Technical *** June 2016 Banger Meet - Time for Crickets and June bugs***

No worries, we may not be racing for a while.
Sorry to hear that you are going through that, been there, done that.
When you do finally make it, look us up, we will have more adult beverages than tools in our pit.

Got the car back togther switched the cast iron malory out for a advancing unit got the spark plug issue sorted hopefully and a new head gasket almost ready for the dirt drags !


Sent from my SGH-I317M using H.A.M.B. mobile app

 

Interested to hear how you resolved the spark plug issue...

 

Going to use an exstended tip 3/4" reach (1" -14mm doesn't isn't made) Still is ample piston clearance but will get the spark out of the hole

 

OK I'm back in town

 

well I'm glad . it was a job to keep the news papers from piling up at the front door . hope all is ok ..

 

Were the papers in Polish? If not your watching the wrong house on Goggle Earth

 

Are you working in the shop, Bluto?

 

ooopppsss no they were not . disregard

 

Not much Doug. Hand tremors still....

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hope you can open the package I'm mailing tomorrow. Bob

 

first time she stranded me so far

 

Nice car,.. except for the flatuency of the perimeter!

 

Where can I find actual winfield cam specs. I recently aquired a winfield ca. Just trying to figure out what it is

 

search up Brierley cams, Jim has the masters and all the specs.

Gotta watch out for those French tires! They'll go down on ya....

 

It is only flat on the bottom if you turn it around a little it will be fine
that is how mine takes a break

 

search up Brierley cams, Jim has the masters and all the specs.
can you be more specific as one link had a virus ............ steve

 

from my preliminary measurements the Winfield cam has .340 lift or just under that maybe .334. I cant read the markings on the one end of it and the other is stamped Winfield clearly. It came with a engine I bought in pieces with a iron miller cragar ohv and a wico mag.

 

so are you saying you have an extra cragar ?

 

I only have one and if I had a dozen would any of them really be "extra" lol

On another note I'm trying to finish the exhaust on my car out the back. I started w 2.25 off the cast iron header. I'm thinking I should go to 2" and scrap the 2.25 or maybe just neck the tailpipe down to 2" everything I have read says 2" single will support around 150hp easily. I'm not making 150 or close ro it but hoping w the ohv I'll be closer to that than I am now. Anyone have any thoughts. The 2.25 that goes about 2.5 feet off the cast iron header us way to loud and annoying. It doesn't have any tone. It was temporary anyhow and now it's time to do it right.

 

LOL good luck

 

In the list I have of Brierley cams he has one listed as 280V, duration is 280 lift is .336 It will work with a flathead or Cragar.

 

try this one:
