Hey, guys:

Can any of you engineer/mathmetician types out there educate me on how to
figure how many gallons-per-hour a certain psi-rated fuel pump flows?
Specifically, I'm wondering how many GPH a 2 to 3 psi fuel pump would flow.
Can anybody send me to school?

Thanks a million,

depends on the size of the plumbing and internal sizes of the pump.

Andy, for what little it may beB  worth, the stock Tiger SU pump is rated at
15 GPH and I believe it puts out about 3 psi.B  I have no idea how that is
calculated, just the number published in the Shop Manual.

Hi Andy,
The two measures are completely independent from a design standpoint, but
together they define how much power the pump requires.

Andy,
The PRESSURE RATING (PSI) on a pump is based on static pressure, and
that is the pressure the pump develops at zero flow. As soon as liquid
begins to flow, the pressure drops. The FLOW RATE (GPH) is the maximum
volume of fluid the pump can flow at a zero pressure drop. Since in the
real world all pumps see some level of resistance to flow, the actual
flow rate is lower than the rating. Some pumps come with a flow rate
curve which plots the flow rate as a function of back-pressure, Holley
rates their pumps at both zero and 5 psi.

There are many things that affect the true system flow rate including
tubing diameter, bends in the tubing, and filters. All these are
restrictions and slow the flow rate. In a carburetor-based system, the
pump feeds on a demand basis, when the carb floats open the needle
valve, fuel flows until the bowls are full. The float system is designed
to work at low pressures, 1 to 5 psi, so the pump needs to have a flow
rate that is capable of supplying enough fuel flow to keep the carb from
starving.

The SU that is OEM on the Tiger is barely adequate for the stock 260,
when you add horsepower the engine's demands can easily out-pace that
pump's ability to feed the system. I recommend looking at a high
performance pump that flows at least 80 GPH if you are running an engine
with over 200 hp. The Holley Red pump has worked well for me on a
variety of SBF applications including mild strokers. If you are running
track days and pushing over 300 hp then the next step beyond that pump
is recommended.

nice accurate explaination.  thanks.  be aware the holley red is LOUD and has
failed on me a couple of times (clogged with bits of it internally breaking
down - blew fuse - worked after cleaning).  I prefer Carter now.  quieter,
better mountings, more choice of pumps, smaller, more reliable, less pressure
drop at high flow.

also a pressure regulator helps.  you can have a 7psi pump and restrict the
carb input to 5-6 psi.

No idea about cheap.. but try top l;oader heaven.. they stock
gearsets. As for wanting to swap from C/R to wide ratio.. in theory
there will be mustang, cobra and other cars racing with top loaders
that would liek your gearset for competition work over their setups,..
maybe post to a historic racing forum offering a trade?

Paul,

I use American Collector's   http://www.americancollectors.com/

I have an agreed to value policy with them.  They were recommended by USAA,
since USAA does not insure classic/collector cars.  Never had to file a
claim with them, so I can't say how they handle claims.  IIRC, my insurance
with them runs about $140/yr.

Keep on Tigering!

As another option, I have Condon and Skelly, and although I have never had a
claim, ( knock on wood) they seem to be very good to work with. Stated value

Paul,

I went to Haggerty and found some good coverage, BUT they would not also 
insure the rest of my cars.  They were not "classics", so I had to 
support 2 other policies!

I have been using The Auto Club for a very long time, but the Tiger was 
insured (and priced) for "Stated Value".

AAA is a not *for* profit organization. But they have side benefits, are 
local and across the US.

You might want to investigate them for all your cars (multi-car 
discount) and good service.

For 3 cars it is not expensive, but what happens when the "stated value" 
car is totaled I can't say. No history of any claims (thankfully) , 
except my daughter totaled our 1971 Ford Sedan.

Ought to check them out as it may be the best deal around.

Make sure you know what you are getting!......."Stated Value" and "Agreed 
value" are NOT the same. One lets the insurer (the insurance company) 
re-appraise the value of the insured car at time of claim, while the other pays the 
insured (you) the pre-agreed on value of the car if it is totaled.

Bob, thanks for the warning, and you are exactly correct.

I got the "/*Agreed Value*/" coverage (although I may have to raise the 
value).

	I have been using a Pertronix ignition system for about 30 years
with no problems; stock 260 engine and distributor.
They list a unit just for the dual point distributor with or without vacuum
and it is fairly easy to install and set up.

Accel has or did have a similar part but I have no experience with that
part.

Always check that the advance weights and mechanism has freedom of movement.
You should probably check your advance curve before and after installing any
electronic ignition system just to be sure and check your initial timing.
Anytime you work on the ignition system and change anything, the initial
timing is bound to also change some.

Hi Bob,

First, for street use, I'd suggest a distributor with a vacuum advance.

