    Thanks guys, I have set the caster at 10.9, and camber at 0 and toe at 0. We will start there and see what we have.

    Thanks Bernie, kinda what I was thinking. Need it right if I’m going to run against Larson and Read.  The young guys will wear this old man out! :)

    Bernie, it’s a 1 1/4″ chassis. I had some ideas, I wrote down and had Ted Swaintec who built all of Pierre Haung’s (sp) chassis put it together. All straight tube, no bends, braced well! It IS stiff! Yea, crazy, maybe stupid, up front. Frt axle is tubes that can be slid in and out for front width. Double heim, on a slider block for caster, camber. Way too much adjustment. :) I ran it a few times a couple of years ago, car wasn’t bad at all, but I was trying some crazy engine stuff, and had a hard time finishing a race. :) But I had fun and learned a lot of what NOT to try! Now I think it’s time to pull it out and get serious. I was running 14 caster, and while I was as stable as good be, it would wear me out!! Putting it all back together with a “conventional” open motor. Tired of Stroud gigging me on the DNF’s. :) just looking for some good starting points. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Call John Ritchie, 618-920-1679. He makes pressure plates, floaters, and friction disk. Perfect- can even do custom thickness, if you want, for going to 2 disk, or thinner floaters etc.

    Start it once with the box, then the box will not start it again, box has lost all spark to plug, can leave the box connected and start it with an external all I want. It’s like  once the box starts it, the motor, stator, coil, whatever fries the box ignition circuit.

    Runs fine after it starts,  but it has blown two good boxes, both of these known good boxes started it once, and after once, they have no spark at all, so it can’t be just not turning fast enough, they have no plug spark, none, and that’s with a motorcycle battery that spins the starter 3 times faster than normal, something is  blowing the box to where it won’t let the coil/stator to produce a spark. What could it be?
