Last night I spent three hours on the Dyno trying to resolve some driveablity problems, while trouble shooting the injectors, we pulled one as the engine ran and had no change in the way the engine was running. We than pulled another on the same side with no change. Finally we pulled all four on...

I assume most of you watched some or all of the Rolex 24 hour this past weekend? I did as I do every year but this year I had an emotional attachment to the race because of the help I had received from Speed Source Racings engine man, David Haskell in tuning my Motec. David spent several hours...

When running the Motec system as setup for an RF using the Ford Cam Sensor, how do you install the sensor? Having put the motor at TDC on #1, how do you set the Cam Sensor? Do you drop in the sensor then set the Sync in the software or do you set the sensor at a special point in relation to TDC...

Fran, You cars make for a very nice KIT CAR cover photo. Have not gotten into the story yet but with the exception of one missing car, it's a great shot. Peter

I need some suggestions before I take the big punge and start pulling my motor down. The problem, Oil Pump will not prime. Engine, 302, stock pump and Canton 7Qt Road Race Pan. Canton Remote oil filter. Motor has been sitting about a year before being installed. Everything was checked...

Sometimes I do dump things like installing a Canton Remote Filter and not noteing the flow directions on the ports. Then I go and install the motor and am in the process of doing the final plumbing and realize my problem. Can anyone using the Canton Remote Filter engine adapter tell me what...

I need to make up a set of Sparkplug wires for my 306 running the RF Motec setup including multy coil packs. The Tech asked what wire resistance was needed and I had no idea what to tell him. So I need to know what others with this setup are running? My next question concerns the 90 degree...

As you can see in the attached picture, the end of my throttle cable has a 90 dagree ferrell on it. I need to connect this to the throttle on the manifold as shown in the second picture. The problem is that I cannot find anything that connects to the ferrell and would allow me to conect to the...

Can any one tell me what the threaded port on the side of the Ford short water pump is? The port is located on the water pump just to the left of the oil pressure port in the block. As I was doing final assembly prior to dropping my motor in I noticed this port and can't remember what if...

Last August I purchased Rolf's car for what turned out to be a great deal but even then I new that a new begining was going to come. I spent some time driving the car and deciding what needed to be done to make it into my car not Rolf's. I wanted the car to be set up to my tast and my driving...

I'm trying to find a source for the two flat 4 post coil packs used in the Motec installation on the RF. Thanks in advance for any help. Peter

Can any one tell me the part number from Ford, or a source for the Male plug that mates with the three prong connector on the Explorer Cam reference unit. Thanks Peter

I have been working on a problem with the header pipes on my RF exhaust system. The pipes keep leaking at the entrance to the collectors. I have removed them, plasma coated them and used high temp sealer but I still get some leakage at the joint. My question is, if I weld the pipes to the...

As some of you may know I purchased Rolf's car this week and now it's time to sell my partially comlete RF. I am sad because I put a lot of effort and money into the car, but being honest with myself I do not have the time to complete the build. I can tinker with RF 80 and still be on the road...

I'll post this question here but it really is for anyone who can help to respond. I think I I'm between a rock and a hard place. My lump is a SBF that has been taken .030 over so it's 306 CI. The heads are twisted Force and I will be running an 8 stack injection and a medium grind Cam. The...

At some point a running change was made to the front clip of the RF in which partial bulkheads were added to each side of the clip. It seem that the purpose was to close off the open passage between the door hinge area and the wheel well and to stop the sides of the clip from curling in when...

Over the years as I have worked on my RF I have had the oppatunity to meet a number of vendors, some good, some bad and some misguided. Whenever I have the pleasure of dealing with a good one I think it's important to let other know. Because of that I feel compelled to post a comment about Jim...

Fran was very quite about this but I just got the new KIT CAR and quess who is featured. Peter

Since no has mentioned it let me be the first to congratulate both Chuck and Hershal for the article in KIT CAR. Peter

Although this forum is based on the GT40 I felt that the guys here would like to see a job well done. This is my neighbers Antiques and Collectables Jaguar XK150. The kit was a gift from his wife over 12 years ago. Back then a kit was not anthing like we see today, this one was just a body and...
