    Bleeding the radiator system

    Just my 2 cents on the filling of the RF cooling system. I just did this last night, completely filled and bled the system in about half and hour. After having gone through the convoluted process of trying to bleed these systems before, I decided to try a vacume bleed system. I will never do...

    Remote Oil Filter Flow Direction?

    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...

    adhesive for heat reflective matting

    Contact Cement was originally used on RF80 with the result that when I recived the car the heat shield was falling off especially were the pipes heated the deck when open. I replaced it with a self adhesive material called Zer Clearance. It is designed to protect body work and floor pans from...

    Build Diaries - Subcategories?

    Not that I'm against subcategories but are we approaching the slippery slope here? Do we need to break down each thread into it's component part thus adding to the noise level of catagories. All of us read every build thread regardless of car brand and we take from it what we can apply to our...

    Accessing the Roaring Forties section posts?

    Ron, As an RF owner I use the section all the time and would think that the world holds enough RF owners to make that section valuable to them. I cannot spaek for others but I would contribute to the continued support of the RF section after all it is to my benefit. Just because the old RF is...

    Resistance!!

    Jim, Thanks for the reply. I to never had to worry about wire resistance before myself but when asked I was stuck for an answer. Anyway after speaking with the tech at Taylor Cable and doing some measuring with .25 clear plastic water tube, (It lays down just like the actual wire.) we...

    Resistance!!

    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...

    Roaring Forties #80 Reborn!!!!

    Re: Rf80 Reborn!!!! Doug, I have mixed feelings about building or buying and the real answer depends on how anal a person you are. I for one take great pleasure in doing something right. I built and flew scale airplanes for many years and would agonize over getting the smallest detail right...

    Intake Manifold Bypass

    Frank, I bow to your engineering talent and experience and would consider adding a restriction in the line. I do have a question and that is, since total flow would be limited by the smallest area of restriction, would the 2 -3 lines equal one -6 in total flow? The only true answer to the...

    Intake Manifold Bypass

    Jim, My experiance has been only positive with the bleed lines, it is a setup that RF did, even supplying a modified water intake with the nipple welded in. Ron, I agree that it most likely was a fix created because of the engine being angled down at the front and might not be needed on other...
