patrickt We can use different air in each tire. #80 pounds of helium in the L/R tire to off set driver weight. #40 pounds in the R/R tire of nitrogen to keep the tire temp down on the one wheel spinning from a leak posi unit. L/F tire get #42 pounds of thin Everest air, pure and thin. Will raise pressure after a couple of laps to match other side. R/F tire gets #20 of the super bad air from China, because they are going to own everything in 10 years. Will this work?Rick L.

Rick, regardless of what anyone says, you're one of my favorite personalities on this board. It wouldn't be the same without you.

Rick .... I go off for several days and come back to this .... Can`t leave you unsupervised , can we .??
See ya at Carlisle this year ??

[RICK LAKE]

Bobcat Thanks, I hope to make Carlisle this year. I might have to go in a sniper suit. I don't know how this happened with the bulleyes on my back from talking about being smart and safety issues on cars and ended with peanuts being thrown. Some people are lucky, I have little but don't leave myself, my car, or people racing at the track or street open for an accident from questionable decisions. I like buggs bunny and everybody pile on the rabbit,This train just went off the tracks. I want to thank the ERA family for not disowning me. Rick L.

I had a "hard starting hot" problem with my car, also. My MSD distributor was stuck at full advance. Car started great after I freed it up. I acted just like a bad starter. The excessive timing made the starter pull lots of AMPS on hot start-up.

If too much advance is the problem, I believe you can test for this by attempting to start the hot engine with the coil wire attached and then with the coil wire grounded (or ignition system shorted to ground properly). If the engine turns over much faster with coil wire grounded, then you likely have too much advance at engine crank RPM. The correction could be reduce the initial timing or check for stuck advance weights or vacuum advance modules (if installed).
