The difference in width between narrow and wide gears in a DG-B is the narrow are .695" for the narrow and .995" for the wide. It is my understanding that the gears are the same, but the pinion and...

I have a chance to buy a mag wheel that had a slight gouge on the outside of the rim. It's a 15" x 14" Indy car wheel, It has been welded and I don't plan on using it for other than show and a...

without my calipers, I measured a DG-B layshaft at a little under 1 3/8" at splines, and the bearing at the reverse gear is approx 1 7/16". An LG layshaft is approx 1 1/2@ splines and the bearing...

What is diameter of OD of splines, LG and DG-B look similar.

Mark, I did not mean to imply that you did not do Shadow tubs, I just saw Shane redoing one of the tubs for Jim Bartel's Shadows and believe he has done a few of the Shadow's that Jim B owns. I've...

I think they are Sterling wheels that were imported by a fellow in a Detroit suburb by the name of Greg Sorrentino. I think they were cast in Argentina, I had some 15" x 15" that were used on a...

Info is helpful and just what I needed Thanks Pete

Wondering about what is the best adhesive to use to bond aluminum floor pan to steel tube, will be riveted at the same time. And any prep to be done to steel or aluminum. I'd like it to be able to...

Does anyone know how to remove the rubber that is vulcanized around the fuel cell ring for fill or access? the cell maker indicated I'd have to supply my own rings from my old fuel cell which I have...

Probably on Race-Cars.com or even ebay would be the logical place to advertise that you have one or broker it through one of the restoration shops. There is a market albeit small one for Indy car...

It's not Mark Bahner, It's Shane at RM that has redone all the Shadow tubs. A very talented fabricaor. I know because I saw on of them being rebuilt.

Most Indy cars are the same way fewer drive pins in the front than the rear. Mainly due to the forces of driving the rear wheels. The drive pins may have been changed in the wheel at one time.

The Red Roof Inn car at Mid Ohio was why the stock block got banned. It worked so well. The other owners thought everyone would use those engines because of the greater torque out of the corners at...

There is a photo of the Lynx Super Vee VW air cooled engine without the sidepods in the Bob Riley book- "the Art of Race Car Design" . It is prior to the photo in the thread. He, Bob Riley ,...

Jerry Got Lucky- I had what he needed!!

The later car that was designed by Bob Riley and built for John Kalagian who raced it in the pro series is for sale in michigan. I do remember seeing the earlier one being built, I believe it used a...

If you need DG-B parts or need gears PM me, I got a lot.

Steve, if you want dog rings or other DG-B part (also fit Lola and March of that era internals) I've got a lot of DG-B spares from my DSR Indy car- dog rings like new. $50. PM me if you are...

I would get it magnafluxed to make sure it wasn't cracked (it's a spare-get it done with other pcs) and if it isn't tapered or too rounded it should work OK, remember how it's supposed to work. With...

GM had a 4.3 litre engine which was used in many small S/T trucks and 1/2 ton Chevy and GMC trucks. The early ones did not have a balance shaft and the later ones did. They were a same as a V8...

Just wondering if anyone has any idea what the #s stamped in the main body of the shocks signify. I've talked to quite a few older Indycar guys and no one seems to know what they mean. The ones I...

Thanks for all the info-- I have another Salisbury diff that is almost complete, just missing the end plate ( see hewland manual for DG300) if anyone has a spare, would buy or trade for other...

Thanks, My questions were answered and I know which way to go.

Wondering whether anyone has had experience with the two different types of differential. I have both and think for a non-racing (exhibition only) gearbox the Salisbury would be adequate. I'm not...

It's the Riley, 1974 English Leather special. Almost everybody who made their own Indy car during that time used some pcs that were easily available, which at that time were eagle pcs or offy's and...

Thanks Steve, I happened to be near Dayton(Beaver Creek) stopped in and talked to Dan and explained what I wanted to do and I think we'll be able to do something that will get it fixed. I didn't...

Thanks for the replies, but I do have a Gerhardt starter and am using that. My thought was that someone might have known someone in motorsport at Delco when they were providing starters and...

This might not be the right forum, but I'm trying to find someone who used to work at Delco and had some info on how the starters supplied to the Indy cars in the late eighties and early nineties...

Wondering if anyone has experience with no starter or alternator on Lithium batteries for total loss running. i,e; 20 to 30 minute runs without an alternator charge, but no starting cranking...

fronts were 10" by 15" and rears were 14" wide by 15" as were all Indy cars. Do you need pin spacing and dia?

Yes, if you can it would be a help to other people also, which is what the forum is for.

If the photo at the beginning of the thread is yours, it is a Gerhardt starter. As to the pickling, the normal is Gasoline with some Klotz upper cylinder oil, I believe 1 1/2 oz per the folks at...

3 Batteries hooked up in series for 36 volts for a Gerhardt starter, biggest batteries you can fit. The starter is a bomb bay door motor from WWII modified by Gerhardt. If you try doing all the...

Wondering if you got a part # for the filter and O-ring for the Cosworth fuel filter.

Yes, the tee at the plenum probably goes to waste-gate or over-boost controller, which prevents the turbo from overboosting the engine.

It is commonly referred to as a "brain". One line should go to the fuel injection pump, near the bottom in the middle, the other should go to a tee, one line goes to the fuel injection pump the...

Square cable is fuel on off. quarter turn is all it should go. one way is on other way is off . If you have that, it probably is a ignition system, since the DFX had a mechanical fuel injection...
