Timing Gear Drive

I have to agree POS Dakota. For most its a hobby so do what makes you happy(as long as its safe!). Not that tech input isn't appreciated or valueable. If everyone were to adhere to conventional wisdom we'd all be driving much the same vehicles and all dragsters would still be slingshots. I think at its base, hot rodding is about identity. Maybe that sounds artsy fartsy but why else would we aggravate ourselves with tinkering when we could just BUY a fast car? Just to go fast? Eh, I think its more than that. Its about the doing. I know I get grief about anputting 'old hemi' in a sixties car, it doesn't 'look right'.

Hot rods are the quintessentially American folk art.
