Great info. Thanks.

Enjoyed this. Looking forward to more content.

I tried this method but now my engine is struggling to start and sounds like the compression is fighting the starter. Can anyone point me in the rught direction? Been trying multiple methods. This seems like its the right way. But now my engine sounds like its whining when starting and struggling to start. Timing is set at 14 idle. 396 bbc with mutha thumpr cam. I worked on classic vws for 20 years. Now i trying chevy. And this as been eating me for 2 weeks now.

I haven’t been to Dragway 42 since the mid 60s. It sure looks a lot different and better than back then. I’ll have to check it out one of these days. Great video.

It happens so fast I can't tell, but my question is it set to pull timing from the transbrake button release or when the transbrake solenoid releases? if it's the button, wouldn't you have to figure in how much time is in your delay box plus if you're the faster car you would have to figure in the crosstalk time correct to get an accurate time frame to pull timing? Hopefully it's after the solenoid, Thanks!

The best part of drag way 42 is the pulling track

West to east

East to west ride now

Spent a lot of weekends there in the late 60s, early 70s. We ran a big block 57 Chevy. What great memories!!!!

The first shut off dangerous? If running quarter mile at 190

WOW!! Renovations? Holy smoke!! When I was younger, back in the late 60's early 70's, I used to go there almost every weekend! It's unrecognizable from my hay day! You are correct. The starting line was at the RT 42 end. It was 4 lanes for a long time. 14 seconds & slower was the north side & 13.99 & under was the south. I was there when Shirley Muldowny wrecked her Mustang F/C! Garlits' tow rig was an old black Dodge pickup towing the Swamp Rat in a trailer. Man, those were great days!! Awesome memories!! Thank you for the tour!!👍👍

Lots of history at that track. Very nice they redid the track years ago. Lot of people don’t realize that at one time it was a 4 lane drag strip. Pro on one side , amateur on the other based on ET.

Thanks for commenting! Please share our page. More to come.

Man your the greatest. thanks for this.

Nice place to watch a race.Been going here for 45 years since I live in Clev. area.

Thanks for posting.

Thank you for posting this succinct video on running the valves. It helps me greatly.

Thank you so much for posting this video. It's the only one I could find to help show me how to get my dune buggie Front tires off.

Thanks for posting this video!

If turning the box end wrench loosens or tightens lash, when locking it down in place, WHY are you not just holding the wrench perfectly still while tightening down the allen screw. That's the way I always did my big block Chevy. Wouldn't turning the wrench tighter as you tighten the lock screw close the gap a bit?

Havent driven mine in 4 yrs due to back pain cant lean over the fender but refuse to put puzzie hydraulic cam in. Maybe I need a st legal dragster such as yours.

Why would you adjust valves with the Girdles off? you're going to get "Deflection" when there re-installed & buckled down.

Insightful dialog. Thanks for posting.

Belts and window net every two years, "because the sunlight degrades the threads".

When try to set up a start retard, i lose all spark.. have 0rpm set at 28 then set 600rpm to 36 any thoughts?

Please like, follow and share!

I was trying to wrap my head around direction change. Now I got it fugured out.

Love these kind of vids keep them coming

Great video, it helped me out a lot

I have been racing there for the last 3 years. I attend the NHRA Division 2 points races and National Opens. I enjoy racing there. Always have fun.

Is it a solid roller ?

Hey setting up my grid and the main timing is at 35 degrees on my engine and I’m not quite sure what the max retard should be at a lot of people show there’s at 30 but I have a super comp car like yours and you have 16 could you inform me a little more on that?

Looks like your setting your COLD lash at the HOT lash spec, disregarding the increase in lash as the motor heats up to operating temp. Shouldn't you set your COLD lash a few thousands tighter than the Hot lash spec to accommodate the lash increase when the motor heats up???

Horrible conditions! 7.69 WAY out of it.

Im lucky my engine builder put a cold lash on my cam card and build sheet for me. .020 both intake and exhaust. Great vid!

I am getting ready to setup my Grid for the first time, this helped me tremendously. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

Raced there in 2001-2002..

Been doing this for many, many years. IMHO, it's the only proper way to adjust valves. The old fashioned 90* method will not work with all cams, especially aftermarket, aggressive racing cams....

I made the switch to alky a few years ago and won't look back. I run KillerRon's injection, it's been awesome. No more overheating issues, fuel costs less than half despite using more, and car is faster and more consistent. I will never run gas again in a drag car. I also run a primer plus system for warm up and end of day.

I use to race there....did pretty well

Thanks, I am cleaning up the stud threads and reinstalling new studs. I decided to put the OEM factory manifolds back onto my 5.4 L

When you first got to the racetrack with the motor and you adjusted it and everything was fine and you texted the next time and everything was fine what went wrong that it's loose like to you have a stud girdle in there that will hold it what what's wearing out that's bringing the lift the Gap needing to be adjustable

I didn't get that Cam card with my motor...it's a big block With a pretty radical Cam... Should I stay in the numbers that you are doing 🤔 I have no clue were too start.....

thanks for this. Well done. Easy to see on a dragster as well.

Nice video, Thank you! There is an easy way to get the back bearing out if you do not have access to a bearing puller. Put the pump on the stove with the burner on high until it is smoking hot. Using a thick leather glove turn the pump upside down and hit it straight down on a piece of wood. The bearing will fall out.

Sounds good

Comments are back on.

Setting this up currently.... but if it's locked at 42.... and pull 5... should be 37 ..... where does the 6 come from.?
