sc5080 -- Please see questions on Bob w (gonna build a dragster) for you about your T Altered. Thanks old28 Tom W [S[S[S
Not on as often as I like but I was able to answer all of Tom’s questions in a message. Still haven’t sold the car.We've got three meets scheduled. The Outa Sight Drags at the historic Union Grove, WI. Great Lakes Dragway, The free weekend at Brainerd, MN, and the Fall-Out drags at Rock Falls Dragstrip in Wisconsin.
In an effort to break in to the 10.50's, I purchased a more aggressive cam from Oregon Cams. We ran two 750 Holley carbs last year but will be switching the main bodies to 600cfm. They will still have vacuum secondaries. Hopefully a little leaner will make it a little meaner.
Old 28, Sorry for the very late response. I am sorry to hear about your health battles. I am on that doorstep too. Fighting it as long as I can. I doubt you will get answers from Larry about his altered on my thread. He's not here very often. Best wishes to Dixie and you as we all fight against the ravages of time.
Tom hasn't been on since November 16th. Hope he's alright.Hi Larry. I shouldn't speak for others. Haven't heard from Tom for a while. I hope he's okay. Race cars don't bring the money they should.
There's a select few people that want to go as quick and fast as Sheets & Giggles so that cuts down the potential buyers.
11.11 on 1/3 throttle? Does that mean you are way over carbed? Or you will run 6's if the throttle opens all the way?Another Fall Out Drags in the books. A great event with over 300 nostalgia cars. I spent 2 days adjusting valves timing and jets on the dragster. It didn't go as expected. Two big problems were the throttle stop I added limited the carbs to opening only a third of the way. I found that after the last run. Still ran 11.11 on one third throttle. Then I discovered cracks where the pipes are welded to the header flange. Not wanting to risk a header falling off and driving over it, we called it a day.
I didn't take pics, except for the Dura Chrome Bug funny car that came all the way from California for this event.View attachment 182629View attachment 182633View attachment 182634
