You are sure right there Jeff! A compression tester? Is it Bluetooth??? Will it work on my IPhone?

Yes the precision of the fuel delivery is important but, you still see the best "all out" horsepower from a carburetor. As old as that design is, on the dyno a well tuned carb has been proven over...

Welcome SDTJ! The KW catalog is required in every bathroom! I remember those catalogs well. Very dog eared by the time Christmas arrived.

Welcome Todd! It looks clean. It wont take you long to get her "dialed in".

It really does show the evolution of combustion technology. A GM "Gen V" L83 Engine has 11 to 1 compression and runs on 87 octane fuel with 32 degrees of ignition timing. That is just Wow!

gm I think you are totally all over it. The CAN system certainly has increased the cost and complexity of a relatively straight forward device, the pickup truck. My 1977 does everything my 2015 does,...

The main criteria for me was to find a Willys that still had the floor actuator. I wouldn't give that up for all the tea in china!

It is getting very hard to find the shops we were so used to in...

It cant be.... The Heep is never down!

Since we are going on an octane journey here, I like this chart. Notice how even though we "got the lead out" and octane ratings stabilized, compression ratios continued to climb. In fact some of the...

Awesome Larry! The 48' is back on the road! I will be taking peeJ out this week myself. I cant wait for the first show.

Teaching is a noble profession. It is in my opinion the most important thing some humans can provide to others. It creates evolution. Without it we don't survive very well.

Your a little too hard...

Yikes! 68 Octane... sounds like dishwater from the greasy spoon.

Light bar, Hahaha! That should definitely hold the lights. Officially when you hooked it to the frame, it became a "Roll Bar".

I agree with gm on all counts!

The accelerator pump should be checked for exactly what you are looking at 56'. It is imperative that the accelerator pump delivers fuel as soon as the throttle...

56', I promise you I have seen more boy's passed on the track that didn't understand the basics, than I have seen those that did understand get passed. When you start where you are starting, things...

Oh man TJ...... almost there. Nice wheels man!

You are really doing well on the project 56'! A lot of progress there. You hit it right on the money with "....Smiles per gallon". I think you can tell, the old guys are diggin' your work!

56' I truly enjoy "hopping up" motors. I have been at that since I was 6 years old. Some motors lend themselves well to a hop up. Some do not. A 4 cylinder 134ci flat head motor wont yield much. A...

It seems I did read somewhere about a "Higher Compression" head for the F134. gm will find it. The way to tell is to measure the combustion chamber volume and compare. The higher compression head...

Running the drag strip with your vintage Jeep is an easy pass. Put your flags all on, turn on your lights and roll up to the start line. No burn out. Stage, and gently engage the clutch at the green...

Not a bad price for a good upholstery job. It is getting Very difficult to find upholstery shops anymore, let alone those that are craftsman.

Working at the Dragway..... Awesome way to spend the...

You are definitely on a roll there 56', not long now. Plus or minus 1/4" sounds like the factory spec! You did the carb the best you can. It sounds like you scrubbed her out pretty good! The good...

In first your motor had the power to overcome the brake. In fourth it could not. It sounds like the engine is running well and the park brake is functioning, carry on Steve! The clutch is engaged.

Hahahaha! That is just perfect 56'.

Nice Cat! I like the upholstery job. The windshield gasket can give you blisters that's for sure.
