My ex used to hate that. She wound up making me build a computer for the garage That was before we were able to get the laptop.

Good night Nevada.

 

Wow 4 days & the start of page 5. Jeff your doing a great job as CL. I run a carb on my 86 F250 4x4, 460. It is a 4160 Holley. I have thought about FI but the cost is too great for no more than I drive it 5000 miles/yr. I have also thought about a Q-Jet with an adapter. The Q-Jet would give my the power but also most likely better gas mileage. Has anyone ever run a Q-Jet on a 460? If so what if any difference was noticed, GOOD or BAD?

I really like Q-jets for the street! Tiny primaries and giant secondaries.

I think they are good for 750 cfm and they have vacuum secondaries.
Just a little harder to take apart and reassemble.

 

Good Morning NV.....


Coffee is on!

 

Coffee? I need some coffee. Good morning Nevada.

 

plenty still here...on third pot, almost ready for pot #4

 

Good morning Nevada!

Looks like a nice day.

 

morning Bruce.....

 

Good morning everyone. I'm headed to Reno on our weekly adventure. Bruce if you ever get into Reno on Tuesdays my buddy & I have lunch as a rule at the Peppermill buffet around noon, call me sometime if that works for you.

I do also. & yea 750 & 800 CFMs are available. I learned Q-Jets from going to a school that a Cadillac dealer sent me to in the 1970s. Then when I worked for Adams Custom Engines in Reno he taught me how to build them bullet proof. Everett Adams was one of the top fuel men in the Country. He was a Crew Chief at the Indy 500 for about 3 years. Boy did I learn a lot in that shop.
Now you really have me thinking maybe I should do it. One thing I know for a fact the 4175 Speadbore Holley gets about 4 less MPG than a Q-Jet on a 88 Dodge 5.9 that is a pre Magnum motor. This I learned the hard way. The Holley was faster but at a big cost in my opinion.

 

Good Morning/Afternoon Nevada. Warm here today. It's kind of sloppy with all the snow over the past few days.

 

Anyone know the price for a wiring harness in the wrecking yards near Fallon/Reno or the Vegas area? I need to find a dash harness out of a '96 to '98 mustang so that I can get started on my project. Once I get that all I need is sensors and dummy sensors.

I may know where one is in SLC but I don't know if the yard has the car still. Also, any good tuning places in Vegas? If I get this done before our G2G I am going to need to have the computer programed.

 

Hi everyone!

Hey Jeff, don't your local yards communicate with others across the State?

They used to run a radio network all day long. Is it all computers now?

 

What's a G2G? And I would be interested in a tuning place in Vegas as well.
