OK,
Honda has won alot of motorsport races. Name the drivers of their first world AND USA open wheel wins in pro/sanctioned auto racing. Name both drivers of those first big wins for HONDA. ?????
Just build it (and post pics when youre done)
Bgrigg-Tony Maxey owned it but drove it into the pacific and then bought by Brian Angliss of AC/autokraft
NYFAIM
You're correct, Maxey bought it after Bill Cosby returned it. No-one is sure if his death was a suicide or not.
So long folks!
Hint Ribero and Ginther CART and F1
So this is up to the next person that wish's to ask a question.
Have at it anyone?
I guess I will go for it.
This one should be easy.
How much horsepower did the Boss 302 have?
350HP
No lower than that. Its in the 200's but somewhere around 300.
jetmodeler No lower than that. Its in the 200's but somewhere around 300.
The original Boss 302 was rated at 290 HP.
The new Ford Racing 302 crate motor is available in a number of configurations and displacements with the 302 (4.9l) rated at 340 -345 HP.
You are right it was 290HP.
Sorry guys I probably should have said 1969-70. I forgot about the newer ones.
Well Bgrigg I guess it is your turn.
Okay, keeping with the 1969-70 Boss 302, who was its designer?
Larry Shinoda....I think....
Bob
You got it.
The floor is yours!
OK...easy one-who was the first American driver to win the F1 championship?
that would be Phil Hill
Camaroaddict that would be Phil Hill
You are correct-your turn now!
On a 1969 Camaro Z28, what did ordering option package JL8 get you???
Just a guess-4 wheel disc brakes?
4 Wheel Discs is the correct answer
OK, if I read the rules right, as stated in the first post, if no one says anything in five days the floor is up for grabs, so here I go:
Question: What should every driver of a 1980 and older Mopar car or truck keep in the glove compartment at all times?
Darrin
Setting new standards for painfully slow builds
just a guess gas?
The oldest Mopar I ever owned was a 1975 Dart, but I always carried an ignition resistor AND a voltage regulator.
I swear, if Mopar had made fridges, we would all be drinking warm beer!
Ignition (ballast) resistor is the correct answer!!!!!! Bgrigg gets the next question.
Sorry about the long time before answering we had some bad weather and the internet has been down 2 days.
Thanks! Yeah, Mopars were famous for blowing the ballast in the ignition resistor, as well as burning up the fuse wire in the voltage regulator. And I realized I mistyped my answer post. The NEWEST Mopar was the '75 Dart. The oldest I owned was a '67 Barracuda Fastback.
Okay, this might be harder for the US car crowd, but let's see what happens!
Many Citroen cars had CV after a number: 2CV, 9CV, 11CV etc. What does CV stand for and what does the number refer to?
Well, let me see if I've lost my mind....
The number stood for the French fiscal horsepower tax rating, i.e. 2, 9, 11, etc., and the "CV" werer the initials for "chevaux vapeur" meaning steam horses in french.
Am I close?
Close? You NAILED it! Floor is yours!
Bgrigg Close? You NAILED it! Floor is yours!
Cool! OK Still on Mopars, why did Chrysler "slant" the cylinders of the slant 6 engine 30 degrees?
There were several benefits to this design-it allowed a lower engine height (& thus a lower hoodline in passenger car-not a concern in a pickup truck), it allowed the water pump to be mounted offset instead of on the front of the block, which reduced the length of the engine with its accessories bolted up, & it allowed intake & exhaust manifold runners to be of near equal length for more efficiency & less restriction (as well as allowing aftermarket intakes & headers to produce more horsepower). As an added bonus, it allowed a lot of room under the hood for ease of maintenance, as opposed to a smogged out V-8 of the era. A downside to the slant 6-there is a right way and a wrong way to attach a lift hoist/sling when pulling one out of the engine bay. If done wrong, the engine wants to tip as soon as it clears the motor mounts. (Ask me how I know this...).
"no, honey, of course that's not another new model. I've had that one for a long time..."
a6m5zerosen is right on all counts!!!!
You may know these facts the same way I do, I grew up in a Chrysler family and worked at a dealership for 14 years. One more benefit was it allowed a ten minute starter R&R as well in most cases, as it could be removed under the hood on the driver's side. (Of course, back in them days, we didn't simply replace the starter we actually disassembled them for repair. Most cases new bushings and brushes, maybe a drive gear, and you were ready to go.
Anyways, the next question goes to a6m5zerosen.
Suppose you worked in a salvage yard and a customer called needing replacement T-tops (both a left & a right) for a 1978 through 1981 Camaro or Firebird with factory installed T-tops. What one specific piece of information would you absolutely need to know before you even started trying to find them for him?
YOu would need to know whether they are Hurst or Fischer T Tops...
because they are different sizes
