Getting ready for Bonneville(rebuild)

[jl222]

 
  I'm also trying to decide on a water injection system how much water to inject, and were to mount the tank.
  Looks like about 1/2 gal min and 250 psi pump and a one gal tank and one of the simpler kits, or we might make our own
package up.

Got the engine and blower system out, now we need to do a complete tear down.  The clutch, flywheel, crank, cam....  You get the picture.  Should have it all back together before the second week of May.

John and Troy,
Any thoughts of trying to make Elmo in May?

Hi Rex... Yes, now that Elmo has been flooded were planning on running. Troy implied that the engine needed to be completely torn down but the only thing left in the engine is the crank and cam. The heads are at the head shop and the only reason we pulled the engine is to check the balance of the crank and flywheel assembly.

[Rex Schimmer]

John,
Are you planning to put your car on the dyno again? If so let me know as I would really like to watch!

Rex

[bvillercr]

Rex we will have it on the dyno before the May meet, we'll keep you posted.

Here's a couple pictures of our engine compartment getting cleared out.







Just a picture of our two motors, the A we are currently running on the right and our AA on the left.

If u use the AA engine, does it have to go to meetings?

John and Troy, you guys should think about going to coil packs and crank trigger ignition instead of the distributor. Your geeks can run it through the computer, that's a great system. We put that on the straight 8 Buick, it's rock solid, no movement at the balancer with the timing light.

Gary the distributor acts only as a source to deliver spark.  We do have a crank sensor and it runs off of our FAST unit.  A deception that you noticed.

[GH]

Troy, you still get a lot of slop in the delivery of the spark, plus using one coil instead of 8. You would like the coil packs.

[bvillercr]

Your right coil packs would be great, we used to run the electromotive ones when we ran dual plugs.  We have other goodies on our wish list before we worry about the ignition system.

[bvillercr]

First on our wish list is a Racepak system and then the water injection, then we will see after that.
