  1. I own an 85, and I know of one other out of that original group over here There was a race shop in Minnesota that built a few of them over the winter, in order to keep the staff busy. I hope to run into him at a race this year, and ask about them. Interestingly, there was a discussion recently on the WSCC forum about front control arms, and it was pointed out that the second model, the SE, was what started all the legal flap. So, maybe ours are pre-pre-lits? LOL
  2. fairly easy job I've also got an adapter I made years ago, by knocking the guts out of an old spark plug, and welding on a quick disconnect to match my air hoses
  3. I tow a friend's Formula Ford in a similar trailer. I load it as far back as possible. Then several hundred lbs of "stuff" goes in cabinet at the front, and a rack above the car, roughly at the trailer axles. Never weighed it, but my guess is 4000 +/-. Towed w/ Suburban 2500 When I load the 7, it goes a bit farther forward, with the rear straps crossed in an X pattern. We just use a fixed length loop thru each front a-arm, and ratchets at the back I'd say start with the nose a foot from the front of the trailer, and work from there. When he quits racing later this year, I'll be using my little open trailer for the 7, prob just put a hitch on the Accord over the years, I've found the Sub to be real picky about rear tires. Get a set with weak sidewalls, and it can dance in a crosswind
  4. Can you pull the dash, and go at it from that side? My Westy has the same number of rivets, and the silicone no way I'm ever going to take that apart but the dash comes right out
  5. You have it backwards....flow is OUT to the heater from the intake manifold and back in at the pump fitting Using the gasket with no hole will be fine for no heater Just put a plug in the manifold, and another in the pump If you ever want to put the heater back, you'll just need a new gasket. Gaskets are still out there with holes, you can find the Fel-Pros online, and there are others or just punch a hole Formula Fords all seal that hole to keep the manifold cooler, we used to cut a piece of pop can and glue it in there to cover it before the newer gaskets came
  6. Glad you found it, sounds like the KISS principle never made it to England
  7. just stuff the tank with fuel cell foam, and switch to a tube type fuel level sender?
  8. FWIW it will work on 4 cylinders, just double the 8 cyl reading
  9. retroford lists one if you're willing to play all the tariff games
  10. The only pix I found of a Duratec DS were belt drive... I hate to ask the obvious, but are you sure you have a dry sump system? Do you have a separate oil tank? Post a pic of your engine bay. The only case I know of a doubled "stock" pump is on air cooled VWs, they piggyback a second rotor on the front end. Hard to see enough room inside most engines to do that
  11. There was a post on Westfield site a while back large one is 3/4 BSP small is either 1/2 or 5/8 BSP got a hydraulic repair shop near you? Pegasus has Dowty seals
  12. Racetech has a 80mm unit I got mine from Burton, surely someone over here has them Mine is wired to the transmission, but I'm sure you can put a GPS sender on it
  13. How does stated value come in play (if at all) if you are not at fault? If you get hit, and totaled, does having SV policy require the other party to pay that value?
  14. That one is 14" long also comes in 18 + 22"
