  1. We raced against a Lotus 7 this last weekend. Same motor, but 400 pounds lighter car. I don't know what he was running for a motor, but it could have been a Ford 1600 with dual Webers. Combine that and the weight savings, he was hard to beat.
  2. Floor it on a hot start and see if that gets it to fire.
  3. I don't think anyone has actually dyno'd a back to back exhaust system change on an L motor. So no real before and after results except that bigger is better. We all know that 😁
  4. I feel like 80% of owners wouldn't be able to accurately describe the color of smoke coming out of a tailpipe. My guess is that smoke came out of the tailpipe and naturally smoke is black, right? So that's why they said it was black smoke. White-ish smoke = coolant Blue smoke = oil Black smoke = fuel Not coming out of the tailpipe, smoke could be auto trans, wiring, oil dumping onto hot exhaust, etc. If it smoked out of the tailipipe and then died and would not restart, it probably overheated. Does it crank? Does it even attempt to fire? Does it fire but not want to stay running? Is there oil in the coolant? Is there coolant in the oil? Is there anything dripping out of the tailpipe? The list of questions goes on and on...
  5. Are you pumping the throttle pedal before you try a cold start?
  6. There are shops that make custom cables. If you google custom parking brake cables, you'll find the usual suspects that sell universal junk, but if you dig a little, you'll find shops that can make a cable exactly like what you need. ANd they don't cost a lot at all. $100 or less. There was a shop in NorCal that I've used before. I believe they were in Sonoma county somehwere. Maybe Santa Rosa or Petaluma? Nope, Chico. Here they are - https://push-pull.com/custom-cables-brakes/
  7. A philantropoist. Gazillionaire. His 250 Testarossa is at the events and you can get a ride around the track in it. Pretty cool riding in a 25 million dollar car.
  8. No new manifolds other than a cheap header, which is not great. Check that website I posted above. It's a database of the country's wrecking yards. You'll likely find one there.
  9. Hey everyone. Want to go racing this weekend? We are racing at this event, and there will be a ton of 510s too. A Z club gathering is also scheduled for the weekend. If you're in NorCal and want to see some cool vintage cars hauling ass around my favorite track, come join us! Admission for spectators is free. The concession booths will be open too. Info here - https://www.csrgracing.org/schedule.html
  10. Unless you are having the head ported and installing a bigger cam, dual Webers or Mikunis won't give you much except a cool sound.
  11. I'd rather run without a filter than have one too close to the carb.
