I deny everything, my little jalopy won't go more than 55MPH Besides I don't see me in front of you in the spedo picture.
That's like me following the raven to the HAMB Drags '05. Minus the load and the streacher, I slowed to gawk just of a minute and he was no where to be found. I hate to admit it but sometimes breaking one is fun. How bad did you trash it?
Reggie, thats crazy. Those guys from THEM! will get you in trouble! Glad I got to meet all you guys and glad you made it home finally.
Not too bad....I picked up a bad drivetrain vibration. The combination of the load and trying to get away with a drive shaft that was an inch shorter than it should have been caused the rear tailshaft bushing to spin out.
Not quite a 427....but darn close.....only 406 cubic inches. Flat-Top...it's amaizing what the Uni can do with that Panhandle tailwind.
Yea but going out was a head wind, and my Model A has the aerodynamics of a Studebaker powered cinder block. Did you get the loose oil fitting squared away?
I haven't gotten to the fittings yet....I plan to pull the front clip off this weekend. And by the way, it didn't look like you had a headwind at all. You know, I've followed that black truck for thousands of miles over this country....and I can't get over how cool it is from any angle. I also can't believe no one has bought it from ya.....If I could only fit in it!
I figured it wasn't the engine seeing whereas your pic in post #4 shows your tach at a leisurely 4 or 5 RPM. Must get great mileage!! Too bad you broke down but doing it at speed sure beats overheating in traffic.
Heh heh hee! HAMB's first law of automotive thermodynamics: F = aV/sqrt($) "Fun equal Age times Velocity divided by the square root of price"
