  1. From the album: Two Lane Blacktop

    Found some photos forgot I had NASCAR tour legal Modified 18 degree race engine that I built 3 years ago...This particular engine won 5 races at the stadium...also swept Monster energy drink 3 race series at now defunct Ace speedway 3 years ago......
  2. Use the green.. I use it in all my cars..Changed the red out years ago. Have rebuilt several late model engines with aluminum blocks and heads and the ones that had red antifreeze in them almost always have corrosion issues with head gaskets the engine block decks..Cooling passages and the cylinder heads, heater cores etc..Have seen blocks and heads corroded to the point where they couldn't be reused. Especially if is not flushed and replaced every couple years. Basically turns the aluminum into a white powder..the red creates an electrolysis similar to a galvanic reaction like when aluminum is bolted or rivited to galvanized steel without some sort of barrier between them. Over a period of time it just eats the aluminum...Just curious were you able to make out the photos or do I need to try something different??
  3. Just signed in with my laptop instead of my phone. Was hoping the photos would be clearer. Don't know what if anything.I can do to remedy that..Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Think Mrs. Two Lane might have a way to scan them onto her work computer and then post them directly with out having to take pictures with my phone. Will ask her. As far as throttle body conversion I have never done one so I honestly don't know that much about it. I have always gone the other way from throttle body to 4 bbl carb especially in a performance build. Although I do have a HOT street combination that works really really well with tuned port injection..Hoping these photos will answer some of your carb questions. If you can not see these photos well enough for them to be of any use please let me know will do something different....Mrs. Two Lane just got home she says that she can scan them but will be a couple of days..before she can do it..
  4. Hello Old Guy, Hope you can see these photos..and that they actually help you. The special tool that measures the float level is unneccessary..there is a measurement that it is supposed to be..Will have to find out what that is. Will get back to you on that..Sorry I Haven't gotten back to you earlier. Rained out races Sat. night. Race car is going to have to have rear clip put on it. Probably going to be a few weeks before track ready again..We are just doing for fun this year anyway wasn't going to run full schedule anyway..Still sucks though...One major thing between present day gas and what was used in the good old days. When you could buy real gas besides the lead is the ethanol. Gas here in NC uses 10% ethonal..Don't know about Cal Fuel blends..Do know that they're different out there. Anyway ethonal laced gas doesn't get as good mileage because ethanol doesn't have as much energy in it..A gallon of ethanol will not have as much energy as a gallon of gas therefore you can travel farther a gallon of gas than you can with gallon of ethanol..with gas blended with it. Will hurt gas mileage in the long run..Have a place here where can still buy nonethanol gas. Although more expensive..Can go almost 10 miles farther on a tank of it. Than Can with blended gas on my carburated motorcycle. They did use throttle body fuel injection on Pontiac but it was the corporate (chevy) engine. In the 1980s..
