Two weeks after the import / kit / replica show is the all Ford show. Just in case ya didn't know. Mark

Well I must say SpeedTV's web site is the worst I've seen in a while. Nothing about when it will be shown again but part 2 is on Sun, Mar 27 9:30AM.

I'm not too sure about 1 3/4" being the best for 351s. I have Edelbrock Victor Jr. heads on a stroked 351 and I used 1 3/4" tubing but the transition from the head to the pipe is kinda like farting in a train box car. Optimally the headers fit the port size with little transition...

Yes two leads go under the pan and yes it's a four coil waste spark system. The coil firing devices (initiators?) are a large current draw so Electromotive chose the four coil waste spark. They say any downside to the system like twice fired plugs is minimal. The plug that fires on the...

I'll have to agree with Howard on this. Mechanical FI is not for the street unless you're really radical. I have the Hilborn EFI system controlled by an Electromotive ECU. I did not want the analog system that ships with their EFI unit because I wanted more control. More control and more...

[ QUOTE ] Michael: We had lots of problems, but they had to do with fuel delivery from the tanks to the fuel rail, not with the Hilborn system. Regards, Buzz [/ QUOTE ] Well Buzz you never stopped by to see what a well designed fuel delivery system looks like. Mark

Does anyone have a good solution for fixing the bump steer on a lowered CAV? The tie rod needs to be located right where the boss is located on the upright for the tie rod. Any chance of getting the factory to move that boss so the tie rod can enter from the bottom? Some guys want to go...

I'm going to make the jump into ZF repair and tweaking. Since I have rebuilt a couple dozen manual transmissions and have set up a couple dozen differentials I don't think there will be many surprises. Pinion depths, pre-loads, end-play and a real good eye for machined surface defects are...

Ross, I spoke to Lloyd yesterday and he says he made his own tooling because the ZF factory pieces are not available. So anyone have a burned out ZF I can have for peanuts? Mark

Can anyone give me a pointer to a "For Sale" set of tools that is needed to set-up the ZF transmission? I read the procedure a couple years ago and seem to remember an arbor and a pinion depth tool and a couple other items. Thanks in advance, Mark

Re: Shameless AND sexist commercial exploitation - Xtreme G [ QUOTE ] Can you make an mpeg of this thing? QT is not so common. [/ QUOTE ] There you go. Babes and hot cars.mpg Enjoy. Mark

It's as finished as it's going to get. Many thanks to Alyssa Delaney and Sara Rice. Hope you enjoy: Babes and hot cars (12.9Mb) Mark

I have a brand new CAV / GTD splitter sitting in the shop and I was wondering if anyone near to Northern Va. would allow me to check the splitter's fit to their car. Not an installation just a dimensional check to assure a good fit. This can be done on either a finished or unfinished car...

[ QUOTE ] You need a skate board or something like that to flip around or kick when you get out of the car!! Porsche will love it. [/ QUOTE ] I have a Cayenne model holding up the phone and I kick it out of the way. The kick got lost in the editing though. Guess I need a close-up shot of...

I've been playing with the video cam, Final Cut and a compressor and came up with this initial draft for a commercial. It made me smile even in its unfinished form so I thought I'd share it with everyone. Xtreme GT40 QuickTime Movie Yes I need: 1. professional microphone 2. pretty...

Dave, Just got done re-aligning my car. My initial settings were quite good and the car seemed fairly well balanced. The initial settings are listed on this page: ERA specs I don't want to let out all my chassis tuning techniques but these initial settings worked well and I only have made...

Here's a link to the web page I'm developing on chassis alignment. Computer / Laser Precision Chassis Alignment A bump steer and camber change chart for the rear suspension of the ERA GT40 is included for your enjoyment. I hope to have the front bump steer charted today and finish the...

Re: Mark\'s Xtreme GT40 First Drive The trailing arm pivot location that is mounted to the wheel upright is offset (thus asymmetrical) to allow the centerline of the trailing arm to intersect with the centerline of the lateral link at the spherical joint. Whew! I thought I would have a hard...

Nice find Dave. That's what I love about this site. GPS makes Lojack look like a dinosaur. Street Trak is twice the price but half the subscription rate. I wonder if the tracking interface is light enough to be used over a web enabled cell phone. You could chase the thief down yourself. Mark

Mark, What a difference a couple months makes. I had checked out the brands you mentioned and some did not have front tires though they had the rears. Mmmmm, Goodyear F1 Supercar. Still all these 315s are about 25.6 in diameter and I can run 26.5 to 27. Maybe this is my best compromise...
