Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Still working on car to it get better. Fixing starter, changing transmission ratios, thanks Joel. Changing oil and filter in engine and trans. Suspension work. It's the little things!

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Got my new Classic Instruments low temperature gauges installed today for Transmission and Oil temperature. Range of 40* to 220*. After installation turned them on and all three gauges read the same temp 87*. Added water to engine temp dropped to 63* and started to head to ambient. Real good stuff from John McCleod and the team at Classic Instruments.
It's American Made!!! |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Hey Larry on your low temp gauges are they just electric or are you just tapping into the can-bus system on the fuel injection?

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
The Classic gauges are stand alone and supply the information to the internal data recorder. Small, compact, light and easy to install, its a real top shelf product.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
And Dumbo is the not so pretty Class winner at the Sports. A BIG tip of the hat to all of you that have helped during the past three years. I could not have done it without your help. Thank you !

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Me thinks that Dumbo after tasting the reality of competition is hard at work with his trainer, the master of performance Larry Hill.
Sush! I can hear them in the garage as I speak. Last edited by Frank Castros; 07-31-2020 at 04:02 PM. Reason: Because the original post made no sense. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Not sure input and output shafts very hard to turn, my guess planetarys.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
We pulled the plug on Dumbo for Indy. He is good but not ready for the big show.
