Drag Racing / Solar battery tenders
« on: December 30, 2018, 10:59:40 AM »
Well hello and howdy.
I know I know Google it, Amazon it. No I would like to hear from our like minded community if they have any experience. ;D

So My trailer sits a lot :'( With that the on board battery is pushing posies. Trailer set up that same battery was also the breakaway power. Older trailer, thinking about it wonder if there is a law stating that there needs to be a battery alone on breakaway?
The battery was small like a 18 series or bouts. Want to up this some as am adding some really cool 12 volt LED floodlights to use whilst generator is off.

as mentioned trailer sits and forget to think and put a maintainer on battery.
Looking at this V V
https://www.amazon.com/Schumacher-SP-200-Solar-Battery-Maintainer/dp/B004ZC3TFC/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1546194656&sr=8-5&keywords=solar+12+volt+battery+maintainer

Something that comes to mind is that , would I have to disconnect this when hooked to truck? Would be nice to permanently mount this.

Many thanks Luke

Jon's Wheel House / Runout
« on: October 29, 2016, 06:16:36 PM »
Hi Jon. This is a copy off my thread (the Prisoner) wasn't sure if you saw it but now you have a Technical board will ask you here.

    What would be an acceptable tolerance ( Hayden's)  as far as axially in rotation ? Notice one of my hayden's wobbles a little. They came with car I bought. There beauties Jon and am honored to have them.
Guess as long as were talking, what about a runout tolerance?

Thanks :)

Dan Dishon's Transmission Den / Dan question on alignments
« on: February 12, 2015, 04:30:12 AM »
Hi Dan:
Some questions came up between crank and trans alignment and was wondering if you had anything you could share?
Put the stuff on my build post and will put the link here to not clog up your tech section.
Especially the later half of post. Pump bore relative to Crank CL and relative.
If you dont mind, 5th line this page. V V

Spud Miller's Cave / NA Mechanical Fuel Injection
« on: February 06, 2015, 07:35:22 AM »
Hi:
Submitted for your approval, Said in your best Rod Serling voice.

There is lots to think about , but one thing I have a query on is , Nozzle Placement.
 I realize its a loaded question with the motor combo, RPM, Gearing etc. Hypothetically, Given all things else being equal  ::). Do you think there can be a gain - loss to where you place the nozzle. ???  Do you give consideration to the tuneup with regards to this?
 Was under a simplistic interpretation its best to get nozzle as close as possible to valve.
Case in point my own set up. Enderle stack (early Hemi) and the nozzles are put prit close to the butterflies. You could move the nozzles downstream a few inches easy.
Along these same lines the butterflies vary as to there distance from the valve. Any thought there? IE how some of the A Fuelers are set up with these newer fuel injectors.
Remember seeing a car a few years ago (Think at Bowling Green?) Where they had made plates for in between Head and Injector. They had placed the Nozzles in the plate. Was a simple Alcohol NA dragster.
Just thinking, always good to hear what peoples experiences and thoughts are.

thanks Spud for all your help on here.

Roo Man's Room / Engine -Rear alignment
« on: January 30, 2015, 06:49:09 PM »
Hi Roo:
Say a question for you and hopefully this will be some good info for our friends here also.
Disclaimer.  I am not good at putting thoughts to words and am sorry for any misspelled words or Grammar. Tried to sumize this as much as possible. Dimensions taken with cold gloved hands. LOL
Of info:
Bought a 2010 S&W 225” FED a few months ago. It had a BBC and glide set up. 9“ with a 12 bolt center section. Motor out 43”.
I am putting in a little whale with a glide behind.
To get a good baseline start on making a new engine plate. Figured to check the car as it came. I took a Chevy block and put it into car with original engine plate. Have a pc of 2 “ TGP shafting for an alignment bar. The rear is all set up and just figured to see how it measured off the coupler on rear.
Upon getting it all together slid the shaft back to the coupler and could see its visually off.
Over the last few days upon getting home from work have measured  as many ways as I could to get a good set of data points. Try to get figures to back others up. Also check by loading weight to chassis to see what influence that may have had. Also if another way to check came to my simple brain given some time to ponder it.
Also I was able to get a few minutes on the CMM at work to check the Engine plate in car now to get good baseline numbers with relative from the engine dowels to the frame rail saddle. Was surprised that the Dowels Datum plane with relative to the saddle in hight dimension were within less the .003 “ at local and the side to side dimension, (er to speak the dowels , relative to crank CL) was within .002 at local. It is a water jetted Ό 6061 plate.

