For those of you who are tired of working on the real one, there is now a ready made model on the market to look at! As far as I know the first model of a...
Lonnie; That's one of the problems with big carbs and consequent low velocity thru the venturi, the fuel doesn't want to atomize and stay in suspension very...
... Well, they kind of are. We all love these cars, but let's face it, they have a few weak points. Of course, so do most other marques. I'm in it for the...
JD: Do you have the Lancia Gold portfolio? There's a test in there "944 vs. Montecarlo" that you might be interested in, it includes some insightful direct...
Torque rods: You guys remember the old pic of the red SCCA scorp with the torque rod on the strut brace? Fine if you have a strut brace, but what if you don't,...
Ditto on what Chris said, try readjusting your shift linkage to where it was, and also check the bushing in the crossmember by trying to push the bottom of the...

Hi! Don't forget to send a memo to the manufacturer(s), to forward the VINs to you. VIN 0870 , latest in my collection. Gold, 1976. A semi- 037 body replica ...

... The problem is your spark plug gap is too large so the high boost pressure blows it out. Try regapping the plugs a bit narrower. Been there, done that. ...

Will, Here is something for you to help me rationalize; Since increase in temperature of the cylinder head/combustion chamber help promote detonation,...

Eddy: Convection- the water is heated and rises through the block, the water pump just helps it along. If you tried to reverse the process, you might find that...
... too? A lot less so, since the injectors atomize the fuel a lot better. Usual injector pressure is about two atmospheres above ambient, which gives you a...
Dave, Craig, that's on my agenda today. I'm using Denso Iridium plugs. They come pre-gapped and suggest not to change the factory gap setting. I'm going to...
Eddy, It's been done. Corvette experimented with reversed flow on the ZR-1. While it proved more efficient, flow patterns and passage shapes had to be ...
Jeff, The gap requirement is determined by the IGNITION system not the plug manufacturer. Always set the gap to the car's requirements. Lancia calls for ...
Not using a stock marrelli coil ;^P from Denso: Q. Do I need to set the gap? A. Generally, no. The DENSO Iridium Power plug comes pre-set with a protective...
Will, What does CSI stands for? The external water pump I know is electric (ofcourse) and you have the option where to pump the cooled water from the radiator,...

Eddy, Pure ethylene glygol does not have the heat transfer capacity of a 50/50 mix, meaning it won't cool as well. If you are designing an engine from scratch,...
Jeff, Why not configure you ignition system using one coil for each spark plug? You don't have to worry about saturation (point type) time. I guess you...
