Re: Locking out timing on a street car

mines a small motor but i run 15 initial and 28 total.

Re: And another RHD Barracuda…

Re: And another RHD Barracuda…

Well i think you could cap it off as mentioned
not sure about the ball bearing
depends on if you want it to stick in position or not

but the piston will still move back or forth if one circuit has a problem

Re: And another RHD Barracuda…


Yes I’d already ruled out an Aussie one from a cost perspective. Just out of curiosity, what’s the third port for?

don't know much about purple cam, A bit "more spicy" hydraulic i think

this is a guess...... you will have 250 -350 BHP??? and a load of torque, but i don't think its going to warrant an expensive pump unless you really want one.

Re: Fuel line replacement