Here seems to be my numbers that I have some reasonable confidence in.
With looking down at car with the front to your right. The shafting was visibly closer to you in relative to the coupler. Or in other words, looking straight at rearend, the shafting is to the left relative to coupler..
Measurement :
Again looking down at car with front to your right.
Shaft to coupler  .15-.16 TIR or .075 off Coaxial in side to side. Towards you.
Measured shafting at front of engine to upper frame rails. .12 TIR or  .06 Coaxial side to side towards you.

Looking straight on towards side of car, with relative to horizontal. The shafting was within less than .010 TIR at coupler. With the shafting coming in at an angle relative to pinion CL. Measured with a 16 inch parallel it showed the shafting aligned towards ground roughly  .015 in that distance.
This is not a good explanation sorry. If Im doing my trig correct its about .05 degrees.  I know its small but just trying to give you all the dims.

Notes:
 - I tried to back numbers up measuring different ways
 - I did not do a repeatability check on rear to see how much it varies per install.
 - The part the gets my face in a squinch is….By these numbers it seems I need to move the engine by about a 1/16th BUT…. The engine plate shows it in very good numbers centered to chassis in relative from the engine dowels to the top rails saddles from the CMM data??. When I checked the engine plate did  not expect to see what we see once in car.
 - In other mention also this car as said has a 12 bolt center section. I do not have a spare center section. Only way I could put shafting with a bushing on the center section is to take the gears out which I  did not think would have needed to do.
 - The rear is mounted well.  The only way I could see it moving a bit is if there is some slop in the bolt holes, but this only changes the the radial (relative to axle datum) angle
Questions:
 - My goal when I started this was to reaffirm the alignment so that I could use the chevy dowel s as a baseline to put the hemi pattern into the new plate. Was this out of line thinking?
 - What kind of tolerance would I be looking at or is in good practice?
 - The Couplers that were run in car are in excellent shape. The one only shows a little more rub on about half of spline, mostly even contact. With other end showing even contact. Did not check as to which side was in the tranny and which to rear. Just thought of that..
 - Was thinking that when fabbing the new engine plate to offset the engine CL by .065 - .070 “. From the position it is now.

I know your time is very valuable and I appreciate any input.  8)
thank you very much
Luke

Your Builds / Photo Gallery / the Prisoner
« on: January 22, 2015, 07:32:47 PM »
Hello all:
Will try to keep this short .........  Loved Drag racing as long as I can remember. MY one(late) Brother set me straight on music and my other Brother got me into Drag racing. One day he took me to the late great  Niagara dragstrip in 67. I saw my first Fiat Altered and it forever engrained into my life. Met a close friend (Frontenginedragsters)in Grades school and he loved it as much as I do and it bonds us till this day.
Started on my beloved Fiat project several years ago and a lot has changed since then. Last year I got to a point were knew had to make a change .  Thus started my search for a car that was near done and get my aging ass out to the track and stop screwing around. Searched Craigslist and racing junk religiously several times a day everyday for either a different Altered or a FED. 6 months later...... Bingo one morning it showed up and things happened fast. Its a Newstalgia FED and will make some people groan, But its mine and Im gonna have fun. ;)
I build stuff for a living so was bound and determined to build my own car. Buying a near ready to go car and somebody else s build is really tearing me up. But this is the sacrifice that must be made to get out soon.  :-\
It does free up time to do a couple things to the engine build that have been thinking about for quit awhile. We will see where this journey ends up. Goal is to get car out this year to at least get license and tuning runs in. Its doable but theres a lot of things out of my control.
So now that I have completely bored you, let me introduce you to  "the Prisoner"
