I used the Lincoln fan too. It works VERY well even with the narrow radiator :cool: : Who's been wrenching? - Page 5 - TurboBuicks.com Bill

I did one of my 85-T wheels, then went GN steel wheels. My 'home' method was to first clean it very well, then wet sand each vane, the center and the rim flange starting with 400 to remove the clear and machine marks, then 800, then 1000. After that I used Mother's aluminum polish to make it...

You might be close to maxing-out 36 pounders running that much boost. Maybe someone with those injectors will chime in. I'm running 009's (42.5 pound) at 23-24 lbs of boost and the car runs great with the Turbo-tweak chip. My injector duty-cycle is ~83% at the top of 1st gear and ~81% at the...

Nice!! Did you have to fabricate that adaper flange in the inlet of the turbo? Bill

Yes, Methanol injection allows you to bump up the timing and increase boost, netting more HP. I've been going to the test-n-tunes at the local track to tweak the settings on the TT chip and play w/ boost, etc. My best run so far has been 13.2 @101 with NO knock at all. A few more t-n-t's...

Nice color combo and nice wheels. I like it!! Bill

fyrlt67; I have a similar combo to yours and ran mid 13s at the local track last week. Bill

I went with the Houston stainless dual 2 3/4" system w/3" Magnaflows. It has a nice deep tone at idle, you can still hear the spoolup when driving and has a nice throaty growl when you open it up. :biggrin: Also no 'drone' when crusing on the hyway. This system uses the OE exhaust hangers in...

Looks like I've to do some tuning; My 1/8 is 8.4@80 w/1.9 60' :( Bill

I'm in again.

OK, I'm in. Better late than never.... Bill

Brad, Maybe the Alchy needs to be cranked-up a bit. On my car when IAT is over 80 degrees F, I can get by with the knob set on 4-5, but when the IAT is around 45-50 degrees, (like today), I have to set the Alchy at about 6. I get a K.R. I don't adjust the Alchy up when the temps drop...

These are links to sites that have info on the fan, etc: Mark VIII fan CFM? - Corral Forums Mark VIII Fan - Corvette Forum Electric Fan Conversion, Lincoln Mark VIII Fan, Fan Controllers FORDMUSCLE webmagazine: Junkyard Electric Fan Catalog AEI Components Ron Francis Wiring...

Hi Brad, The fan is from a Lincoln Mark VIII; (93-96). It pulls ~2300 CFM on low and ~4500 CFM on high. The articles that I read describe this fan as the 'Ford 9" rear of the fan world'. Guys are using on all types of street rods, etc. It really does fit nice and neat, and it cools well...

I've got an 85 Hot Air T-Type with CF5 moonroof option. Spent 3 years (of weekends) restoring it. It was a basket case when I bought it. (Some people should NOT be allowed to own these cars). I made a few upgrade mods but kept it a hot-air car. Bill

Gary, FYI, I had to set my 1/2 fueling in the TT chip to 130 to quell the slight knock that I had when launching hard. Bill

Gary, My PowerLogger and Scan master both indicate 255 at WOT with my setup. Before the mods with the stock MAF it would be about 220, and I saw 238 a few times. I'm running a 3" Delco MAF with translator,(set to the default settings), custom 3 1/2 air intake pipe and cone filter, and the...
