As Ronnie pointed out, the Portfields are very nice brakes. If you do any street driving, then get the R4S compounds. Nothing worse than cold brakes that do NOT stop the car (I went through the stop

The '63 vehicles were positive ground (i.e. the single carb'd 1500 engine). I think SOME '64 vehicles were still positive ground. They had a generators fitted to them. Later cars (i.e. some late '64

Mike, This is true, but over looks a simple matter of the "swirl" of the combustion chamber. You can get two cylinder heads side by side, with head "A" flowing much more then head "B". Yet the parad

The carb responds to differential in pressure. So in the "blow through" application the carb is sealed inside a pressurized box. Obviously the fuel pressure going into the box has to be about 3 psi

This is part of the paradox. Gasoline in a homogenous mixture, with no air turbulence, will burn at the rate of approximately 2 cm per second. If you think of a piston being 6 cm in diameter, and a

What I wanted to point out is that "CFM does NOT equal HP". This kept with just the amount of air flowing into the cylinder head. Increasing the port size will increase the CFM (cubic feet per minut

Good information, Thanks. The burn rate is the same, but the lower octane fuel is less resistant to pre ignition and denotation. Also the fuels will be blended differently for summer and winter form
