Hey Grumps.
Thunderbird has been shit for a while now, and it's especially bad with Starlink. For example, to make a post, I have to compile it, save it as
a draft, exit the program, restart the program, and while it's polling
for new posts I have to send whatever's in the draft folder quickly
before it loses it's connection.
It will generally post okay if you're only making a one or two line
post, but anything more than that and it times out and you have to go through the initialisation process.
With every single post :)
Mines gone completely nuts. It refuses to download any headers at all. I
can send a post to the newsgroup and it still doesn't show yet it shows
in SeaMonkey. I've re-installed, done all the troubleshooting I can
think of but it will not download headers.
Looks like I'm sticking to SeaMonkey for a while.

-aI had the same problem but unsubscribing and resubscribing fixed it
which is always the first thing I do when Thunderbird shits itself. I
think I read that one of the latest updates caused this issue.

SeaMonkey is great for newsgroups but the browser is crap and unsafe
you can use SM for mail and-a ng's, or just ng's as I do, without having
to use the browser. except if you click a link in any text it will load
in the SM browser, which is annoying, so I have to copy the link and
paste into Firefox.

I use Apple Mail for serious email, TBird email for, well, here and elsewhere that's not so serious, and have never used Seamonkey mail.
Never really used the Seamonkey browser either. As for the bwrowser defaulting to Seamonkey rather than Firefox or other, you just need to
set the one you want to use as the default browser and tick the box on Seamonkey where it asks to be default browser. I have Firefox
installed here, I was testing something out, and it took over as
default browser. I think it asked first, IIRC, so I just set it back
to Safari when I'd finished tinkering but left Firefox installed.
To change your default web browser in Linux Mint, open the menu and
search for "Preferred Applications". In the menu that appears, click
on the Internet tab, locate the Web Browser, and select your desired
browser from the dropdown list

post, but anything more than that and it times out and you have to go
through the initialisation process.
With every single post :)

Hey Grumps.
Thunderbird has been shit for a while now, and it's especially bad
with Starlink. For example, to make a post, I have to compile it,
save it as a draft, exit the program, restart the program, and while
it's polling for new posts I have to send whatever's in the draft
folder quickly before it loses it's connection.

Mines gone completely nuts. It refuses to download any headers at
all. I can send a post to the newsgroup and it still doesn't show yet
it shows in SeaMonkey. I've re-installed, done all the
troubleshooting I can think of but it will not download headers.
Looks like I'm sticking to SeaMonkey for a while.
I've never used it before. I might give it a look.
SeaMonkey is great for newsgroups but the browser is crap and unsafe

That could be a lot of wasted time and effort, not to mention money.
Text based editing can do some things in a few text inputs that you need
a black belt in Ps to do in that app. I've done thousands of photo restorations/enhancements in Ps, but now you can use something simple
like Google Gemini where u just upload the pix then type something like, "upscale. enhance. sharpen. colourise", hit Enter and job done. And it's developing sooo fast. I don't think I'll be renewing my next Adobe subscription unless they improve by several hundred percent.

it was stepping fast. Hard to forget. I had it connected to an Ampro Littlboard;
-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a https://saundby.com/electronics/AmproLB/
Brilliant little beasts for the era, bolted to the back of a 5.25
Floppy drive or 5.25" HDD. Built a custom case, a custom linear power
supply and it looked factory built. Initially I had 4 slimline floppy drives. Then I replaced 2 floppies with the full height 5.25" Voice
Coil HDD with a SCSI to ST506 adaptor. A SCSI HDD would have been nice
but they were so damn expensive back then.
The point of the above - it sticks in my mind just like your 25 MB HDD sticks in yours.

Yes it is nice but kinda hard to find and haven't had it in a long
while. It's also brewed in England now that it is owned by Heineken so
read the label if you want the Irish stuff.
Our local bottleshop stocks Guinness brewed in Australia but also gets
in the imported Guinness from Dublin. I prefer the Dublin brew though
you can't beat a pint from the tap.
I'll have to ask our local bottle-o if they can get in Murphy's brewed
in Ireland.
The Irish guys that I worked with in Sydney refused to drink either
outside Ireland, they reckoned that stout doesn't travel well.

