Thanks

Awesome!
Have you tried different final gear ratios? Seems tall but obviously you are getting it to work. How low is that first gear? What are trap rpms?

FE Technical Forum / Re: rear tire clearance left vs. right

I was at a cruise last night and a guy showed me his 68 XR7 rear tires not being evenly spaced. I told him it’s not uncommon. My 67 Fairlane is tighter on passenger side.
I like some of the loosening/tightening ideas above. Might get you closer to even.

FE Technical Forum / Re: Where to attach 4 chain engine tilter?
« on: September 17, 2025, 03:00:33 PM »
Doug, will there be an intake on the test fit engine? 2 x 4 perhaps? I use a plate on each carb opening and two chains on the tilter, ( one to each plate). The plates have three holes and the front & rear chains don’t have to match locations on the plates.

Joe, you can wheel in on eliminations day, ( Sunday). You will only get one time trial however. You must pick one of the Elimination Classes
If you get serious about going let me know ahead of time.

« on: August 27, 2025, 09:17:35 PM »
I would put an electric choke on the front carb. Let it warm up that way. Set the kickdowns for 1600-1800 for high and 1200 for low. Don’t even look at the A/F until you have some heat in motor/ exhaust. Idling cold with a big cam will give confusing numbers. ( and a cam with a lot of overlap combined with a low idle can give skewed numbers even when warm)
Drive at least two miles before you get to tuning/worrying about cruise A/F.

My Magnum 500s are on car so can’t measure backspace. I believe the fronts are 3.5” BS. 225/60-15 np.
As far as out back goes you can run 255s with any number of back space combos. Soon as you try to put a 275 in there everything changes.

FE Technical Forum / Re: Converting Holley 4160 short bowl carbs to true dual feed for 2X4 setup ?
« on: August 15, 2025, 01:30:24 PM »
Many racers have got it done with transfer tubes. However, to rule out any possible fuel supply worries I fed each bowl. Used braided steel lined hose with AN fittings. Quick Fuel carbs with transfer tube left in place so fighting with O rings can still manifest. I would share images but they are jpeg and I cannot execute the attachment.

Seems like a lot of back spacing for a front wheel. More appropriate for the rear. You already have the rims?
