Spud Miller's Cave / Hi Spud,pump requirements

« on: October 26, 2016, 09:02:10 AM »

 Hi, Just a few questions I'm hoping you can answer. I have a 392 Hemi( 0.060 over, mild blower cam ), with a 6-71 blower (5%over) and just acquired a hilborn 4 port.
 My questions are, what size of 90 degree nozzles would be appropriate for this setup on gas, what size of pump to feed this and
any idea what to start with for the primary and secondary bypass pills?
 The Hemi is in a 33 Willys gasser/street car, standard transmission
 Thanks in advance,
  Roger

Company for the 33 Willys gasser street car, a 49 Austin A40 pickup. Future plans call for a blown on alcohol small Chevy in front of a automatic transmission.

 look up Worm, slingshot dragster.com. He has a deal going where you can take one of his cars down the track. I don't know the price, but he does have "rentals"

Spud Miller's Cave / leak down test

« on: May 04, 2015, 08:48:32 AM »

  Hi Spud,
 I have a SBC with stack injection. The injection has been to Hilborn, along with the pump for a going over.
I have it on the car now, exactly as it was sent to me from Hilborn. Last fall I had it running(?) for a few moments. This year it ran for a minute or two, but wont idle. Its on alcohol, and the block has water in it.
 Well today I hooked a leak down tester to the inlet of the barrel valve, made sure the throttle was closed, and set the tester to 100 psi. Well the other gauge went down to about 20 psi. To me that's about 80% leakage, and I was told it should be about 15-16% leakage to get started.
 What did I do wrong, or miss?
 Thanks in advance,
                      Roger 
 I guess I should have searched a bit more before I wrote this. I didn't plug the first or secondary by-pass off.
I will do that tomorrow, and see what happens.

Hi, I have a small problem. I was talking to someone about a Vertex Magneto base with a tach drive, to put under my Don Zigg, Vertex mag. Well now I cant find my my communications with the person that has a used base for sale, that I was interested in.
  Hopefully I posted this in the proper area,

Spud Miller's Cave / Re: Hilborn 4 Door

So that's why they made 4 door's, for B'ville cars? Really. I wonder if it would work any differently than the taller version?

Spud Miller's Cave / Hilborn 4 Door

« on: December 23, 2014, 11:45:33 AM »

 Hi, If memory serves me correct, Hilborn made, or still makes a couple of 4 port injectors. What was the reason for the different ones and why was one tall and the other short? Would a 3" work on a 392 Hemi with a 5% under driven,6-71?
  Thanks Spud

 sorry guys, upright style, I already have a bug catcher, but I don't want to cut the hood anymore to clear the hat. If I go with the old upright style, I wont have to cut anything.
 Cheers,
