    Oil Pressure gauge

    I am on my third oil pressure sending unit and have under 5,000 miles on my Heritage. My symptoms were that it would randomly show normal pressure, then 15-20 pounds less than normal, then back to normal again, all at a constant car and engine speed. New sending units brought it instantly all...

    Today's picture of the car that ran the world'd first four-second quarter mile

    Very cool pictures. I'll bet that was a great day. I never tire of looking at well built high performance machinery. Good on you for getting her wet and making noise--after all, that's kinda the whole point!

    Today's picture of the car that ran the world'd first four-second quarter mile

    RALPHIE, the gears were 1.63, and the tattle-tale tach showed 8650 on the NDBA record run, with a 11 1/8 x 20 Menkens prop. I used 96% Nitro that day, with no alcohol in the mix. She rode plenty free, as you can see in the pictures.

    Today's picture of the car that ran the world'd first four-second quarter mile

    Yes that is a Crower mechanical fuel injection setup, and it worked great on 98% Nitro. With that much Nitro, fairly high compression, and not much flywheel at all with the Lenco clutch, the throttle response was unreal! The blown fuel guys would all come down to my pits when I warmed up, just...
