1964 ford falcon all moly tube car

heres go pro of the first full pass, during license.  I  thought I had low oil pressure running down the track but I was wrong.  the gopro is pretty darn good tool to have.  this was late last summer.                                        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6qC0u_YCR4

That was cool, thanks for posting that video!  I gotta get my car out...

[MeanGene]

Except it's done 



Think it'll hook?

[Barry_R]

Wow.
Way cool!
I NEEEEEEDED to here that...!
Car looks great.
See you at Beaver in a couple weeks.

Barry.  I am trying like hell to get out to beaver springs but I am not making any promises.  I would love to have you do your tuning magic on it.

Mean Gene.  when I bought this falcon it had a boss 302 in it, and a lenco.  I bought it from a guy at the time as a roller,  he kept the drivetrain.  I am thinking it was about 8 to 10 years ago.   but the guy he bought the car from was in Washington state.  Is that you?

plus when my friend sent me that video. I just needed to hear some noise I just still have the winter blas

Jay.   This was at Sabin MN.  let me know when you wanna go to the track and we can put a beating on the bowties.

Looks like it spent time between 7200 and 7400 on that interior video

Cool videos, and a healthy car! Just like I think the dyno section should be required to have photos, I think the Strip Results section should require video

Watching the oil pressure gauge, it drops for just a split second as you launch. I wonder if it's uncovering the pick-up for just a moment?

[fairlanegt427]

i have shift lite at 6500 that way its at 6800 when i bang  the next gear.  from that angle it looks higher but it hasn't been past 7200 per the tattle tale tach and that is at the end of a full pass.  And so far i have only been able to do just 1. 

[fairlanegt427]

I noticed the oil pressure drop on launch and at the end of the full pass also when i popped the chute,  it dances around a lot then also.  wonder if Barry can chime in on the oil pressure down spikes on launch and at the end off throttle.  as much as i don't want to put more "stuff" on my car,  is a pressurized oil accumulator something i need or do i just live with it?

[jayb]

I think an accumulator would solve the problem and save a lot of bearing wear on the motor.  You really don't want to see the oil pressure drop at any time on the track.  If you don't want to do that, you could try adding an extra quart of oil and seeing of that solves the problem.  My Galaxie had a tendency to drop oil pressure at the end of the track on decelleration, and an extra quart and a half of oil solved the problem.
