Is there a carb jetting adjustment required when nitrous is used?

Does the carb loose some vacuum signal when the NO2 is shot into the manifold?

NGK's take on anti-seize, may not apply to other brands 1. Anti-seize NGK spark plugs feature what is known as trivalent plating. This silver- or chrome-colored finish on the threads is designed to provide corrosion resistance against moisture and chemicals. The coating also acts as a release agent ...

Kinda cool, possibly a return to the tank on some models. May help prevent vapor lock.

Any preferences, opinions or tests on chassis lube for ball joints, control arm bushings, ect. Haven't bought any for 20 years. Getting a '68 Chevelle roadworthy and have no clue what is best now days.

I wonder if he'll keep racing in stock eliminator. That Buick of his is outstanding!

POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE, ELECTRIC MASTER CYLINDER

Just a quick follow-up. I call Pro-Cam today, they are redesigning their fuel pumps. The new ones will be available in early 2020. They are changing the lower diaphragm section from casting to billet.

Thanks Lizard, I'll give them a call tomorrow.

Has anyone used the Pro-Cam fuel pumps? Looking to purchase one for a street/strip BBC. I'm wondering if they are still in business? Having trouble locating their #9370 pump.

Is the solution something you mix yourself or is it better to buy a premixed product?

My thoughts exactly! Maybe mimic the 426 street hemi progressive linkage. Best of luck with your choice.

Going to the dyno soon BBC 500 cid, HEI distributor. Moroso spiral core wires were recommened. Open to any suggestions. Thanks

I would love to NASCAR go back to it's original concept. Stock cars, stock suspensions, stock motors. Ford's new pushrod seems like a good candidate. Win on Sunday, sell on Monday would return. Or just go all electric and have battery swapouts in the pits, part of the Green New Deal.

What was the warranty on a new hemi car? I heard it was only 90 days, is it true? Nice to see all the nice muscle cars on the return road. Thanks for posting.
