I have this one picture from Sunday

Thanks for that. Great minds think alike, Ya? I am considering a 1 gal tank separate from the main tank that receives the fuel being pumped from the main pump as well as the return line from the fuel pressure regulator. Then that smaller tank will incorporate an overflow back to the main tank. A...

Sunday, April 21st COTA with Chin Motorsports. The weather was cold in the morning with the air temp at about 60F@ 8 am and the wind was blowing at about 16-20MPH. We also had pretty severe thunderstorms the night before so the track was damp until about 10AM. In the morning warm-up session I...

I used to race motorcycles a LONG LONG TIME AGO. The one thing I would not compromise on was driver controls and their placement. Same thing with my GT40 and the SLC. My advice is to center the seat and the steering wheel in relation to each other at all costs. I am talking about 1/8 inch or...

Thanks for that Frank. I said in the past that I was going to call Wilwood and talk to a "technical" person and not a salesperson. I did that and the fellow was very helpful. He asked a lot of questions about my car and what I did with it. I really wanted to know which of the current lineup...

I think that anyone who starts thinking "I would like to own and drive one of those" verses "I really want to build one of those" should buy a complete one and drive it. Maybe even consider a Corvette. I believe that many people, especially on this website fall into the latter category. The...

You gotta tell us more than that. At least HP? and $$?

Chris. It's going to take a few years to finish the car. IMHO anything that you cant get because of "supply chain issues" in 3 years never existed in the first place. Once you have put down your deposit on the kit with RCR you can work on buying a engine and transaxle. The time it takes to get...

Some limmited "good" news..................well better kinda not as bad, sorta ...............

Get one of these and make/modify your own master cylinder caps with screw-in AN-3 fittings and use a length of brake line type hose to connect it all up. Something like below but with a male AN fitting screwed into the cap. You will use this forever and smile every time you do. I bleed and...

Frank, thank you for that. I also tried the 40s, I used them on the front to try and overcome the lack of front caliper clamping force but what I got was a really aggressive on/off feel with little progressiveness. I have run Wilwood "B" pads a lot and I really like their progressive grip/heat...

Thanks for the info but I don't think they will work for me.

I see you have GTD on your intro page. Did these come off of a GTD? GTDs have an unusual bolt (pin) pattern. If they are off a GTD and would fit mine then I would be interested.

So this kind of question always gets me wondering what is available IF I wanted to do this myself. The first post was based on the investigation I did about 7 years ago when I was interested in using an EFI on my SLC SBC track motor instead of a Holley 4 barrel. I called several of the different...
