Dug an old carburetor out of the shed today. A Predator. It'll fit on the Torquer manifold I'm going to use on the Whatever project 327, but probably not... it's rated to 900 cfm. Not really going to use it, just needed to get a couple of pictures of the thing. And I realized that it hasn't been used since the late 90s.
Just look at that barn door opening! As I recall, it idled okay on the 400 in Jim's hillclimb special, and throttle response was good. But it's strong suit was its ability to maintain a/f ratio climbing the mountain. Had 2 but when SCCA took over the Mt. Washington hillclimb the other one was relegated to the shelf. It was a methanol version. Unfortunately it wasn't pickled properly and residual methanol ate it. This one always had race gasoline, and was drained after each use.
It might still work...but I don't have any plans for it.

There, I got back around to cars. Always painted the 54s white. They could be fixed with rattle can paint. Appliance white. I'm told it's actually got a hint of blue to make it look whiter. When Dan and I went to his favorite automotive body work supply house in Ann Arbor, he said that fleet white would be the same. Too bad I didn't wait for Dan to spray it
and to explain

As we know, we can't cross over our own timelines. The universe will collapse sending it into a quantum singularity anomaly. Or maybe we're already in one...

Crap, we're stuck in an endless loop. Like Groundhogs Day, only worse.
Okay, I've had enough fun for today.

Actually I'm thinking TARDIS! An ubiquitous, eponymous, iconic machine that is not as old as a Mini. But it has to be the Master's TARDIS as the Dr. has an older model with a broken chameleon circuit.
But I can't figure out how to also get a flux capacitor involved, as I have a spare one in the laboratory. Then there's the big rotating disc behind the drivers seat to deal with...
Oh man, I've done it again! A mashup of time travel technology totally troublesome to take to the track.
And I did it again. I'll stop now...
