Left Leg
Why I drive Automatics.....left leg saved from amputation but knee is permanently locked and leg is now 2.5" shorter. I can still wiggle my toes though !!! I spent 5 months in this little contraption.

426 Hemi with OEM Chrome Cleaner
This was my first Big Block and still the only one. This photo is a great reminder why you should keep things that were hard to get your hands on. Regrets to this day! Won't make that mistake again in this lifetime!

FREEBIRD
Hnaging out on the anchor in the middle of nowhere can make you feel this way. Especially when the stars reach all the way down to the horizon. THIS is why sailing is my PASSION.

New iStart from Apple!
I decided to go with the new iStart from Apple. It does everything an iPhone does:
1. Play your favorite Cars tune
2. Call your wife and explain why giving rides to hot girls is a community service.
It uses satellite radio amplification to give it more cold cranking amps than the Microsoft ZuneStart.

500+ HP Engine Water Jacket Coolant Flow Requirements
This chart shows the linear relationship between the heat rejection (load) of the coolant and the required (calculated) coolant flow in the engine water jacket. It is determined for 3 different temp gradients of the engine inlet and outlet coolant temp. This engine example is from a 500+ horsepower supercharged gas engine assumed to have heat rejection up to maximum power (8,000 btu/min). Why do we care? If you cant keep engine temps under control at speed under load, you may have: 1) insufficient water flow, 2) undersized radiator, or 3) insufficient air flow through the radiator that needs to be addressed. This engine will require coolant flow in the lower part of the curve in street applications (low heat rejection), but for racing/track use this engine will require coolant flow rates towards the top of each curve. For older V8's pre-emissions, the common design target is to keep the radiator Inlet @ 190 F and outlet @ 180F or an average core temp of 185F at steady state conditions or the upper curve shown. Modern engines may use a little higher 195F-185F or rad core avg temp of 190F.

FIA_Suitcase_Study1
It’s documented that (2) AC factory cars were prepared with FIA suitcase "dimples" (See Photos). The second modification was to enlarge the trunk base to allow the suitcase to fit upright (vertical) and further down into the trunk as shown. If you look closely at the photo you can see the suitcase also fit horizontal and was held in place with a “bungee cord”. You can also see the bolts protruding out the bottom of the suitcase which originally held the suitcase upright. I think this also explains why some of the FIA cars had dimples while others didn’t.
As for the actual size of the suitcase – FIA Historic Racing Championships - Appendix J. Both 1964 and 1965.
State:
“270 - Luggage trunk
A covered space being an integral part of the coachwork but outside of the space occupied by the front seats, large enough to receive a trunk of
65 cm X 40 cm X 20 cm. minimum, besides the spare wheel, tools or the folded hood, shall be provided, excluding the spare wheel, tools or removed canopy.”

SVC cobra clutch bellcrank type arm
This arm is on my Shell Valley Cobra that comes out of the back of the firewall inboard of the brake master cylinder which is bolted to the firewall. So the left to right position of the pedals is actually reversed on the firewall due to some strange linkage inside the pedal box. Try8ng to find out if this is part of the reason why my clutch is essentially undrivable, and whether this is a standard Shell Valley thing or some kind of complex setup somebody did to avoid the headers.

Clutch MC and brake MC in reverse positions
This shows the clutch MC next to the steering shaft with the brake MC mounted behind it to the fender well, with the clutch MC activated by this odd bellcrank type arm that may be messing up the pedal ratio. Trying to sort out why my clutch is both super heavy pedal pressure AND has to go all the way to the floor to disengage. Anyone know if this is a standard shell valley setup? The other end is a hydraulic throw out bearing, looks like a Tilton.
