MadMike's 'Casper' 76 bug

[buguy]

I imagine those calculators assume a perfect pass.

[madmike]

does it factor in the weight of the car? gonna be a big difference their ,,a 500 lbs car compared to a 2000 lbs

[John S.]

Most calculators are probably for front engine V8 cars. So there’s a curve.

[buguy]

Yes you just put in the weight and the time.
But wheelspin, slow shifts, etc.... Would surely affect it. Has to be in the ballpark though.

[madmike]

cheap high temp crap :lol:should of bought the ultra copper

[buguy]

I've had that happen with ultra copper too.

[madmike]

I dug up a copper gasket so with the sillycone and the gasket we'll see Thinking about just finding some copper sheets and make my own

[Clonebug]

These are the ones I use.....one on each head and I also use them on the J-tube flange.

I put a little copper seal on each side of the gasket and cinch them down.
If your flanges aren't flat then no amount of sealer is going to help. Sand them down with a flat file or better yet a belt sander to get them as flat as possible.

[madmike]

Yepper them's the ones,If ya look close I have it on the head side of that J tube, filed the stuff when I first got the header

[madmike]

I haven't been to 'one' car show this summer, I miss that take that back , the 'Bug Run" had one but I didn't enter,

Exactly, you also have to accept the fact that shims will generally be needed to get your deck height correct, but once that distance is figured out it's really no big deal.

I’m just stirring the pot.

I’m not engine size biased.
