427 SBF

Did you get oil to each rocker quickly or just spin it and figure good enough?
I've done both with SBC and BBC, don't know much about Fords. GM can take forever to get all 16 going sometimes.

Best of luck on dyno day. Sounds like you have a decent place to dyno if they feel the need to upgrade the dyno. Hopefully they have a 50+ yo that knows how to work on a carb.

Still on YB & dragraceresults. On YB I'll open a thread with 12 replies and only 3 show up. Alot of ignore there.
DRR is dead and like 10 members talking to themselves. Ed & Cone killer was good for business.
I venture to class racer, Ed ruffled some feathers there. He doesn't post anymore, possible banned or self imposed ban.

The guy running the dyno races promod. They have their own engines based on a hemi, as well as their own superchargers.

I went valve by valve, ran the drill until I saw oil at the rocker and set that valve. Guaranteed oiling!

I was a member at Class Racer. Well, I guess I still am, but won't go back there. Bunch of fucktards! I would try to help people with EFI questions and would see others give out bad or incorrect info, got tired of the fighting. Many thought they knew far more than me. Maybe one out of 100 did. I don't claim to be the best, but I do know my stuff. So I left there, I don't need to hear their shit.

Wanna know what many of them like to do? Run the injectors at static and adjust A/F via fuel pressure. It's a monkey-see monkey-do attitude in the Class Racer world. Ass Racer is more like it. I have built and driven NHRA Stock Eliminator cars, they actually looked me up to see if I was actually a racer. Fuck them.

I know people that will take their new springs and put them through the wringer!

They will squeeze them down to coil bind three times.

Then check the pressure (the correct way) on the bench at both the installed height and the open height.

By checking the pressure the correct way. I have seen people check their dual springs with a bench top checker. The problem is, they did the springs together, inner and outer at the same time. Well, the retainers usually have a step about .060 inch tall on the inner. So when they check a dual spring the inner is not contributing it's full amount, unless they use the retainer at the same time.

I check them by themselves. I can mix and match them to get them closer to each other that way. It probably does not matter at my level of racing anyway.

I do buy the better polished springs for my engine. My wife got the same spring, but not polished. She doesn't race that much, has far less cam than I do, and almost 1000 rpm less. I am using PAC-1325's, she gets the 1225's. $200 difference in price. Same retainers locks and seats. I even splurged and got her the same valves I run. Sometimes I am nice to her. :)

But, I wanted T&D shafts for her engine, till I saw they have doubled in price since I did mine. She gets to keep her stud rockers and stud girdle.

I hope we are as enthusiastic as the classracer crowd when we hit many of their ages.
Saw Cal Method beat Joe Sorensen in a final this past weekend up by Darren’s at Seattle. 82 year old whooping up on the champ. Sorensen I think is my age, 60ish. He and his brother work hard. But Cal been racing since dawn of time.

Interesting. This I didn’t see. I don’t follow efi. You haven’t converted me yet. And yes, I’m 0-1 against you now.
There was an older gentleman Ed Wright from Oklahoma. Early tuner and chip burner. Has since passed but previous took some of my questions and phone calls. Man his car worked. 99 Firebird on the bumper in stock then super stock.

I have it at 16 btdc but have to drop in distributor still. Should be real close.

Didn't want to break something in transport, my luck I'd break distributor off with the hoist
 
Porch!
What porch?
It's Arizona!
Nobody sits outside 'cause it's 140 degrees and you don't need a covered area at the door 'cause...

It never rains in California Arizona

(Actually, I used to drive to Vegas in monsoon season. It can rain like a motherfucker out there!)

Cone Killer is pumping his ego on Chevelles.com lately.
Quite annoying excuse for everything.
