Guys,
Here is a Base line setup sheet I found some years ago when I was getting started. I use it for a base line and then make adjustments to the track I am running and document those changes for...

Steve,
Send me your email and I will send you a picture of the distributor in the car so you an see the proper orientation of the distributor. It sounds like it is at least one tooth off.

Steve,
You should be running no more than 15 degrees. There are four marks. -10,0,10,20. Connect to the lower front plug and use the light as per normal.
Dale McCallum

I am not sure how much clearer I can be. Look at the post from Sept.11. The DYNO HP on a new is about 170 with the carb jetted properly.

Guys, I bought Alan's Formula Mazda in 2009 and I don't know how long it had been since the engine had been rebuilt. Probably a number of years. The engine seemed to run fine. Alan certainly won his...

Ii is easy to miss but go back to the FM parts Website and go to "cooling". Look at the bottom of the page and you will find a link for page 2,3,4 etc. Check on page 2 for the pipes you...

Matt,
Start with Air at 240 and fuel at 195. Then you will have to make any changes based on what you see in you exhaust gas temps. Look for +/- 1550 deg.
Dale

You will need the long stack. 17/34 19/32 21/29 23/28 25/26.
Dale

Look on the bottom right (as you are looking from the back) at the long shifting rod. There is a mounting piece (underneath and close to the axle) that stabilizes the rod. If that piece breaks so...

How did the car feel? Were you on track long enough to get a feel for the setup?
Dale McCallum

Yes, that is 4MM total toe out. Moses base set up is 6MM total toe out. I like to use 4 at Road America.
Remember that your 200 fuel jet is 3 sizes up from 185 an your 240 Air corrector is 2 down...

Try 185 fuel - 250 air for Card jets to start. Tune to Exhaust Gas Temp, Look for 1600 to 1650 EGT's
5 Deg. for front and rear wings.
start with 13 for tire pressures.
you should be running the...

Matt,
I checked with Alan and he said it is true that he does not usually get into 5th. He said if you do, it is only for a second. So, It is just what you think is best. If it were me, I would just...

Frank,
The marks, starting at the top, looking at the picture, are -10,0,10,20. The blue mark is about right for a general setting. For weekend racing, you want to set it at around 10 to 15 DEG....

Matt,
You will need the "Short Stack for Hallett. (17-34,19-32,21-29,23-28,24-27) A good place to start on the Carb jets would be 190 Fuel, 250 Air. If the weather is hot you might want to go up to...

Chris,
FYI, You could also remove the carb, box it up and send it to Moses. He will rebuild it for you and you will be good to go.
Dale

Chris,
If you are sure it is the carb. soak it in some carb cleaner to make sure all the passages are open. Check the floats and needle and seat. if you don't feel like you know enough to do that or...

Matt,
With the Runoffs at Mid-Ohio this year, we should have a good field at the Majors race. Everybody needs a little track time before the Runoffs. I believe it is on Moses's schedule and as of...

I am pretty sure you can rent a shop car from Texas Autosports (Moses) 817-382-4188.
That would probably be your only option.
Dale

Frank,
Moses makes a "bushing" for each side by pouring some Fiberglass resin with a little hardener into the nose cavity then drills a hole through it for the bolt. Use wax paper or something...

Frank,
Go to formulamazda.com. Select parts Store. Type in "head rest" in the search box and the parts will come up.

Tony,
Call Moses Smith at Texas Autosports . 817-512-4752. He can also tell you about what DB level to expect. 96DB may be cutting it close unless you run a baffle on the business end.

I just don't get it. I have never had a problem getting parts from Moses. I have been running FM for five years. I call Texas Autosports, tell them what I need and they ship it. He always has every...

Turn everything off including the main power switch. Remove the positive battery cable from the battery. Hook a test light or a voltmeter between the battery cable and the positive terminal. Turn on...

Call Moses Smith at Texas Autosport. He is the manufacturer.
There are plenty of good used ones available at very reasonable prices. Again, Moses is the man you want to talk to.

My son was racing Go-Karts and I was the mechanic. I can't tell you how much I hated working on a Go-Kart. Alan decided to run the Bondurant Championship series while he was at Arizona State and we...

We run Penzoil 10W30. I change the oil after every weekend just to be on the safe side. I sometimes run 5W30 if it is really cold. My son Alan McCallum has had one of the fastest cars for the last 4...

Is nobody but Carson going to do the Florida races this year?

I can't believe moaning about the price of the new Front suspension parts. People have been raising hell with Moses about the old ones breaking. So, he listened and got new stronger ones. He does not...

I posted the edited in Car Video from Alan's car last night on YouTube. Just Search For Alan McCallum and it will come up close to the top. Check it out.

Kevin,
Great to have you at the runoffs. I know that it did not go the way you wanted but it will get better. You did a great job. We had a few issues too. It is always hard with so mant cars and...
