Love your 62 but I have a real soft spot for 63s.

Great HP but torque is brutal all across the board.

That’s great Doug. Should wake that Mach 1 right up. What are you doing with your top loader. I’m imagining there’s another upgrade happening.

Can’t go wrong with BFG T/As. They look great and drive great, good sidewall strength and last a long time barring burnouts.

Ouch, sorry hey it could have been worse. Did you have the wheels off recently nothing in your post has anything to do with the front.

The Calvert 90/10s. Stock suspension no sway bar. I mean it’s what a lot of guys run so it’s aggravating when it doesn’t hook. I get traction at beaver and my bosses track. I know this track isn’t the greatest but there’s plenty of guys there that hook.

Yeah it could have been a lot worse. Just pulled the trigger on split mono leafs. Maybe that will give me some extra traction.

I would polish with a very light compound and then polish. A couple of specs of dirt won’t slow you down. And your probably gonna have stickers on it.

Looks great. Really coming along now. Love the color. Just painted my dads 33 Ford and it came out really good was surprised myself. Yours looks great too. I know your worried about orange peel but don’t wet sand to much (ask me how I know).

I agree with Brent. Your combo probably doesn’t call for the bigger pro Maxx head anyway. But getting Trickflow or the BBMs would benifit you in the long run.

So I went to the track again today. I went to the track we have here on the island. I don’t know why but every time I go here I blow the tires off first pass. Even if I do an extended burnout. So this was a bracket race called nastolgia drags and I was feeling good because car was fairly consistent at the Beaver. So they were running late so we only got one time trial which didn’t help me because I spun at the line. So not knowing what to dial in I just dialed what I ran here 3 weeks ago (7.00). So right before we went up to the lanes almost at the same time me and my dad said we need the other guy to relight or something so I can get a baseline run. So we go up and I’m running someone with the same dial in as me. We both set the bottom bulb and I see something fly into the middle of the two lanes it was his alternator belt. The starter guy tells me to back up and shut car so I do. So I got exactly what I needed a free pass (God is good). Not 10 seconds later he tells me to come up and I take off and car is surging and bucking and I look down and I didn’t turn my fuel pump back on. Free pass ruined. So know I still don’t know what to dial so I dialed a 7.10 thinking if I get ahead I could let off. But you also don’t want to give away time either. So I go up to the line and get paired with one of the best guys at the track that races every weekend somewhere. When I saw he dialed a 6.05 I lowered my dial back to 7.00. I couldn’t give him a tenth he was to good. So we go up and I finally got traction but for some reason it didn’t run clean in first had a little sputter but still moving along. I am getting close to the end of the track and he’s coming on strong and I’m still on it but lifting very slightly. We both crossed the line close but I beat him but I ran a 6.97.
It was a very aggravating day. So I could have went into TNT but I figured racing three weeks in a row was good enough. So it was 2 grand to win and before I got there I felt good about my chances but that’s racing. Had a good time with dad though.

So just for information I’m not doing this for horsepower and not really doing for cooling although I did here at low cruising speeds an electric might be better especially in slow moving traffic. I don’t really drive the car a lot maybe 300 miles a year but when I’m at the track the few times a year I would be able to turn water pump on and cool the car down in between rounds. This year at the reunion the rounds went fast especially cause they wanted to get rounds in because of possible bad weather. My car runs a good tenth better if I get to the line at 170 compared to 190 and have the fans come on.

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Electric water pumps

I was looking at electric pumps and it says they are 35 gallons per hour. I thought I read that someone has a 55 gallon per hour. Anybody know a part number to it. And what is the gallons per hour on a edelbrock regular pump or a regular pump in general.