I'll happily invite people to my place Felix, and have done on a

them if you'd bother to stop and knock on my door instead of driving

John McKenzie on a number of occasions. Another guy who's name I've forgotten as it was many years ago now who wanted me to weld something

Don't drink alcohol so no real interest in that. I stayed in his

and saw his vehicles and the quality work he was undertaking.--
By Gibson I'm assuming you mean guitars? My only interest in music is
in mixing which I have done for 40 years. If he had an Allen & Heath,
DiGiCo or SSL there I would definitely have been interested but
guitars are two a penny as are guitarists who in most cases have ego's

I think Apple building both hardware and software is a plus for
the user.
Moving stuff from an iPad or iPhone to other platforms was an
issue a
decade ago. Apple modified iOS back then and made data transfer
relatively
easy. Not that I need to move much across platforms these days
since our
primary devices are all Apple.
I've often thought of getting a tablet for convenience, but
wouldn't get an iPad for cost and compatibility reasons

dear me. he couldn't even give you a bed in the house
Comprehensive comprehension failure. I was only there for a couple of
hours each time at the most. Why would I need a bed?
and saw his vehicles and the quality work he was undertaking.
By Gibson I'm assuming you mean guitars? My only interest in music
is in mixing which I have done for 40 years. If he had an Allen &
Heath, DiGiCo or SSL there I would definitely have been interested
but guitars are two a penny as are guitarists who in most cases have

I've meet at least 3 of the current group and a few that are no longer

Apart from you and Grumps, Paul Saccani came here a couple of times.
John McKenzie on a number of occasions. Another guy who's name I've forgotten as it was many years ago now who wanted me to weld something
for him, and there was a young girl named "Dansi" if I recall who I gave
a car alarm to.
I've been to a couple of people's places as well.

Felix is just an idiot who can't remember taking a shit this morning :)
I offered him the chance to come here and meet up, but he squibbed. Similarly, if the clogwog decided he wanted to call in he'd be welcome.
Then I could call him a cunt to his face.
There is only one person who I wouldn't want here, and they know who
they are :)

Felix seems to have a massive masochist bent, which is evident by his continual coming back for more

he goes out of his way to start arguments which *always* seem to go

IIrc, he fell out with two of his visitors after their visit, Paul S

hours when meeting people, even be charming and welcoming - but that's
not who he really is.
IIrc, he fell out with two of his visitors after their visit, Paul S and John_H(?), which would support that opinion.

Felix, we all know that you wouldn't know "truth" if someone stepped in
a pile of it and then kicked your teeth in with it all over their boot. You're the mental case's sock puppet. All you know is bullshit by proxy.
we see how he behaves when someone disagrees with him or challenges
him. all the nasty stuff he's called me or said about me would fill a

Called anyone a Pedophile this week, have you pal? :)

You're partially right Felix. I have a long history of not suffering

NoddyrCOs tale of the NA 600 HP SBC with the Ford 4V head and the Holley Dominator 1150 carb was a perfect example of him not knowing what he didnrCOt know. I *detailed* the limitations of an SBC 350, with or without a Ford 4V head, showed all the relevant *basic* maths, and made the point that his
tale was an impossibility.
Bottom line - a naturally aspirated 350 SBC cannot gainfully use an 1150
CFM carburetor.

