Someone explained it to me a while back.  It has to do with the way the wheel distributes the load from the weight of the car.



very interesting!.. never thought of that

Hey man whats up from a fellow Long Islander ! Hows the Bid coming ?



heyyy hheyyy hheyyy!! :mullet:



....i still havent taken pictures in a while! ive been busy searching for a full-time position....aint easy when u just finished college :\  ....


but anyway, its coming along! ...  we put in a summit direct-fit radiator, installed a Derale tranny cooler w/ fan...  we put a new dual fan setup from a ford contour which fits nicely.. should pull around 3500 cfm which is great for cooling!..


we put in the gauges, finished off the shifter...still need to put the tach in there but thats nothing...  we're getting pretty close... 


we just gotta wire up the ignition, the relays to the tranny fans, fuel pump and radiator fans...and then hook up the switches directly to the fuel pump/tranny fan/radiator fans... 


its getting reaally close to finally firing it up :D

Cool deal man , I cant wait to see the finished product Maybee in person . I might end up on Long Island in may or june . I'll let you know . A dual fan set up works good , thats what I am running with a Be Cool Radiator . I run right around 195 degrees in the middle of the summer .
Lets get that wiring set up and fire her up !!:burnout:
