That's true. You've still got to put the power to the ground. But, I don't know of one winning race team that doesn't use them.

Bigger? I have a friend Mike who owns a machine shop and dyno. He tells me that most folks overcarb rather than undercarb. And, as David Vizard...
Tune up Step up to the Pertronix ignitor and coil. Then rebuild the carb.
Pertronix I second the comments about upgrading to the Pertronix unit. It will clean up the idle, performance, and economy better than anything I...
Float If it's running that rich it is likely the float level adjustment. Float may be waterlogged and holding the needle and seat open. It will...
Maybe Roller cams are OK. With flat tappet cams the surfaces of the cam and bottom of the lifter are machined to make the lifter rotate. If they...

How old is the coil?
Sounds like you didn't take the cam out yet. If that's the case, the lobe may be wiped. Take it out and compare it to the rest. I recommend when...

Forgot to say that direct port fuel injection solves the problem also. That's why the 4.0 in Jeeps performs so well.
Inline sixes have fuel distribution problems. The end cylinders don't get the same amount of fuel as the two in the center. Short of installing...
Yes, in and on if you want it to start. If you are just checking if the starter will turn over, no.
Starter load You can check the load on the starter with a guage that slips over the cable between the solenoid and the starter. That will tell...
I have two. 71 Comet GT, 302, C-4 74 Mav, originally 302, C-4, A/C, disc brakes; now gutted, roll bar drag car, 5.0.
Toploader In those days I lamented having the close-ratio. I'm sure the wide-ratio would have helped my acceleration. The car would do almost 60...
Huh? Do you know something that I don't know? I always assumed that Ford sold "stock" parts. It was exactly as Ford made it.
Tell me about it! Nope, the Army kept getting in my way. I still have the Nova, a CometGt and a Maverick drag car. Oh yeah, and a 88Notch 5.0....
