62 Chevrolet, STILL No Traction

[Aubrey N Bruneau]

Oldtimer, that DID go to a list of links. None of them seem to address the what is desireable as a drag racing application.

Not bad there, Leif... but again, no practical diagrams indicating the desired geometry.

As mentioned earlier, Bob... aluminum flywheel ( 11 pound ), aluminum McLeod 10.5" "hat"
What do I mean ?
exactly THAT !
It's a 7000 RPM engine, that makes NO power below 3000, with horsepower peak at around 6700-6800.
With this 7000 RPM engine, I can release the clutch as low as 3500, and still blow the tires right off.
Two step ?
that's a dance, isn't it ? !
Need my "shoes" on the ground before I'll bother to try dancing !

oh... the centrifugal weight that I added.... 8 grams, on each of the 3 release fingers.

Here's a link to a VERY rough sketch that I did up, after I took a whole series of very acturate dimensions:

Bottom picture is exactly as the car is right now.
Upper picture is after my proposed lowering the rear 1 1/2 inches.
The 63" dimension, is a result of lowering the front loer control arm mount at the frame ( not permitted ).
