DeathsDoorStep is way past due for completion…The Coupe has sat for a couple of years now since I started it..The last time it was really running and drive-able was when I drove it on the HardShine T.V. show……..I tried to work on it a year or so ago…but struggled to find and or feel the [...]

Work continues on the 94 Drag Carbs….

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

I decided to start polishing my new Drag Carb’s, the outside that is..I figured the outside should look as nice as the insides…….It takes along time to get them to look good……I have only done two of the tops so far..which took longer than I thought it would…They still need more work, but figured I will [...]

Finished polished venturi’s..

I have allot of time invested in these…..It took me one hour just to do one each of the nozzle bars and one squirter…..I cannot wait to try these out !!….More airflow-means I should be able to introduce more fuel with the end result ending with more Power………Dave Littleman Lohr

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

This is the first stage to polishing the upper venturi’s, I flex-honed the lower venturi’s and made no attempt to polish them afterwards……..But will put forth all my time and effort into polishing the upper venturi area along w/ the short venturi thru bore……..I have some time in these, but it has been a fun [...]

Boring The Lower ”94” Tapered Venturi Bore…

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

Lower tapered venturi bored..

 At first I was over thinking on how to bore the lower tapered venturi….I had thoughts of doing this on the lathe…..But sometimes the answer and easiest way is staring right at you…….I set up the Bridgeport as you see above and was able to control the entire process and make all [...]

I dykemed the lower venturi bores…here you can see the large land on the venturi thru bore as a result of the initial bore enlargement…..I had to figure out how to machine this tapered bore of the lower venturi……..Littleman Dave

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

 I bored out a set of six center 94 carb bodies just recently……in this pic you can see the differance between the bored side and the untouched side….It takes some time to do each one. But the possible gain can make it all worth it !………….Some tell me I am wasting my time, others claim [...]

When was the last time you seen a Six-Two setup w/ nitrous

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

 
I have all the carb’s back on after finishing off most of my nitrous system…….I built in all the clearances needed for all the linkage that would sit above all the nitrous lines…I popped off the engine yesterday for the first time and spent most of  today syncing in the carb’s and doing all my linkage setup [...]