you, you drove around them laughing. That's the kind of thing only a

While he's down, it's an opportune moment to stick the boot in. Given
that engine dynos have been in discussion, this is appropriate.
Everybody remember when he said this?
NoddyrCOs tale of the NA 600 HP SBC with the Ford 4V head and the Holley
Dominator 1150 carb was a perfect example of him not knowing what he
didnrCOt
know. I *detailed* the limitations of an SBC 350, with or without a
Ford 4V
head, showed all the relevant *basic* maths, and made the point that his
tale was an impossibility.
This was his response when I mentioned the engine that I ended up
selling to Gene Cook, and his claim that a small block Chev engine
couldn't use a carb the size of a Holley Dominator because it was a practical impossibility. He mentioned it a number of times, with
comments of:
Bottom line - a naturally aspirated 350 SBC cannot gainfully use an 1150
CFM carburetor.
As I said. Since we're talking about engine dynos, then perhaps he could cast his keen eye over this and tell us all what he sees:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/axrWnIky6Gs
Just to help him out a little bit, this is a small block Chev running
*two* 1150cfm Dominator carbs on an open plenum high rise manifold, and
as can be seen the vacuum signal at the venturi at full noise is *so*
strong that it is sucking fuel out of the throttle pump jets as well as
the boosters :)
So here's an opportunity for him to use his advanced technical prowess.
We all know how he always jumps at the chance to waffle on at length
about anything technical, so this is right up his alley. Perhaps he
could explain how an engine like this with 2300cfm of carburetor volume, which according to his previous comments is *so* over carbureted that it shouldn't even start, would not only be able to run, but run so hard
that it pulls fuel out of areas it's not supposed to?
He can take all the time he needs :)

ROTFL ;) Yeah, right :)
This week I did a major service on a Mazda BT 50 and this morning we
fitted a 2" lift kit to a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee plus in between we
finished getting a Westfield Clubman roadworthy which it passed
yesterday and its only Wednesday, day off tomorrow because we are
doing a car club coffee run.
Over to you Xeno:-)
Yeah, let's hear all about it. When you're done I'll put up some pics
of the work I'm doing in modifying a Mazda F8 engine to run a Weber
32/36 Carb and fabricating an air cleaner hat for it that ties in with
the factory intake ducting.
help you:-)

Maybe you should watch this video. Might give you some idea of what we
did at the college. Might also show you that we had industry
partnerships - they mention one where Motul is contracting to use one of
the dynos for engine oil testing. How about that? The industry
collaboration continues. You were only a peripheral spectator to the
goings on in a TAFE college - and that was only when you did that hobby vehicle restoration course at the Gwynne Street Campus, a course they
still run now. You never ever sat your arse in any college as an
apprentice, ever. That makes *you* the clear cut case of relevance deprivation. Oh, you would have loved to have been an apprentice, but
you didn't make the cut, did you Darren? You couldn't meet the entry
level for apprenticeships those days - year 9 passes. It was a
relatively low bar but way beyond your abilities. Given that AME apprenticeship you claimed to have done had a *year 10* entry level
(proven by Daryl), you weren't ever in the race to become an aircraft mechanic. Given what you did to Les' engine, I daresay your exclusion
from the aviation industry can be seen as a very good thing. And don't
try to claim you were ever an aviation apprentice Darren, you know
nothing about what it's like to be an apprentice in any trade.

So?
He even mentioned being at Darren's place *in here* before then. I
still remember the fracas he had with Darren that caused the fallout
and his apparent realisation that he was dealing with an idiot in
Darren.
I was there too, but Paul said that to me after he left here.
Things are definitely not going well for the mental case at the
moment, are they? :)
While he's down, it's an opportune moment to stick the boot in. Given
that engine dynos have been in discussion, this is appropriate.
Everybody remember when he said this?
NoddyrCOs tale of the NA 600 HP SBC with the Ford 4V head and the Holley >>> Dominator 1150 carb was a perfect example of him not knowing what he
didnrCOt
know. I *detailed* the limitations of an SBC 350, with or without a
Ford 4V
head, showed all the relevant *basic* maths, and made the point that his >>> tale was an impossibility.
This was his response when I mentioned the engine that I ended up
selling to Gene Cook, and his claim that a small block Chev engine
couldn't use a carb the size of a Holley Dominator because it was a
practical impossibility. He mentioned it a number of times, with
comments of:
Bottom line - a naturally aspirated 350 SBC cannot gainfully use an 1150 >>> CFM carburetor.
As I said. Since we're talking about engine dynos, then perhaps he
could cast his keen eye over this and tell us all what he sees:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/axrWnIky6Gs
Just to help him out a little bit, this is a small block Chev running
*two* 1150cfm Dominator carbs on an open plenum high rise manifold,
and as can be seen the vacuum signal at the venturi at full noise is
*so* strong that it is sucking fuel out of the throttle pump jets as
well as the boosters :)
So here's an opportunity for him to use his advanced technical

Perhaps he could explain how an engine like this with 2300cfm of

Getting your hands dirty doesn't magically make the law of physics not

You *still* insist that such a carb setup doesn't work, yet you watched

Couple of thinge here Deryl.
1. There is zero proof that Fraudster has any "practical experience"
Yep plus there is mega amounts of evidence that Noddy is very
experienced in things automotive but I could dump 100 tonnes of
evidence right before his eyes and he'd still want to argue.
Thus spake another killfile hero.

