In this episode, I finished up the weiand 142 supercharger installation on the 1980 Chevrolet Corvette. I top it off with a Holley carburetor, which is boost referenced, and some sort of magical coil with extra lightning. Cut the exhaust off. Fresh AVgas, couple gauge things. Of course, a guy has to test on it a little bit before the competition the following day. Let’s just say the test run didn’t go as planned! Lead Foot City was kind enough to let me wrench in their fancy shop, which sure made the process a little easier on a guy.

  1. Great video Derek, as always. 3 years ago, and I found it last night!
    But do you think I can find part 3? As Derek would say " Nup. We'll just pretend that didn't happen".
    What IS IT with YOOTOOB when you can't find the NEXT EPISODE of something you are interested in?? In my summary on the right, I get THREE listings of episode ONE in one page?? What gives, didn't I watch it hard enough?
    Do they want me to go looking ALL OVER youtube, and so, watch 1000000's of ADS? Got bad news for you Youtube, I don't see ANY ads, thanks to my home brew ad blocker.

  2. CENTURY used to make the best battery charger units. Absolutely bullet proof. We had an old one “ancient”, it still works better than every medium priced unit ever. I’ve been through 4, of the cheaper units,, and the really old CENTURY still pumps amperage.
    So if the welder is built anything like the old century batter chargers,, this might be worth looking at. Thanks for showing that off.

  3. The accel coil was known to eat points. No matter what you do, only do much electric can make it to the sparkplugs
    You can spend it 4-5 times for "special" points, just not worth it.
    Good livk

  4. My dad never let us put a fiberglass car on a scissors lift, it was different on a single post lift. The cars were known to sag and you could smash the upper part of the door into the rear of the car, causing damage. So we had to use floor jacks.

  5. We used to run Royal Purple engine oil in our Nitromethane Harley dragbike engines, great stuff. Its the only oil that still looked like oil after a single quarter mile pass. Every other oil we tried would be a baby shit yellowish color after each pass due to fuel contamination which is hard to avoid with the amount of fuel needed to run on Nitromethane. Still had to change it after each pass but it seemed like we probably couldve gotten another pass out of it and been okay.
