Four times the flow means you'll have to produce 16 times the pressure head... good luck. What we really need is a variable rate pump, where the pump output (and the required input torque) can be reg

Been there, done that. The extra 1/4 turn (or maybe it was a little more, I forget exactly) means you take 0.015" off the face of the adapter, but without jigging it all up on a mill or lathe, you ca

That would have been pretty common. English/German Ford Capri's and Escorts were available with Rostyle wheels, and they have the same bolt pattern as the Alpine and Tiger. Finding them now might be

Hi Chris, A few weeks (months?) ago the subject of four barrels came up and it turns out there is a 390 CFM Holley listed in most of the speed shops' catalogs. This would be a better choice perhaps f

Hi all, In a reply to Joey I stated that carb sizes are typically quoted as the amount of air they flow at 28 inches water pressure differential. That turns out to be wrong, on two counts. It was poi

Hi Joey, The brake lights should be on the bottom, and the turn signals on the top... so you should first get that sorted out. Maybe you installed or wired the right light assembly upside down? One w

If the top right light goes on and the bottom right goes out when you turn on the running lights, then the entire right taillight fixture isn't grounded. You can still test your brake lights without

I guess it could depend on who you got running the soldering torch when they put the tanks together. Mine has numerous blotchy puddles and flux stains. You can get the tank chromed, or maybe Dr. Moon

I'll try and beat Bob off the line here... it's rear-wheel torque that pulls you off the line, and engine power, not engine torque alone, actually determines how much rear-wheel torque you can genera

Sure, I'm putting in a stock 5.0, for now, but in my particular case I'm increasing the available rear-wheel torque by reducing the driveline inertia, thereby gaining acceleration without giving up a

Since the suspension was originally developed for bias-ply tires that have basically no sidewall compliance anyway, you could argue that putting 60 or 50 series tires on the car merely restores the r
