I would like to contact the party that purchased this Lola that was advertised on Race-Cars.com.
Thanks.

Need help identifying which VW these brackets were fitted on. They have a VW symbol stenciled on and part numbers 917A and 918A. They are now seen on vintage aircooled Super Vees.
Thanks

Great work Marc. I am still working on the history of the March 81A's, and would love to see some of your work from the 1981 FA season.
Thanks again,

THis is for all of you who are still laughling at me - the hole, of course, is in the head, not the block - and it is a cam cover, not a valve cover. I'm getting old.

Thanks for the reply. I have the proper vent from the valve cover to the catch tank. I did not want to plug the block hole if it would cause a problem.

What is the proper proceedure for dealing with the breather hole in the block that would be connected to the air breather on a road car, when utilizing the engine in a formula car?
Thanks.

I have a question regarding a 45DCOE9 carb. After removing the top cover, there is an open hole located between the starter jet port and the pump jet port. In its previous life, someone has stuck a...

Chris,
The gearbox is H8-2391. Lola says this box left the factory mounted in T326 HU71. The logbook that I got with the car states T324, but I am not convinced of that. Some online race results...

Thanks Bob.

I would like to contact Mark Felsen of Denver regarding a Lola T324 that he drove in 1975. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks to both replies. The marks were in fact on the flywheel. I had installed a pulley on another engine without looking on the flywheel. Thanks again.

I wish to contact Jerry Jolly of Denver to discuss the Lola T324 Super Vee that he drove in '75 and '76. Help would be appreciated.

Back in the day, where were the timing marks usually placed on a Type 4 engine? None that I have seen have a pulley installed for that purpose.
Thanks.

Charlie,
Notes from previous owner indicate that he replaced the bladders during the restoration, but I have not confirmed that.
Thanks.

Thank you for the response. Here is the reason that I have asked about that car: I have purchased a Lola Super Vee that is represented as a T324. It was restored by Ray Morgan in Colorado and...

Seeking info related to 1976 Lola T326 Super Vee HU71. Probably in the Colorado area originally.
Thanks.

The car is HU89. Papers that I got with the car indicate that it was originally campaigned by Eddie Miller.

I am not certain that I understand the question My car is a 1977 Lola T328. The engine is a VW Type 4 with 93MM cylinders ( 1800 cc's ). This was the last year of air cooled powered Super Vees. ...

Clyde,
That is exactly why I asked the question. I have the proper info for the Mk8/9 when run upside down as usual, but I had no accurate info on running the box rightside up as originally used on...

Thanks Scotty.

Thank you both for the assistance.

What is the proper oil capacity for a Mk8 gearbox used upright in an air cooled Super Vee?
Thanks.

Thanks Rick. That is one of the few 215mm clutches that I had not been able to i.d.

I am trying to identify the clutch disc for my Lola. Type 4 engine and Mk8 gearbos. Clutch is 215mm and the Hewland has a 7/8"-20 spline. I have been unable to locate a proper replacement for the...

I own an intake with carbs supposedly from a 1.6L WC VW super vee engine. Upon trial fitting to an engine I discovered that the intake has only 5 stud bolt holes for attachment to the cylinder head....

Thanks for the reply. I knew that my statement probably made no sense, but at the time I only had it running, not running well.

Henrik,
Thanks for your help - I now have the engine running. Next question: Are the fuel lines from the pump to the injectors connected in numerical order, or in firing order? The pump is marked...

Is there someone in this forum that would be willing to give me basic advice regarding the Kugelfischer mechanical injection as was used on Formula Super Vee water cooled engines.
The fuel pump is...

I need to correspond with Jim VanHorn, probably of San Francisco, who drove a March 81A during the 1981 season. Any assistance will be appreciated.

Chris,

You are correct -I would like to determine that this 1988 car is, or is not, my 1985 car. My car is RT5-581. Tub number is 85 22 69. Original fuel tank number was 47351 ( and may still be...

Thanks for the info. I contacted Mr. Conti about a year ago - He remembers picking up the car on Long Island, but nothing else.

Is it possible that someone would have any info on the RT5 that Paul Radisich drove for Conti racing during the 1988 season? Chassis number? History? It was black with the number "00" Thanks.
