ANOTHER 350 PROJECT

[Fox's Den]

I told you to put those headers on LOL. The pics look great. I like the idea of the 2 4 bbls on it but I don't like the Edel. carbs. Holley set up looks good and is lower on the engine, still can't see over the top though. Was that just 1 Holley on that one? Two 500 Holleys' would look cool. I see you have a lot of stuff in the garage.

Ride a indoor bike to keep the knees loose, it will help. Epsom salt with a half box of baking soda in a hot as heck bath will calm down the pains. I know, I get all bent up at work and stand the whole time.

I also see you have a new driver in there. See that tach at the 7 grand redline.

new driver is a LOT THINNER than the old driver, but just as nutty. lol
the rubber spacing in the knee joint is pretty much gone. squatting is killing me. gonna raise the dragster a little higher to work on it.

I am going to one carb. that 2 carb stuff was part of buying it. john wants and enderle bug catcher on it, I want a hilborn. no monies here, so the holley wins. see what happens after going to big al's.

doing something different the first time is always different. there is no history to look at from somebody else to make it easier for yourself.
that said, got a belt retainer, new belt and carb plate and if you don't measure things correctly, things ain't gonna work at well. when I put on the belt, it rubs on part of the retainer. I need to get a smaller pulley. actually need 2 smaller because of the bolt pattern and swing arm collide. sheesh, what a spaghetti mess. change modify, change modify. never stops. so much for getting it running this week.

Your problem is you have no one to shade your brow for you or to get you a cold drink.

perusing the internet for info on gas turbines, I came across this book on rocker arms, etc. I don't think I will be buying it.

put on the new blower plate. put on the 4-71 and added all the other stuff. 850 we have needs work. need a real carb guy. use the old trusty 650 on it. got it started today. it runs. YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH. need to fine tune it. doesn't sound any different yet, but it rocks the rail when I blip it.

[gsjohnny]

bunch of little things to be done. i.e. the hei and the belt guard are having a close relationship. want to install the magneto, but that might be worse. may have to go back to a point dist and have it hei'd.
debating on how to hook up the pedal cable. topside, bottom side, etc, etc. or buy a new longer cable. these 2 items and the carb are the prime issues to getting it to test. have to clean up dirt from all the dirt collected.
yup, never go back to a door car......

840hp.......we struggle to make 50hp with a buick 350. damn...we must be doing something wrong.

[gsjohnny]

damn age thing. when I took the carb linkage apart, I put the special clip I made away. I wonder where that away is. I had to make another one. will finish everything else for Sunday's driveway test with the new setup. stay tuned.

[gsjohnny]

best laid plans are not always best. if we were going to alky or nitro, all this other stuff would be unnecessary. belt idler hits the upper rad hose. turned down the edges to help not touch each other. have to get longer belt or smaller pulley to alleviate this issue. had to buy another battery for it. just need to add water and go test sunday.

[gsjohnny]

wasn't waiting for sunday or the driver. took it out today. first launch about 2800 on the trans brake made a nice wheelie. did another. did a third off idle. sure seems a lot quicker now. the engine didn't notice that it had a 650 on it. not one issue with a small carb. we'll see what happens when I get the 850 on it.
a happy day till the driver breaks it. lol
