My race car wasn't charging even though the red light would go out once I started the engine. Turns out that a ground from the alternator housing to the engine block was loose and causing a problem. ...

A 77 engine (crank) takes different main bearings which are unavailable. No reason not to go with a later engine up to '82 in the states.

Vaughan,
Congrats on getting the 924 upgraded. I'm curious as to whether an 11:1 engine will run good on 93 octane. 100 is now $16 a gallon here.
Good luck with the Runoffs push and it looks like H ...

If you want it permanent, do what Vaughan says.

If you are trying to get it going for the first time, re-splicing the cut wires is a way to do it. If all the wire jacket colors match, get some crimps and splices from your local auto parts store to ...

Possibly a full fuel tank with the fuel level higher than the level of the WUR. I've jacked up the nose of the car and left the rear on the ground to avoid the siphon effect while working on my fuel ...

Bought two IJ crank scrapers 5-6 years ago. Minor fitting adjustments necessary but worked good. Bought 3 more last year and installed two in engines (after fitting adjustments). With engine in the ...

Great shots and a Pro looking track.

I just came back to Watkins Glen to race again. It's been 37 years since my last race here. Today was miserable rain all day, I qualified 22nd out of 30 some cars but first in my class. No vision a ...

At the top of the tank there is a hose that vents fuel vapors to a charcoal canister elsewhere on the car. (Front left fenderwell???). Sometimes this hose breaks/leaks/wasn't reinstalled when tank wa ...

I've been running the Kings in my race engines for the past 6 years.