Second, I'd suggest either putting the dual point on eBay or on the shelf. 
(They are bringing some nice $$.)

Most car part stores sell rebuilt distributors for less than $50. If you 
chose an early Ford Dura spark you'd have a much more accurate electronic 
trigger than you'd get with a Pertronix. However you'd still need a way to 
generate the spark (a feature which is already built into the Pertronix). 
This could be anything from a $10 GM HEI module through a MSD box. The 
former would perform at least as well as a Pertronix I and the latter will 
out perform the Pertronix III in every way. In my experience, both of these 
would be more reliable than the Pertronix setups.

If you chose a HEI/Dura spark and something broke on a road trip, any parts 
store could get you fixed up (which is part of the reason I use the Dura 
spark/HEI on our street Tigers). With the Pertronix you may need a motel 
room for a day or two.

Be aware that the Pertronix I is prone to burn up if you use a coil system 
with less than 1.5 ohms resistance. The Pertronix II uses a 0.625 Ohm coil 
and the Pertronix III uses a 0.032 Ohm coil. You can burn up the Pertronix 
unit if the coil has too little resistance. In a pinch, I've used a ballast 
resistor. BTW, Pertronix now seems to have fixed the quality problems they 
had a year ago with their coil suppliers. However I do not know if bad parts 
are still in inventories.

I'm heading out in a couple days for the races at Monterey & have a 
Pertronix in the SCF Tiger. We went through almost a season before we 
debugged our Pertronix problems. (One example: Installed new coil out of box 
& had intermittent high RPM misfire. Replaced with another identical new 
coil out of box and problem fixed. "Intermittent" coil returned to Pertronix 
where it tested good!) Right now we still keep our fingers crossed.  :-)

On the other hand, if you don't use your Tiger for trips or reliability 
isn't a major consideration, the Pertronix is not a bad choice.

I have brand new - still in the boxes - Pertronix II  and Ignitor II for 
about 10 years.   bought them about 5 years after the Pertronix I and 
Flame Thrower I as "spares" - just in case.

Well just you don't know - If you have spares, you'll never get to use them!

Not a bad word to tell about.  Works fine.  Although the new coil is 
"jazzed-up" a little with a chrome housing!

Wonder if I will ever need them, and no, they are not for sale! One

Message-ID: <3A1925878C0D424A8480E98D0EB0D3E5@BUCK>

All the Tigers survived the Pre Reunion weekend in good shape.

In the featured race on Sunday, John Morton started at the rear of the 35 
car grid (due to a broken rocker arm during the Saturday qualifying race) 
and drove the Sports Car Forum through the pack to an 8th place finish. Tom 
Sakai withdrew due to a pesky electrical problem. Gordon England finished 
25th in the Le Mans Coupe while Lorraine Gruys came in at 29th.

Favorite Terry Gough also had a mechanical problem which caused him to drop 
out while leading the race. Tommy Steuer won the race in a GT 350.

Morton showed flashes of speed several times during the weekend. He was 6th 
quickest in the Saturday practice session and 3rd quick during Sunday's 
warm-up. During Sunday's race, he and one Cobra were consistently the 
fastest (193 Kph) on the radar gun on the main straight when passing the 
Start/Finish line. Hopefully the rocker arm problem is solved and he'll be 
able to cut loose during next weekend's Monterey Reunion.

Tigers are scheduled to practice Thursday and Friday at 9:15 AM. They have a 
qualifying race on Saturday morning that will set the grid for their main 
race Saturday afternoon. The Tigers do not go on track on Sunday.

For those attending the races, the Tiger pits are in "F" aisle, spaces 12 
through 18.

hope to see you there,

I am going to build a 260 motor up for Bonneville for year after next. 
The 260 bore and stroke fits so close to the upper limit of

now to find some really high compression ratio pistons.... any thought

Message-ID: <BMEGJMCLNAKLFMBNDEIJCEIEDDAA.senns@wiband.ca>

Hello everyone,

It's been a while since my last contribution, but I still read everyone
else's faithfully. :-)

We are getting ready to install the windshield and soft-top on our Tiger.
When we got the car the windshield was in, and re-installation of it should
be straight forward, but the soft-top had been cut off and removed. Does
anyone have comprehensive instructions for installing the windshield and
soft-top?

Would we line up the windshield and door glass first and then work on
installing the top? We've been debating what to do for a few months now and
we're running out of hot days for stretching the top.

Any advice would be most helpful.

Thank you and have a wonderful day,

Sheldon Enns

fit a couple of times.  I will have pics posted on the CAT forum under
'parts for sale' shortly.  If you would like pics emailed to you, let me
know.  I know there were a couple of people looking for an aluminum rad
earlier in the year.  Thanks, Kirk.

