Looks like us research engineers think alike... apparently exactly what I said DV wanted the data not the win, he was thinking he would be about 8th and ran shorter duration than the other to get the data.....

Follow along.... Part III should be coming tomorrow to finish it up... Restoring an Early A Bendix Brake Booster

Part II

Has anyone found a replacement for the discontinued Raybestos kit? [WANTED] - Raybestos MK697 or equivalent M/C Rebuild Kit Jim

Part 1 of 2. Restoring the Early A Bendix Brake Booster. Latest:

Options, I did not know about that guy.

They are a little odd. He mentions that if you want true colors look elsewhere.

His old website didn’t work. You have a new one Miguel?

Yes came with the booster.

I have a kit on order and was wondering if there is any interest in a video on the rebuild process? I know there are not a lot of these old boosters around so I am not sure of the overall value and as it usually doubles the time it take to do a project to do a video (plus the editing) I don't...

That was more than 6 months ago. The last 6 months you can really see it.

He can’t anymore. His health is such he can’t leave his home. The last 6 months of videos you can see the decline clearly. He discusses that as well and jumped at Eric’s generosity because he no longer has the ability or resources.

Know nothing about LS engines. Those 120+ LSAs four valve heads?

He is a research engineer and near the end of his tenure. I spent my career as an engineer devising tests and pulling data out of them to learn. The older I get I would rather have the knowledge than the win. I still say he knew the answer and saw 3 cams that were right and used this test as a...

I am not an engine builder by a long shot but I have read everything I can get my hands on that has technical science behind it and built the motors for my cars using DVs methods very successfully for what I want. This seem more like a DV trashing thread but if you take time and really think...

Anyone have a rotted out booster that I could get the bolt on pivot brackets and linkages? Need the short rod coming out of the booster too.

The Layson’s 1966 Plymouth tail light body gaskets fit perfectly and are so nice. Thanks to Mike Clifford I now have a RH reflector that is as nice as my NOS LH one. Also used Motorcycle 1157 Mini bulbs to help not melt the lens like these can do. Contact @Rick@Laysons for a set.

Seems like Miguel is out of business in Mexico for these. I believe Layson's is now importing the Mexican lenses directly since their Australian connection has been broken since Covid. Also Classic is now stocking Layson's parts for the 66 now too...

GM shut down their test track here in Az last year as well.

I have PM'ed @autoxcuda for date as well.

Call FirmFeel in Washington and send them that photo.

Don't feel sorry for me.... I have too many cars to drive one all that much :p Jim

What distributor is in this car? Original? It likely could use reducing the mechanical advance so you can run higher initial timing and still max out at around 32-34 degrees. I did that to all my cars and it make a world of difference.

I am confused, this is a 216/216 @ 0.050" with 110 degree LSA and you are saying it has low vacuum? What are you considering low? This cam should have more than enough... is the intake leaking or something?

He was still tinkering around the show earlier this year when I ordered a slant cam.

It is the overlap the defines vacuum. A 112 LSA with X degrees of overlap will have as much vacuum as a 108 LSA with the same overlap. If you read Vizards books he has data that shows what LSA (all other things equal) can do if you get it wrong. The difference between a motor that wants low...

Yes.
