  1. Dreaded high idle problem

    Yes, before modifying, found several maybe's but no definite answer. Finally disconnected the link and no more problems, didn't set any codes after removing link.

  2. Header exhaust leak

    good picture doesn't look like it centers on the flange, can you move the pipes individually?

  3. Fuel lines and connections.

    None that I know of, use good hoses, clamps and filter. I used factory hoses the last time.

  4. Fuel lines and connections.

    If I didn't know, I'd replace all the hoses inside the tank, and the filter also.

  7. Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    After seeing your posting a couple years ago I replaced with 50-55 bolts high strength, happy I did. I was replacing flywheel, roller bearing and lifter shaft with updated parts after reading another of your posts. I wasn't happy with the existing old style setup.

    I drag raced gassers from 61-mid 80's. Started with small block Chevy's and stayed with this until early 70's. That's when I built my last car, a 55chevy with a 427 big block with all the bells and whistles. Then built a truck with slide back bed to haul it. My sons wanted to play sports, they...

    What were you running, sand racer, mud buggy, sounds like something fun and exciting.

    Adding power will always show the weak link. Keep improving to find next weak link. I'm sure adding nitrous will show up several weak spots, but what a rush.

  13. Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    Where it separated is the weakest part of the gear, as long as key fits tight in keyways don't believe you could roll it out, although you could shear the key. We are just speculating.

  14. Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    Are your spring pressures so high, faulty gear, valve timing slip and valves hitting pistons, what have you concluded caused this. Could harmonics thru balance shaft cause this? Did you have a reason to go into engine or were you plain ol lucky.
