Ripper Good Mate, I’ve been machining a 1:25 scale Top Fuel Complete Dragster & needed some close up Pic’s, as well as Pic’s taken while disassembled. All to draw up to small scale & start machining parts. Your video Hit EVERYTHING NEEDED!!! 👏👏👏👏👏Saved me so much time- THANK U!!!! Lee ☯️ZenModeling
Awesome vidjeo sir would like so many more like it recently Jack beckman called an event in Bredenten FL. i learned so much much about the fuel cars thank you for sharing Sir
Nice to see you're still up and running, it's been a few years since I was with TA/D. i love the picture of your fathers car with the donovan 417... is that an old "frankenstein magneto" i see..?
I'm interested in your statement about adding cutters on the floaters. I guess in my mind adding cutters would make it more aggressive, not slow it down for a looser track. Can you expound on that? In our TAD we have a 3 disc pedal clutch, we run a 3 or 6 cutter full width floater in the front and a 9 cutter half width floater in the back. I haven't learned exactly why yet but I'm interested in your thoughts about floaters.
Well towards the end he says that there is a concrete risk of the fuel choking the spark plug, and that can cause fuel to say in the cylinder reducing the space for air and therefore increasing pressure on the compression stroke so much that it can blow the head gasket and damage the blower....
With the fuel pump driven from the cam, it the cam belt driven from the crank? Do you worry about the belt breaking? Or are you running like a Pete Jackson gear drive? To give it a mechanical connection?
Shuts the engine down sooner because theres no fuel going through the supercharger. As the only lubricant to keep the teflon cool inside the blower the sooner you stop it from running the longer the teflon lasts. Thanks for the question
Absolutely love your videos! Could you do a video sometime on what a crew chief does at the starting line as far as adjusting various settings/air bleeds?
In a way it's kind of similar to a snowmobile primary clutch with weights and profiles. The drag car clutch is way more complicated and more tuneable. Cool stuff.
