I might have found a good deal on an injector hat(
endrelie , I think) It's a bug catcher , been run on a
355 inch street small block on gas. Is it worth
getting for the 300 inch hemi motor and sending off to
get set up or should I just buy a new one set
specifically for the combination.
I bought the sheet metal for the intake last week , by
the way. It will be much easier that building a Chevy
one -- No distributor angle to figure out .Just a
valley pan and the runner length and angles .I will
build a carb top and an injector top. ah -- a high
tech dinosaur.
Many questions tonight .
Is there any easy way to slow down a pinto rack and
pinion?
The porsche isn't a roller yet but it is getting close
