This is the ONE barrel!!

Not really anything to do with weight loss, but we fired up tonight the light weight Hemi in my boy's 68' Wanna bee and it sounded nasty.

Kudos to Dave Dudek in Michigan and Chuck and Pete at BEST machine.

Gonna put some timing into it later this week and decent fuel and take it out onto the streets. Track time this Summer for sure to get any kinks out of it.

There's are just a few lightweight tricks in this pup. More later.

DANG!!!!!! I went over the williamsberg around 5pm

Haze is being too stealth!

Never had my hands on one..........

I just picked up a light weight B-body. Metal roof and 1/4's. 1968 Plymouth Road Runner. It should have Double the HP to Wt as My Avenger.

Haze is in a dazed haze. LOL.
I'm sure he will sneak into the scene when he comes up for air.

Man, wish I could have been there for that. The sound in there must have been awesome. Can't wait to see that thing out in the light! Hope he brings it out to some of the meets this year.

Yep it looks likes a 1 barrel is the way to go now. Those 4 barrels are so 80's you have to get to modern times. LOL

Yes, he will get the car out to some meets both on the show and tell and run what ya brung circuits.
He has some training wheel sessions to go through first. He hasn't driven a stick in a while. As for me, I drive a stick every minute, everyday in my day dreams. LOL.

It has been a while since I have posted on here with my postal scale!
I have tried to keep up with all the posts on here though.
So recently I was on the Milidon site and was looking at their oil pump bodies for Mopar wedge engines. In the description it states that it weighs 3LBS less than a stock pump and uses less horsepower to run.
I decided to buy one and see?
My first picture is of a stock oil pump weighing in at 7LBS .9OZ!
The second picture is of the stock pump section weighing in at 4LBS 5.9OZ
The third picture is of the Milidon pump section weighing 2LBS 9.2OZ
The last picture is of the Milidon pump and stock cover at 5LBS 4.2OZ
So the only way you save the 3lbs in the description is to buy both the
pump and cover. They make a rear outlet and bottom outlet for external line systems. The Milidon rep told me that you could use either one without external lines and just plug it.
But the big thing is 1 LB 12.7 OZ off the nose of the car and less horsepower to drive the oil pump!
You can paint over the Milidon lettering and no one will notice it!

MJ.

I've looked into this a while back and seemed to not get a concrete answer as to: can this set up be used on a street/strip application and can the external outlets/inlets be plugged.
I know that the A-990 pumps were of aluminum back in the day, but I was afraid that it could last long in a street car with continual use.
I don't know as I have always used stock pumps with a slight frown because of their weight.
You might have enLIGHTened us all with this post.

I think I might still have one somewhere. I know I have a Predator on the shelf

I have one of those Milodon pumps waiting to go on. That is if I ever get my block back from the machine shop. I will be buying the aluminum cover also for a external signal line for my Milodon Roadrace pan. I'm also waiting on my Ishihara Johnson crank scraper.
A Predator carb, now that is 1980's. I haven't seen one of those in a long time.

The sound was astounding.
Nothing like a Hemi that sounds like business through flow through muffs.
It was surprisingly civil at idle and crisp but when all 8 ball barrels opened up, it was music.

I believe the internal cogs to that Milodon assembly are steel?
The trick I've applied to the assembly is titanium mounting bolts.

Do any of our friends on here have a Milidon 21215, 21205 or 21206 aluminum cover? I would be interested in the REAL weight? In checking around the shipping weight of the aluminum covers is 2.1 LBS. With the stock cover at 2 LBS 10.2 OZ that is only a loss of 8 or 9 ounces. That is still good but in changing both parts you don't get the 3 LBS that Milidon claims in their description!

I bet using an A-990 cover would meet the goal of 3lbs, but those pumps and or pump covers are rare and X$pen$ive.

I haven't opened the package yet but it does look like it's steal for the internal cogs. I will put a magnet to the assembly tomorrow as I'm packing for my race on Sunday.

the owners of the place I work for are heavy into auto cross, one of the cars we race is a ls3 powered 87 RX7 with a TKO 600 2.87 1st gear.
we run a Edelbrock Super Victor 4150 610ish lift Comp cam.
Two weeks ago we were at a track day at Pocono, we normally run a Chuck Nuytten 750, one of the guys who were out with us bought a GET'M Garage Carb that he had tested on a carbed Coyote engine at his place.
we had rain off and on, track wasn't the best so we didn't beat any of our PB's that day ,but the Getem, carb pulled up off the corner better than the CN carb, especially when you were at the bottom of 2nd gear.
Vince (our Fud guy) said earlier in the week in his testing he picked up an Avg 10Hp and 15Tq in all of his testing





As for real world weight loss , I should have some Dodge truck porn for you guys by mid May

Yes the cogs are steel and per the instructions you can get replacement gears. These will pump 19 GPM.

ric3xrt It sounds like your may be building a truck for SCCA CAM class.
