Chuck asked, so I'll add my few shots. -Brian
I just had some time to check and found out those carbs DO have an accelerator pump. Sorry for the confusion. You'll still be limited in...
I'm not familiar with those carbs, but I'll jump on the "it probably won't work well" bandwagon due to the general aircraft carb simplicity. They...
I haven't had any luck finding more information. I'm curious how much of the car is American and how much Japanese. I can't make out the letters...
I was digging through the 7th Fighter Command photo archives and found this little proto-lakester made from a P-51 drop tank. The photo caption...

Let's simply things a bit and then move on to the types of shocks. Imagine a large sedan sitting still. You press down hard on the front bumper...
Thanks for the offer, but I haven't got the time or the space to store it until I do have the time. Too many projects as it is... Brian
I once wrenched on a D-model Devin with Porsche/VW running gear. It was a beautiful machine. It's one of those classic cars that seems most at...
Thanks for the link. I found this one amazing - more of a public service announcement than an advertisement. I found it here:...
Dago Red was AWOL. Strega and Voodoo kept up Merlin V12 honors. Voodoo maydayed with a trashed blower 2nd stage. Rare Bear lost the race engine...
