How about a 6x2 for a Buick Nailhead. Oh, and it's for sale or trade as well.

Mikey -
Very glad your 406(?) is running right! Prepping for the 6-71 on mine. Blowers don't like inlet restriction, according to my machinist/dyno man. That larger carb may give it a lot more.
Any idea what your "A" weighs?

Norm Thatcher. Crabby old bastard, but he could make a Mopar haul ass.

 

Car weight about 2300 with full fuel cell and me in it. Any ideas or info, post here, this thread is also for tuning .

 

I ran the car with the 950 last year with good results, then the float bowel level kept changing for some reason ? So I am going over the 950. and see what the result will be. It is a Quick Fuel blower carb. Fuel system has also been re-done.

 

Thanks Mikey! Gotta say, this big block is already the strongest engine I've ever ran. Can't wait!
It's been said, there's two kinds of hot rodders. Those with blowers,and those who want them. Probably not 100% accurate, but true in my case.

YIKES !!!

Eliminator Test Car

 

Think they've got enough over drive on that blower?!!

 

I was thinking the same thing!!! 460% over! (measured it in a drafting program)
MOTOR 8,000 RPM = BLOWER 36,800 RPM!

 

Kinda makes you wonder who they were trying to eliminate the competition or the driver

 

It probly wasn't a real efficient blower and had to overdrive it that much to develop boost


Chrome don't get ya home

 

The numbers are like the centrifugal blowers the Novi's ran. Those who saw the Novi's run at Indy say they sounded like a pissed off banshee.

 

I love that shot !! I never saw it before

Love that cross ram, NICE!!!

 

Tuning Post. Well I rebuilt the 950 DP and stuck it on the blower. She fired right up. AFR #s are even better, 13.9- 14 3 at idle. She has a bit of a roll, hunt, or blower surge what ever you want to call it, but hardly any when dropped into gear. I need to take her out and do some test hits, and see what the #s are at steady driving. May have to play with jetting yet, and primary PV. Secondary PV is blocked, no pv.

 

Looks like a lonely sugar bowl in the middle of a big dining room table.

 

My guess with the larger carb on the blower it can breath better and let more air in with the fuel.

 

Its a big turbo converted to belt drive, you gotto spin 'em real fast to make 'em spool.

 

OK someone teach the Old man. What are these uh, injectors?

 

I asked several people at the show, no one could tell me. they look vaguely familiar though...
