Dennis G asked for these - from suspension pics
I built the header from two 2" u-bends, and a piece of 4" exhaust pipe. Lots of thought and figuring went into it. The cone part is a a piece of...
My project update is above on this page. I have gone far enough on the engine to use as mock up, then when chassis details are complete, it will...
1300 to 1500 lbs I would guess when complete. This is about the norm for cars of that era, no more than that. This drawing I found is probably...
Not much to report. I refurbished an old sprint car last spring and raced it last summer. That took me away from my champ car project. Gotta...
If its a help, I just ordered the Sierra head gasket set from Wholesale Marine. $74.13 shipping and all. They did show out of stock on just the...
Yes, I know I I'm not getting much done, working on the car right along with the engine, as much as I can. Little update here.[ATTACH][ATTACH]...
I'm not running a balancer. I will have to redo the inlet to suit. The pump was maybe Toyota of some sort, just what ever I thought would work...
Here's my version[IMG] Sent from my XT1585 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I would like to purchase a stock cast aluminum valve cover out of someone's spares pile. Thanks! Sent from my XT1585 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
It's a closed chamber piece that I bought thru eBay couple years ago. Machine work was all complete but head was empty. Had anlocal shop supply...
[IMG]. I haven't been on here for a while, but my project is starting to progress. The chassis is a late 60's Edmunds sprint car chassis,...
Turkey, thought I would post these pics here, may help you, or maybe you're way past this. This is my late 60's Edmunds 4-bar chassis, with Bert...
Good to see that you are on here Mr. Crawford. I have the chassis and some body panels, and plan on bringing it back to life as a champ car. My...
Here is the only other pic we have. Believe Marion is in the seat in this pic and not the other.[ATTACH]
This could be tough. This car may have been part of the kerosene circuit, it was based out of Milroy IN from about 1935 to 1940. It's owner was...
Somewhere in this thread I saw that it was specified to use the flexplate from an 84 5.0 Mustang. I made a mental note of it at the time, but...
Stan- yours and mine are close, maybe Cooks had a hand in mine as well?
Looking for some history on this chassis- Have tracked it pretty much from present back to about '78 when Jack Crawford ran it back east....
Here's what we recently came up with, used it at Haubstat, worked great. Pushed sprint (even up onto the trailer!) and quarter midget.
Oh, you let the cat out of the bag! But yeah, even if I have to have a gentle assist from Bro's 4-wheeler that's gonna be the easy way out. Plus...
You might just space out the trailing edge of those side panels as a trial and see what happens. Maybe you would leave them spaced out or it will...
Thanks Dave, and I'll be interested in seeing how you work out your injection setup.
The only rules that we watch out for in our club ( as far as I know!) is safety. We just yellow flag lap, don't race, and just present our cars...
Isn't technology wonderful! I am involved in vintage open wheel race cars, and a while back decided to put one together myself. With so many...
Chassis appears to be somewhat early Edmunds sprint (no cage). It's already had 24 inches added to it for an auto trans, but that's coming back...
I assume that when you fire it, you're leaving the spark off until the starter winds up the engine as much as it can. Then flipping the ignition...
And sometimes the good ones are just right under your nose.... http://umra.com/about/crocky-wright/
Here's a list of UMRA drivers all-time from their website. http://umra.com/about/drivers-list-history/ Roland is still around, I visit with...
Without research I would say that was Steve Schern from Wanamaker In, logtime UMRA member.
