    I thought you knew !!

    I have read this post with great interest. GT40 or not, when a guy is going out on the track, or just setting in the pits, you should think about the fact that a human life is at stake. I ALWAYS SPEAK UP!!! If the guy gets mad or tells me where to go, that if his problem. MY mind will still be...

    Weber 48 IDA problem

    You might want to also check the bottom of the carbs...I do it with a steel ruler (machine shop type). I've seen both, and so the above post is also correct. I hope it helps!

    Harmonic Balancer Question(s)

    I'm sorry for the confussion, the crankshaft WAS supported.....I know that I certainly would not try that on an unsupported crankshaft. The balance was continually tested before the high speed turns were done. To answer the above post, it meant that the crank was balanced down the axis of the...

    Harmonic Balancer Question(s)

    I will find out the name of the machine, I used a professional racing balancing company. The statement quoted came from a man who first did my balancing up until he died. But that said, some of the engines that I felt I was lucky enough to be a part of, left the starting line of the track at...

    Harmonic Balancer Question(s)

    IMHO, mass is what makes the torque value of the motor. But the flywheell can be lightened at the outer edge only, and a heavier pulley put on the front of the crank, to make the total package weigh the same. It improved the acceleration rate. In all of the engines I've worked on, and I can't...

    Everything in the US is Bigger, Taller & Higher

    I think that it shows a total commitment on behalf of the police department to make sure that all of the details of the accident could be so well documented, and I think that Mr curb crawler will learn a valuable lesson...weigh the item you're going to steal, because you might not be able to...

    "917" based on 914-6 for sale!!!

    I would like to point out that the silver car is not an Avenger, but rather a Valkrie. It is a beautiful , as are the cars that on shown on this forum. I always believe that it is the get together and sharing of information, that makes groups like this a scene that I like to go to. It doesn't...

    Bin Laden dead

    Hey, the asshole is dead...done the right way, no trial, no bullshit, just done. Now, if we go after the others, and not do what we did in the first irac war by stopping when we had it done, this will put an end to the assholes who think that we want to talk them to death! I think ( in MHO) our...
