This is a picture of one of Bob Glidden's Clevelands from about 1979-80. Pro Stock cars were going mid 8's at that time. Note the fuel system in the picture. Check out the water pump drive too. Pretty trick stuff.




They made it work cos that`s all they had till "Bogus Junk" (BG)came along trying to up things a bit w/some success..............key word "some" success. If the blues were that bad azz how come pro stock doesn`t run em today............. Regulators yes pumps no way in hell they`s work. I ran the Aeromotive hot rod pump on my car and it fell on it`s face and some of you agreed watching my 9.98 video..........maybe a bad pump don`t know or care since now I`m solidly in the 9`s and wasn`t before.




Come on, don't you think the fuel demands of TODAY'S 500" motor (1200 HP?) are a wee bit different that those in the 80's??

I'm saying that if those "junk" blue parts supported 7.80's @ 170+ MPH, then many of you 9-10 second guys buy the "trick" stuff because other guys and the marketing firms tell you to.
