I have gotten my fuel tank extension welded at last. As seen in the photo section it is 24" long and designed to fit under the right sidepod. After carefully...
13 gallons! That's nearly 80 lbs of fuel. If you figure about 30 mpg on the road, that's 390 miles. You should be able to balance the car perfectly, as mine is...

I got bored last week and ordered a Megajolt kit which arrived yesterday. I have most of the Ford stuff needed already and will pick up a Ford ignition...
I put a MegaJolt on the Toyota motor in my Seven, and i have to say it was the best thing i ever bought for the car. With the new Tuning program you can do a...
Oil gauge? Oil pressure, oil temperature, Oil level? I am assuming oil pressure, so you will probably run the simple flex line(this eliminates any possible...
It will be interesting to see how Michael's system works. I am running the Pertronix racing distributor with a Pertronix Second Strike. Ignition is stable, and...
The knock sensor option was one reason I was interested in this system. They have info regarding a GM sensor on the autosportlabs site, and the designer has...
The Maniflow for SUs has a balance pipe. I tried lots of advance at light throttle, high vacuum, and got lots of knock. This also occurs on stock engines with...
I recommend caution when putting the MAP sensor fitting at the bottom of the manifold. On non multi point fuel injected engines, there is a tendancy for the...
I think I will tap into the balance pipe, on the upper surface, to prevent fuel collecting in the MAP sensing tubing. I am curious as to what my final numbers...
Hi Guys, Due to a recent intervention from a cardiologist who rebuilt my failing high pressure, low flow pump, I am regretfully selling my Westfield Eleven on...
I've already passed this onto the few people I know that are interested. I would love to have the XI if times were different for me. I guess I'd really like...

... It's a great post isn't it? And look at how they mounted the E- brake handle under the scuttle. That's like Jan suggested to me a while back, our structure...

With over 1,500 miles on the 1380, I decided to remove the cylinder head to correct an oil leak at the front hot side of the head. It was annoying, and getting...
