I know there's lots of repeated angles in all these pics, but for anyone wanting to study the stuff will find lots of top shelf modern day HORSEPOWER making gadgets-------------

You offered to help!?!? With wiring or ..... DRIVING?

[jerry clayton]

and its a stick shift---none of that powerglide stuff
on the only pass he got to make over the week end , Steve went 6.16 at 245.49---waaayyyyyyyyy faster than we went with the front engine dragster and we held NHRA and unofficial world records----------

The systems can only be describe with multi angles of pictures. I'll be looking at these more just to spot what I missed the first time around. The turbo set ups are some kind of deal, electric and plumbing could be complicated to sort out. Thanks for these shots I really enjoy looking at the pro race hardware, never get tired of seeing this.


BTW that's a Ford I can respect.

Neat pictures though some of the wiring leaves a bit to be desired.

[jerry clayton]

Wiring on a car with systems like this one CANNOT be all put together in looms and wraps--you got to be able to chase down issues easily----there are so many facets of the construction and set up of race cars like this that just getting things mounted so you can service them and watching out for weight balance makes it more complicated than you would think---guess the reasons I liked top fuel back in the 60/70s???? simplicity---one wire to kill the mag, one fuel line to engine, one smaller idle bypass back to the tank!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jerry clayton]

First test question-----who noticed the numbers on the plug wires and the firing order written on top of the manifold???

OK, now in 50 words or less, thuroughly describe any thing you noticed there -------

Second----what do you think of the way the front ends of the 4 link are mounted?????

Third-------system for securing jack to lower frame rails???????

[jerry clayton]

Fourth----did you notice valve stem cap missing on the rear wheel????at 250 mph think centrifcul frce would open and let air out

Fifth------the third photo (of the wheel well area) is on a different car than the rest of the pictures---------a little bit of mischief surfaces in me when it rains at a race------------

Jerry, I noticed in pics #1 & #3(the different car) of the rear ends and pic #7 of the front strut there appears to be a pneumatic strut type device with an electrical lead mounted next to the rear shocks and the front strut. Is this a sensor for data acquisition?

BTW, I did notice the firing order written on the manifold and the different car in the 3rd pic due to the different caliper location, axle flange and rear shocks (with different sensor location).
