Lateral-g Forums - 1969 Torino

Alan at Waterman is a good guy. Besides being super knowledgeable, he really cares.

We had a USAC Midget we took on trade ... just planned to resell it ... and ended up racing it. It had a fuel pump cable failure during Friday's practice at Stockton 99 Speedway. This car ran the "small/long" cable ... so our spare "big/medium length" cable wouldn't fit.

I called Alan late Friday. He made us a custom cable in 30 minutes & Alan got one of the Waterman employes to drive the cable from the Santa Rosa area to us Saturday morning.

Saved the weekend. :)

That looks like a sweet bit of gear, very race. So how does it drive from a power steering pump?

As long as your PS pump has the three hole pattern and a hex drive on the back of the shaft you just use an adapter plate.

I was going to run a KSE tandem pump which is a PS/Fuel combo with a phelonic heat barrier in between the two halve.

Researching that option I saw a lot of guys substituting the Waterman pump on the tandem set up. :headscratch:

Then I saw the divorced style cable pumps and got hooked on the idea. :D

Add to that the Waterman cable pumps were used by the top finishing NASCAR teams the last few years and I'm hopelessly hooked on the idea.:yes:

Warning!..... Off Topic because not much else is going on around here. (Dave told me to do it... said something about you pooping in his thread) lol

I been told that Matt and Rob both have a thing for the "HellaFlush" movement. Apparently they text back and forth pictures of cars with "HellaFlush" and discuss which ones they would choose.

Some more examples found at a car show in San Diego near Matt.

I can't believe I went auto crossing today. Hella flush + Green Flash brewery = perfection. I completely forgot about the show so I decided to spend my day picking up cones for miata drivers.
