Hi Harry, Any chance that there is the same type of info and articles/videos from last years event? Where do people stay during the event? Is there a hotel near by?

Hi Harry,
Welcome to the group. Growing up, one of our family friends had a Taunus P3. Nice car as I remember.

Thank Pete for the quick reply. Sounds like it was a interesting time. Did you and your brother get any credit on the game for your help?

I wonder how much processing time it took after scanning the cars? Scanning a car is something I want to learn more about for one of my projects.

Cheers,
Bob

Hey Pete,
That is cool! How long did it take to scan the cars? Did they come to you or did you have to go to them? Did they use a portable scanner and laptop computer or was it a stationary set up? Love to know more.

Thanks,
Bob

ITs been a loooong time since I messed with generators. But as I remember, sometimes you have to polarize the generator to get it to work. Generators can be neg or pos ground depending on how they are polarize.

Hi Lance, It also has to do with efforts. Recirculating ball steering boxes usually had lower efforts VS rack & pinion which are limited by the size of the rack. Back in the day some recirculating ball steering boxes had 4 + turns lock to lock. I am surprise that the MK2 Cortina did take the rac...

So you have a distributor with a vacuum advance but the vacuum advance is not connected to a vacuum source. Do you know if the vacuum advance is supposed to be port vacuum (before the carb throttle) or straight manifold vacuum. Since you're running 22 degrees BTDC and it starts OK I would guess that...

enfoprefect may have something there, if the advance weights are stuck in the advanced position you would have to set the timing earlier and then there would't be any advance as the RPM increase. Use a timing light and see if the timing marks move as the RPM increase. if you have vacuum advance, unh...

Hi, I have never heard of a engine running 22 degrees BTDC. Are you sure that the pointer and pulley are correct ones? If something is off there with the pulley & pointer then you cam timing could be off also. As for the RPMs at 60 MPH thats more related to drive ratio, I would think? Have to ch...

Hi Lance Rack and pinion would have been simpler but most likely it would have been more expensive. Developing a new system can be quit costly, nothing off the shelf to borrow from or modified. Modifying an existing part cost less than a new part. The first program to use the new system/part pays th...
