Howdy ya all, This is for a 1963 Latham Supercharger (10 Ring) that I was fortunate enough to purchase from the original owner! I put it on my...
Howdy ya all, some of you may remember this build and I'll say thanks in advance for helping me get this combination to where it's at...it's been...
Sounds like a fun one! I'll take a look at yours...unfortunately this one's will go up for auction soon. I can't enjoy the car with the Latham...
For what it's worth...'62 327 with the Latham taking up the entire front end. Original road draft tube, genuine vintage Offenhauser breathers...
Thanks, it's been a fun one!
Thanks Lou, your Avatar photo has always looked intriguing! Enjoy
Mini velocity stacks hammered out, seemed like a period correct technique.
A couple more items sorted...there was a bit too much pressure inside, so I finally found some proper Offenhouser valve cover breathers. And for...
And just a FYI for the Latham guys, I went back to the NO metering rod setup and simply ran .072 jets. I'm not in the mood to create "club foot"...
[ATTACH] Moon Recovery Tank
I agree, I'm actually anxious to know! I think it's ready now too, my old Moon coolant overflow tank is mounted and the driveshaft safety loop is...
Thanks, it does pull pretty hard, 4th gear is the one that really gets me...it grabs so hard and feels like it wants to take ya to 180mph....
Thanks and thanks for all your insights along the way. It's still a work in progress but I can pretty much enjoy it for the entire season as is...
Not very professional video, however, it's insightful :) [MEDIA]
Thanks Enloe, the overall unit really is cool! The linkage is truly just a crude knock off of premier European engineering. Lacking user friendly...
Thanks Jim, as you know they're a lot of fun! Little by little:)
Tried for a driving video on my way to town (twice) but I guess I missed the record button twice? So this is all I can do for now....
You're right enloe, I need to post a video. I'll try for it on the next dry day!
Another element roughed in...driveshaft safety loop installed.
This person took the use of epoxy too far! Decided to upgrade to Spicer u-joints and this is what the slip yoke looked like.
Hurst Reverse Lock Out is finally installed![ATTACH]
Purely posting this one with hopes of finding one of those "far more experienced" folks out there! I've been trying to dial in AFR's off and on...
Seems like a lot of time and winter weather has passed playing around with these carbs and linkages! Hoping some 75-1716 metering rods will get...
Well Merry Christmas to me! Thanks Jim, it seems to have worked switching the expansion tank to the 3/4" heater hose!!! Not much time to test but...
Thanks for your insight, I’ll keep it in mind. I’m not convinced it’s a happy system yet though.
Yes sir, now I can move onto understanding this Uni-Syn carb syncing unit!!!
I did fill it with an evacuator as an initial potential solution but it acted the same. If I try it now, knowing what I know maybe it would help...
Seems so but between that purging and a gauge reading 245*, it told me to shut it down. My error it seems!
I wondered about that last night but let it go because the current challenge is something beyond vacuum advance and I truly want to run the '63...
I'm not saying this is 100% yet but it worked on a cold start this morning!!! After Jim's insight, which definitely was logical...I just needed...