Hi Sheldon:

Try . . .

http://www.tigersunited.com/techtips/JCrawleyRest/rt-JCrawleyRest19.asp


This was written some time ago but most of it is still applicable except the
part about the tension rods which were not available when I wrote the article.
If you have any questions please drop me an -e-. One addition . . . most tops
can be tightened a bit after they are installed by using a clothing steam gun
on the inside but wait quite a while before you try this as they do shrink a
bit by themselves and do not over shrink.

Hello John,

Thank you. Another lister suggested installing the hard top to line up the
windshield, so I think with these 2 pieces of information we should be able
to do a very good job.

Thank you again :),

That would be Pat King (patrick at lgsrc.com).  He buys and disassembles 
Alpines to provide spare parts.  The installation parts come from Series 
V Alpine donors.  Sunbeam Specialties sells the rebuild kits to repair 
the internals.  Pat sells the OEM Vents and related hardware.

Or AFr 165 heads for the Ford, with 1.90 intake and 1.60 exhaust with 58

Good Dr. 

I have a set of very ported aluminum Canfields with Ti valves, new
isky tool 
room roller spring, Ti retainers, one of the ports needs welding
(intake) due 
to weld that was not done right. Yours for a song if you want to
try to fix. 
These might be big for your small Cube motor, but RPM can fix
that. They have 
around 58cc chamber when last checked and made around 570hp
on a 331 with 12:1 
CR and a healthy roller (I may even have a spare roller
and some shaft rockers 
that you can get working with a few parts)

Buck, I now have a lead on a pair of AFR 165 heads tha I can bolt onto a 
260 block.  They are gently used from one of the list members and the 
price is great.  Basically bolt on and go.  As soon as I get the heads I 
will make castings of the combustion chamber and have a set of pop up 
pistons made by Ross. But, who is the welding source anyway? I 
occasionally need welding done on heads, etc.

I just had dinner with Tim and he loves his Tiger! 

The Shelby GT was a car he had to sell when he started the Magazine so it a 
great story for him to get one back.

Well, she's about 98% done.

I just got the exhaust system put in yesterday and drove here around a 
little bit.  No problems so far.  The solid lifter, 335HP 289 sounds wicked.

The original seats should be back from the upholstery shop next week as well 
as the tops of the door panels.  I have all the side trim and the 
convertible top cover, I just need to put it all on.  I also need to put the 
convertible top on.

Just cosmetics left, mechanical is complete.

Here are some pics of her in the driveway and some various pics of the 
restoration.

If anyone wishes to purchase this little beast, I'm open to serious offers. 
I have over 40K in parts and I would say easily more than 2000 hours of my 
own time.  I can send you specifics if you are interested.  I was originally 
going to race this car so everything has been done with extreme care and 
durability in mind.

Take care,
Bob

I was wondering if anyone had some tips on attaching the side moulding 
with those little plastic clips from Rick?  I am assuming an 1/8" hole 
but that seems a little small.  Do you put the clips on the body then 
slide the moulding on, or do you put the clips in the moulding and then 
tap the clips and moulding into place.

I used a caliper to measure the diameter of the clip right under the flat part.
I drilled holes that were a couple of thousandths bigger. I do not remember the size drill I used.
I install the clip and push the pin in.
moulding will snap onto the clips, no need for sliding.

On each end of the moulding, I used a modified screw to secure it tightly.

I took a 4-40 button head cap screw.  I filed two flats so that the head would slide down the moulding but not rotate.

Bob
	The clip goes on the body 1st then push the center post of the clip
in flush with the clip to set it to the body.  The center post in the clip
has to be out before you put the clip on the body.  I'm not sure what the
correct hole size should be but you should not have to force anything to
much.  If the hole needs to be a bit larger than what you have then make it
so.

The moulding will now snap over the clips, just line the moulding up with
all the clips and push the moulding over each clip.

	The original moulding clips had some clips with studs and nuts to
anchor the moulding so it would not slide.  These you would have to make
yourself since I don't believe they are available.

Hi Bob:

I inserted the clips and then slid the moulding on. The reason I did it this
way was that I put a drop of clear silicon in the hole before inserting the
clip and I needed to wipe the excess off the paint. This prevents rust from
starting at this spot and should be done any time you drill the painted body.

Subject: [Tigers] Cam change
Message-ID: <20110831153155.1VJUN.1576423.imail@eastrmwml34>

Hey, guys:

I apologize in advance if this has been discussed before, but I've got a question about changing the camshaft in my Tiger's engine.  Can the cam be changed with the engine in the car?  I realize that the front of the motor and the radiator, etc., would need to be removed, but is there generally enough room up inside the nose of the car to remove and refit a cam?  Has anyone tried/done this???

Thanks,
Andy Walker
