I'm flattered by all that say I,m a good guy but in fact Jim's luck is my misfortune. I still have a empty feeling when I look at that spot in my garage that the 40 occupied. Anyway life goes on and I have not left the site. I may have had to take a step back from GT40's for a while but once in...

It's with great sadness that I'm posting this message but in life sometimes you eat the bear and other times the bear eats you. Later today I will be offering RF80 for sale for the best and quickest offer within reason. Please note I have not stated a price, this will be truly for the best offer...

John, That looks to be stainless steel and not coated. Peter

Paul, thanks for your response. First the car runs cleanly across the rev band with good throttle response cold or warm. I am running TPS as my control method. No, i have not installed a progressive throttle, I have a direct one to one relationship between the linkage and the...

I bumped this thread to ask a question of the folks who have lived with the Motec EFI. I have been driving my car quite a bit since I had it tuned on a Dyno and have begun the bug swatting part of the build. I have one problem that effects my ability to drive in a smooth manner at low...

Jonathan, I also run the 5N with a 3.22 ring gear. The instructions were quite complete but i decided to farm the work out before I messed things up. I think it cost me around $350.00 at a local transmission shop. Peter

Tony, Congratulations on your car being featured in a add in Road & Track. Peter

I am not an expert on the subject of the distributer gear but I did do some research when the subject came up on my engine build. For whats it worth it seems that people go with a HD oil pump for the greater oil supply or pressure it should provide or even for bragging rights, when the standard...

I by rule stay clear of threads that have no value but have now been forced to respond to this one. We give life to people like this because we respond, if we ignore them they go away. We all know that his comments are without merit because he has no skin in the game and no history to base his...

Last night I spent three hours on the Dyno trying to resolve some driveablity problems, while trouble shooting the injectors, we pulled one as the engine ran and had no change in the way the engine was running. We than pulled another on the same side with no change. Finally we pulled all four on...

The true measure of man is mark he leaves behind, Phil,s mark on our sport is huge and will endure forever. Godspeed. Peter

The day after you posted on your new toy, I spotted a white one with light blue top. To see one does not happen often 30 plus years and low production numbers will keep it that way. Peter

Ron, Great purchase, It would have been great to have been able to buy that kind of car new. The guy in the attached picture is me back around 74 or 75. The car is a 1972 Mercury Montego GT powered by the 428CJ motor with automatic. I purchased the car new in 72 and a year or two later had...

Lloyd, Contact me at 954-816-6005. Peter

I cannot tell you what the Phantom grip is made of but I did have one installed in an 016-5N. I used the unit because the price was a lot less than what a torson unit ran and I felt it would meet my requirements for most conditions. It did what it was advertised to do and I was happy with that...

I have seen and driven the Solstice with the Chevy alloy LS2 dropped in. 1. It fits without major mods. 2. It weighs I believe within 80 LBS of the stock turbo motor, and with 400 hp and 400 lb ft it goes like h*ll. One of the forum members, (V8 Archie) who does the GT40 on a Fiero kit...

Gary, When I purchased RF81, the motor was not running as it should, a lot of backfiring both lean and rich, so I went looking for a Motec expert that could help me. I checked the Motec website which list Speed Source as a distributer in Florida and found that they were located 6 miles from my...

I assume most of you watched some or all of the Rolex 24 hour this past weekend? I did as I do every year but this year I had an emotional attachment to the race because of the help I had received from Speed Source Racings engine man, David Haskell in tuning my Motec. David spent several hours...

Peter D. I am also running wasted spark with the Motec but i have not heard any one commenting on the joy of wasted spark and the two fireing orders that are used on FSB motors. Peter

John, Good to hear from you. I think that the problem with tuning these cars or any car for that matter is associating the symptom we have with the correct problem or that the symptom might be caused by more than one problem. In this case the symptom is plug fouling associated with a rich...
