up will be the week-end. I figure the local Lutherans will appreciate a bit of back yard tuning about 10.00 on Sunday morning! I have a terrible track record with getting things finished as I'm always looking at the next project. I've been offered a new built chassis built from S&W race cars blueprints. Does anyone have any pics of a S&W race cars chassis or complete 200" wheelbase car built from S&W plans? Has anyone used them are they a good thing.

OK I'm sold on Brad 1 product. What grade do I select for engine life in an injected 366 small block Chrysler with a flat tappet camshaft that see's 7,000 rpm in a 1250 LB FED?

That's all well and good but I can't get it here so given that are synthetics compatible with Methanol in an injected engine?

Are Synthetic Oils compatible with methanol? If not what do I use - a 20/50 detergent mineral oil?

Many many years ago I ran a 160" WB FED with a mild steel chassis and a VW torsion bar front suspension. I used straps over the back tyres and some stretchy elastic strap about 3" wide from a furniture maker over the front axle to hold it all down on my open trailer. Never had a problem. Fast forward to today and I'm about to go racing again after at least 25 years away. I have an old chassis which I've front halved and this time I have solid mounted (welded) the front axle to the frame. How do I tie this to an open trailer on leaf springs without breaking the frame on our less than ideal roads? Should I suspend the chassis just forward of the engine?
