I turned with my drill press and have it figured out. Thank you!

I have it figured out as I used my CraftsMan drill press motor & belt to power/rotate pump. Large hole is side pulls air into pump from engine crankcase/valvecovers and will have an adjustable vacuum break and exhales through the smaller hole at rear of pump which will go to breather tank.

I don't know which is suction/into pump and which is outflow. It has a large 1" port and a smaller 3/4" one which I think goes to puke tank?? A picture I can't copy at the moment.

I haven't used pipemax for a while, tried to use it today and it said I was not registered, Like What!! I registered it years ago when I bought it and has been working great! I filled it out to register it today and site took it and said I was registered, but program says I'm not registered?? Does a...

Years ago like in late 1980's I bought a Bunch of boxes, different grits, diameters all for the 1/8" mandrel. They were/are Merit Epoxy glue and never unroll. I also bought different size, etc of flap rolls and everything has been great.

I needed a new carb for son's 412W on a new build for drag racing. Sent specs on engine/answered all questions of him and he sent an Holley 1100 cfm Dominator carb w/3 systems air bleeds. 2 system would have been adequate as mid range made carb way too rich so I removed center air bleed. Jetted down...

I jack up front of car 1 to 2 inches over stationary ride height for race height. I set camber at 0*, caster +5* and 1/16-1/8" toe in on our 64/65 Falcons.

I use air die grinders and made an adjustable slowness using a painting regulator w/gauge to vary speed and a valve to use it or not. Leave long lever main line off and open small lever to get slowness, when finished turn it off and open large full pressure valve.

Dave, I don't care if there is a flow loss as car runs faster than I intended it to and noise level is very tolerable.

My car went from 98 down to 85 DBA and it didn't run any different, slower or faster.

Just to give you an idea. I have made 2 sets of collector mufflers/noise suppressors for our drag race cars. On my old headers 7/8" tube to collector which is 3" DB A scale 96 or 98, new ones are 3 step 1-5/8, 1-3/4, 1-7/8 into 3" collector DB A scale 85. Headers made for sons 412W ar...

Can Nitrogen be used to replace Co2 for Drag Race Cars? Cost differences, etc. I already am using nitrogen in slicks and have a 20lb?? bottle in race trailer.

Dual reservoir mstr cyl? Is the front wheels feed line from mstr cyl teed to each wheel equal in length lines and hoses?

I know about the depth and check it religiously. Back in the 70's?? Arlen Fadely built a Boss 302 for a Maverick. If I remember they h.ad that problem and caused problems I believe?? This is a FoMoCo hyd roller cam block, no idea of year. What I am questioning is if any gear is Melonized why the bas...

I have a friend installing a Sniper f.i. on 8.2 SBF with dist that has a melonized cast iron gear. Before I realized this I had looked at all replacement gears and determined a melonized gear works with any camshaft and he has a hyd roller camshaft. He bought the car as is and have no idea of brand ...

Since the cast iron gear melonized be used with any camshaft like a steel melonized gear? I would assume the steel one for high rpms?
