"It's gonna be quite a smoky show..." "Bye bye $600..." Awesome. Ha Ha. Corvette Burnout - Video auf bildschirmarbeiter.com

Randy, I use a Davies Craig EBP that is started via a microswitch on the "heat" slider control inside the car. It is plumbed across the supply and return lines to the radiator. Works well. Forgive the loose wiring on the stereo. It was being installed when this picture was taken! Dave

I use an Aeromotive 10 micron between the pump and injectors. Replaceable element. You put in AN male adapters of your size choice. Quality stuff. Summit either has or can get them. See it at Aeromotive Inc. - High-Performance Fuel Systems & Fuel Pumps

Doug, No, thank heavens the GT and "C" are covered up in the garage, ready to go when weather and road conditions permit! Dave

....may as well do a good job of it. Not much left of this one! YouTube - super crash tractorpulling

I'm still using the Davies Craig pump and speed controller, no mechanical thermostat. The pump does fine, but be careful of the controller. Unless Davies Craig has changed the program in the new ones, the warm up characteristics aren't kind to mid engine cars. Granted, it gives a quick...

Jim, I had trouble early on with radiator core to tank failures. I'm running a variable speed electric pump. Turns out that the electric water pump controller program was great for fast engine warm ups, but would shock the radiator with 180/190 degree water all at once causing the core (thin...

Ron, If it is a ZF that was sourced from or for a Pantera, it should have the U joint axles/flanges. The half shafts are made up of all standard Spicer brand parts including the sliding spline, with the exception of the tubing that sets the length. Dave

Hey Lloyd! The HOK paint is doing well. Some chipping on the front edge of the rear flares, but not really that bad. I built it to run so those type of things are to be expected. The most amazing thing is I'm still running the same Michelin 335/35/17's on the rear...and they still have...

Thanks Fran. Like most, lots of hours invested. It is a "runner" heading for 20,000 miles now.

The fronts are flared on my ERA. These are a couple of pictures taken when I picked the car up and one after body work and painting was complete. You can clearly see the red colored glass where the wider flares were added. Dave

I just set a piece of 5/8" thick plywood on the open rear and let it lean against the tailpipes. Works great. Nothing permanent at all. Dave

Paul, I've had good success using Grafoil sheet for exhaust system gaskets. It is a graphite material sandwiching a thin stainless core. It can be cut with scissors, punched with hole punches, etc. Grafoil is a bit fragile as far as the graphite material, but not overly so if care is used...

I used Swain coating on my system. It is an off white color and has a sandpaper feeling surface. It has held up well over 3 or 4 years with only a little flaking of the coating where the tight radius turns in the system on 1 and 5 cylinders exist. Racing Coatings - engine piston coatings...

Lynn, Haven't looked too closely at them, but I did run across a web page that lists the Walbro replacements for the discontinued 6000 series. They "Can be run dry for up to 4 hours, self priming up to 48 inches, < 2 amp current draw". Prices listed look reasonable. Walbro Reciprocating...

Mark, I did a setup similar to I think what David is describing. A little module mounted on the steering wheel where the left hand thumb can actuate the buttons, has a rocker type turn signal button, horn, and headlight dimmer button. The wiring from it goes into the steering wheel hub and to...

Something else to consider is the friction coeficient of the material used for the "paddles" which I'm taking to be pucks or friction material that line both sides of clutch disk. The friction value for different materials varies with the lesser number of pucks usually having higher coeficient...

I started to notice last summer that when the car got up to temp, the shifter linkage would sometimes get difficult to move fore and aft. Moving it side to side first would seem to free it. Kind of annoying while driving. I felt sure the problem was in either the front heim joint or firewall...

Jim, You are correct, the rear calipers are Corvette with integral parking brakes, but the lever that fits by the rocker panel(LHD) is Fiero.....pull up handle to set the brake with an internal ratchet mechanism in the handle base....then the handle drops back down to the floor level so it...
