It sounds like they're being extra cautious, but I guess I look at it like this: If it's possible for the human body to be conditioned to the effects of extreme acceleration, whether positive or negative acceleration, it's going to be him. I hope he's OK. Tough week for the racing world....

I've wondered about this myself.

Prayers inbound. That's terrible.

I see five stuck up, self centered, pain in the *** future alimony checks. Worst Rorschach test ever.

Wow, now I have two of you proving how much slower they are than John Force.

When you understand that I'm making comments about him being OLD, come on back. lemme help ya "How that man holds those RT's at that age is way over my head."

Deep staging, my left foot. I know a few people in their 70's and most of 'em can't go 0.002 seconds without falling asleep. Hell, 99.99% of the population can't hit a reaction time close to anything required for that level of competition. The closest I ever got to a reaction time like that was...

How that man holds those RT's at that age is way over my head.

I remember from when I converted mine, the only real difference was that the pivot shaft was slightly longer on the clutch pedal version, and there was a very small brace welded into the hanger bracket. It's been twenty five years, but I remember this because I saw that brace and I thought I...

The last post in this thread was almost a decade old...

Will a set from an F body work?

Please calm down a little bit. He's not attacking you, and if he is, that's his problem, not anything wrong with you.

I think the simplest answer for OP, regardless of all this, is that with the key in RUN, the oil light and brake light work normally. There's no self-test for BRAKES like on later vehicles (that I'm aware of), and the default operation for the oil light also coincidentally serves as a self test...

I'll look at the diagrams and see, but all I can tell you is what I see when I start the car. I never said the wiring in my car was right, either. :rofl:

I think the oil pressure switch grounds the circuit, and oil pressure moves the contact and breaks the ground so light goes out. Power to the circuit turns off with the key

When I converted my Dart to the big cop car brakes, I just reused the distribution block, I never added a proportioning valve. Seeing the other thread brought this to the forefront. I never felt like the front brakes were all that great. Is not having the proportioning valve part of the...

Jamie told me he had 'em at Passon a couple weeks ago.

I'm looking for an uncut standard dash frame in good condition for my '75 Valiant. Can trade an unmolested deluxe frame, complete with trim and all the fixin's. John

I feel your pain. I found one on FMJ bodies in Kearney just last week (I'm in Pleasant Hill). Are you cross-posted over there?

I only know my '72, '75, and my '90's pickups, but I have to disagree. The oil light on my cars is on during cranking, only goes out when the key is off or engine has pressure. I know this because if I crank long enough, it'll start winking out. I'm not sure about accessory, I don't use that...

Lift, you say? Hmmm...you're not that far from me....

OK, proper oil light operation! Like RRR said, the light should ONLY come on when the key is on, motor is off (or, ugh, if you lose oil pressure for some reason). The light should go OUT when you start the car (within 2-3 seconds) and STAY out until you shut the car off (or lose oil pressure)...

LOL ok. Those are called Banjo Bolts fyi...

We used Westley's on the whitewall tires when i worked on HD's. Worked slick.

Brake line bolt? Huh?

The rocker section cut out and replaced with a 1x1 square tube is classy. No more snagging your pant legs on rusted out rockers.

I just realized I haven't used a timing light in years. Daily drivers are all EFI or diesel, and I used a vacuum gauge the last few times I did my carbureted cars. And I haven't worked on a motorcycle in far too long.

Congrats on being not only the first person to respond, but also being damn near the only person in the whole damned thread to get this....

Sigh, I give up.

I figured the original post would start with, "I met this chick at the bar, and she has a very seductive, smoky voice, but when we got back to her place...."
