Andrew, based on my experience (homebuilt IR/ITB setup using the Holley self-learn, I would push back at least on the initial bullet point. I run speed density on mine (48mm) with highly progressive throttle geometry, and find it VERY streetable, and obviously trackable. Currently using a stage...

Welcome Sean. Thanks for the "intro". Did my own fiberglass body, so I appreciate your contribution.

So if direction matters, Why wouldn't the same detrimental effects of acceleration be apparent on the secondary metering block (jets are facing opposite direction from the slosh than the primaries face?

:p Cliff...I was thinking the very same thing last month, but didn't care to bring up that ridiculous string of debates again. The sad thing is that that kind of mentality simply delayed what could have been started earlier, had it been taken seriously....yet some folks thing the Don still...

So the rational for buckling doesn’t make sense to me, being they are only on one pair, and only on one half of that pair of wheels. Why can’t things just be left alone when it works fine. After I talk to Harry about this, I may see about removing the roll, or ordering halves without them. The...

They are on a company holiday until 6/5 (in the UK).

Just purchased a new set of wheels, and noticed today that the the rear wheels, on the inboard shell only, AND only on the rear wheels, has this unusual (at least for me) lip on it. The same manufacturer made my previous set of wheels, and nothing like this was provided. So, Is this something...

2X on this. I have their "wineglass" wheels, and have raced them for years now. Liked the Image products so much, I'm waiting for a second set for street tires to arrive soon.

Their Duratec is probably the best product (sandable gelcoat/filler/) I've ever used. Very heavy though.

Probably my most disappointing event in all of my F1 interests. I'll never forget on "Drive to Survive", where the camera was on two of the Red Bull engineers (at the first of that season) with Masi talking to them, and Masi stating to them that he had his money on Red Bull. Had to play that...

That's where I bought all my supplies to make the body for my project. No old shelf-life stuff ever arrived.

Great article Mike. Beautiful car.

Pinto/Mustang II spindles would seem to be an option if you're flexible on control arm mounting. LOTs of aftermarket support for them as well.

The bypass will slowly warm the radiator, but once the thermostat opens, I've found the radiator rate of heating increases significantly. With only the bypass, I can feel the radiator inlet hose/tube getting warm, then that side of the radiator, then the other side of the radiator, and then the...

I run an LS engine in my project. Large radiator, with the Ford Cobra (Mustang) thermostat housing at the radiator. On moderate to warm ambient days, the sensor sees about 10-15ºF cooler values than what the thermostat is set for. On really hot days, it may get up to within 5º of the thermostat...

I believe he "recovery" diaphragm is simply a flapper valve that operates in one direction, blocking any flow when under pressure, but with no resistance to reverse recovery flow (lower pressure in the block drawing coolant back into the block). So I would ensure you have a "vented" cap on your...

Is there an acceptable way to run the straps from the waist strap mounts, under the legs, and then up to the latch? The primary purpose is to keep from submarining under the waist belt, not hold the waist down. I would assume if sufficiently snug, the "sensitive" parts will be between the...

There are different ways to set up a pump, and different pump designs. I would say your '40 set-up is pretty common, and in fact, much more common than what you had on your Cobra.

I forgot to ask, do you have a tank vent that should you overfill a tank, it will exit out a vent, with a small hose to ground level, rather then out the filler?

I think Julian may have hit it, but to add detail, if you have two tanks 75% full, yet the draw from them is between a common line between the tanks, it is theoretically drawing from both by equal amounts, and returning to only one tank. After continuous running of the pumps, that one tank will...
