My old Mastersbilt came with 4" backspace wheels…. most guys run 5". Any advantage to 4" other than more clearance for the LR bars and RR frame rail?
I can run 10" set-back with an iron head motor but only 6" with aluminum heads. Which would YOU run assuming both create equal power?
What outside dimensions are these newer fuel cells I see most guys running… they are longer front to rear and narrow side to side. Most are 22 gallon IIRC. My old 32 gallon cell needs rust repair and I'm not sure I want to carry that much fuel.
I haven't run alky since we dabbled in running coupe modifieds in the late 60's. Since it's unlikely I'll spend the $$$ to buy a fancy belt drive fuel pump what would be a good alternative?
I have a great carb guy but he only does gas carbs (though he will rebuild alky carbs). Will a factory Holley or lower buck C&S get the job done on a 550 HP 367?
Will an HEI dizzy be sufficient to fire this thing?
What about brake bias? How much do you run in the heats with a medium wet track and how much front brake do you dial in on the dry slick?
RF electric brake shut-off… yes or no. My car has it and I've used a manual shut-off back in the stone age. It always worked for me but i need your opinions.
Brake pad material? This car has Wilwood Super Lite calipers with what appears to be 1.25" rotors.
More to follow….
