We often had to hit a very specific velocity at Main Engine Cut Off (MECO). They were in the range of 25,950 fps - almost 5 mi/sec. And we hit them routinely, within a few fps. A couple of hundred fps over and you weren't in the correct orbit (overspeed). A couple of hundred under - you were...

First stage was really rough in the cockpit. Lots of vibration and shaking - crew was more or less along for the ride. Second stage was very smooth. During the last couple of minutes of powered flight, the acceleration was incredible. Had to throttle down the three engines not to exceed 3-Gs on...

Hello, Simon. I can't help with the gearbox drive, but can recommend the GPS speedo from Speedhut. Works like a charm: https://www.speedhut.com/gauge/GR4-GPS-06/1/GPS-Speedometer-200mph

Shaun, I am firmly in the "no cork gaskets in front or rear" camp. I use the Right Stuff from Permatex. It's very easy to use and seals nicely. If any spills/spooges out during installation, just wait for it to dry and trim with a razor blade. Right Stuff advertises you can install parts and put...

Exactly right, Kirby. Mine has the word "Replica" in the title.

Done.

I'm with you, Larry. Racing at that level should be about innovation, not equality of outcomes. How did we go from "Hey, that new thingamajig is cool!" to "Hey, that new thingamajig needs to be outlawed!"?

Thanks for this info! P2334 will need this sooner or later.

Howard, No adapter needed. They went straight in. I did not do the rear lights. Tim

Howard, About a year ago, I replaced the incandescent bulbs with these LEDs. The removal and replacement was easy and they are very bright. Amazon says they are currently unavailable, but MICTUNING makes other LEDs...

Had a similar situation recently. A good friend and former coworker brought his Father over to look at the cars. When it came time for them to leave, I offered to drive his Father back to his house and my friend to follow us. It was a great opportunity to give an older gearhead a nice ride. When...

If it's a late model Ford Motorsport BOSS 302 block (M-6010-BOSS302), the oil pressure port is stbd rear of the block. The port front is blocked off. I have this block in my '66 Mustang.

Prismatic Powders "Wineberry" over the chrome spinners.

Morten, I can't answer the anodizing question. For my case, the powder cures at 400 deg F, so no issues with alloy spinners.

I believe the convention was RED-RIGHT hand threads, so port side. Blue on stbd side.

I'm about to do this powder coating on my spinners. I'm using Prismatic Powders "anodized" looking blue and red colors. Is there a good reference to the origins of this color coding practice? I believe Lynn when he says some teams used the scheme at Lemans. I'm just wondering where it all...

Hi, Frank. I'd like to know more about the expensive errors.

Howard, the arms swing out of the way enough to drive the car between. The arms are telescoping and fairly low profile. Bendpak provides several heights of pads to go on the ends of the arms as well. I have had no problem with the GT40 on this lift. See here for info on the low profile arms...

I have the Bendpak XPR-10AS. It's a 10,000 lb two post. Installed it 4.5 years ago and running solidly. Ordered from Garage Equipment Co in CA. https://www.bendpak.com/car-lifts/two-post-lifts/xpr-10as/

Thanks! Pulled K last night and confirmed that it controls the fan on high speed. Cleaned off the terminals and pushed it back in - same failure mode. Planning to replace relay K. Tim
