    Online Air Density Any Good?

    I'm not familiar with Google Play. I'll look into it. I think that's the link I posted. It's spelled, airdensityonline.

    Hood scoop to big?

    I guess you'd have to know if the air coming in the scoop would go down through the holes, or, would the hot under hood air come up in the scoop?

    Guys this is why you work on your car trailer

    If I raced more, and had the $$, I'd definitely go enclosed, with some kind of ability to sleep and eat. Hotels and restaurants are a pain. As others have mentioned, you can carry spares, tools and it provides shelter for people and the cart. Don't have to unload/load constantly. I won't...

    Guys this is why you work on your car trailer

    Please don't work on your vehicle this close to the highway! Get as far off the road as possible. In a nano second, someone can hit you. "I only took my eyes off the road for a second", if they even admit that much. IMHO, other than a battlefield, a highway is the most dangerous place you...

    Guys this is why you work on your car trailer

    I've never understood why sun destroys tires sitting in a driveway on an RV or trailer, but it doesn't destroy tires on daily drivers, which are out in the sun just as much, of course.

    Definitely. I’ll do my best to get back in better air. And continue to keep track of the weather. I need runs in the car. Haven’t run it that much since I built it. Plus, my shifter was for a forward valve body and I modified it to work on my reverse pattern, and it works great.

    Sixty's from last trip were between 1.65 and 1.68.

    The results are in! I didn't have the chance to try anything except to try to get consistent runs. The main differences from last trip were: -The air was "Summery". Last trip it was very "Autumny", for lack of accurate numbers. -2” taller tires, (235's vs. 265's) -I advanced the cam from 108...

    I will probably go one more time. This was my first trip since last year when I met you. A 2 1/2 hour tow for me also! My closest choice. :( I'll look for that pretty Dart if I make it one of those two weekends.

    I'm going to try out a few things tonight. Anyone else going? These two threads have the info: How To Measure Fuel Volume. Advancing Cam Question But basically, I'm going to: -See if the cam advance affects it. (From straight up 108, to 104.) -Check trap RPM for the effect of the 2" taller...

    Looking for recommendations for Cuba Resort

    With respect, I won't travel to a country that treats their citizens like dirt. Human rights? Not there. Find an up-and-coming island country, if it's the island life you're looking for. We went to Turks and Caicos in 2012. They were the cheapest we could find at the time.

    Walkie talkies

    Good idea. A friend hunts in Maine- No cell service. But I think he'd say the noise would scare the critters away. Doh! I walked straight into that one!! lol! I tried protecting my privacy for a long time. I hate to admit it, but "they" have won.

    Walkie talkies

    Maybe a little more info? I don't know anything about walkie talkies, but I know my wife and I communicate from the house to the garage (50'?) with our cell phones. Never thought we'd be that lazy. lol

    Thanks for the Well Wishes and Prayers!

    Hoping for the best for you, John. We are fortunate to live in times where medical science is so amazing! My wife doesn’t know it yet, lol, but I have plans for us to travel around the country and spectate at NHRA races. Hope to meet you.

    Advancing Cam Question

    So I just did it again. I had to find out what's going on. MAJOR SCREWUP! In my attempt to advance the cam 4* (to 104), I put it together a TOOTH OFF! I've been doing this stuff off and on for 50 years (I'm 65). I've never done this before! I've had retina and depth perception issues the...

    I knew about it because RRR posted about it on this thread. But lol, I don’t look at stickies either. Consider this a “bump”.

    Advancing Cam Question

    ...several years ago, and checked it with a wheel and indicator then. -Because I knew that it was at 108, I just moved it from the "0" to the "4*" Advanced keyway on the crank gear. -As a result, "0" 0n the balancer moved 4*, as it should have. -The problem is; it moved the wrong way...

    Advancing Cam Question

    The crank got turned clock-wise, though it went against what I thought was right. My buddy was very sharp about stuff like that, so I went with what he said (on our stocker). Seems he was wrong. My crank gear must be marked wrong. I checked several times to make sure I was lined up with the...

    Advancing Cam Question

    ...the crank is past TDC, and the cam isn’t there yet. (I didn’t move the cam from TDC, just the crank to the point where the chain went on in the 4* position.) Same thing as our race car. He swore I was wrong, I swore I was right. The car had pretty good mph. It was an NHRA stocker, so it was...