I don't own an Ipad and am highly unlikely to ever want to, so this "fascination" with them is yet another figment of his fucked up

What was said, on very many occasions, was the the 350 CI engine was not physically capable of flowing 2300 CFM. To get the engine to flow *air*
at that rate you would need to be running the engine a a physically impossible RPM rate.

Getting your hands dirty doesn't magically make the law of

You *still* insist that such a carb setup doesn't work, yet you

This goes beyond simple "stupid". You have something wrong with
you :)
The theory is that a 350 CI engine at a specific RPM can only flow air
at a certain rate. The practice is that this is what happens in the
real world but VE is usually *less than 100%*. With induction and
exhaust tuning this can be bumped up to a practical VE of 110% max.
The way a multiple carb/venturi setup of a supposed 2300 CFM gets
around the theory is that each individual venturi works a smaller
percentage of the 720 degree Otto cycle until it gets down to the
*practical minimum* in the vicinity of 25%. In effect, each venturi
acts as a single carburettor on a single cylinder engine. After all,
the engine is nothing but an air pump, a compressor if you will. It
will flow a CFM commensurate with its piston size, piston stroke and
RPM. The laws of physics prevent anything else from happening. You
want to increase the CFM, as noted above, you need to look at
induction and exhaust tuning and, even then, you might achieve a VE of
110% at best. Want more? Then you need to be looking at a supercharger
or a turbocharger. Even then those nasty variables intrude - such as
your compressed air heating up and detracting from performance and CFM
thus necessitating an intercooler.
Did you ever think that a carby capable of a greater flow might be less lossy than one flat out supplying mixture at max flow rate.
Might want to mention that to engineers. They start with theory.They start with theory then modify the result to work in real world.
Then they go off and design your cars.
Been there done that, different products same system. If theory
worked in the real world, why do they spend time and money testing
prototypes?
Because there are variables that change according to different or
changing environments. A classic example was English cars. Up until
the 60s English cars were designed around ye olde English roads. Then
some wag invented the *motorway* where average speeds were some
10-20mph higher. That was sufficient to put the English cars of the
40s and 50s into high speed stress for which they were not designed.
The most classic symptom of all this was the hammering out of big end
bearing # 3 on the 4 cylinder engines (it was always # 3) common among
English cars of the 50s. The engineers went back to the drawing board,
found the copper lead engine bearings weren't up to the task in high
speed continuous motoring, substituted hybrid matrix aluminium-tin
shells in the 60s. Those bearings were a development by GM in the 60s
for vehicles on US roads and the technology worked on the UK vehicles
as well when used on motorways. In the 90s, aluminium-silicon bearings
were developed, probably for similar reasons - cars operating at ever
increasing speeds.
When the Japanese developed the early Datsuns, they used the B series
engines but they made many subtle improvements hence they never had

bearings substituting the aluminium-tin bearings from the outset.
Another classic example was when Germany tried to sell railway
locomotives to the US. German locomotives were marvels of mechanical
engineering but were designed around complex mechanical features
meticulous maintenance schedules. In the US, locomotives were designed
and operated around sparse maintenance scheduling and long haul
running with mountainous terrain. The German locos couldn't survive
this environment though they were trouble free in Europe when they
actually did receive all their scheduled maintenance and were operated
in their *design environment*.

Look at Formula 1, during the northern hemisphere winter, the
engineers design the next seasons cars. They design the chassis using
CFD, and wind tunnels, tune the engines with the best test gear
available, then they test them on the track and inevitably modify the
design to meet real world conditions.
To meet variables unaccounted for. For instance, engines need to be
locally tuned for altitude, humidity, barometric pressure, etc. and
that can change on a *daily* basis. These days, with fuel injection
and electronic control, a lot of these variables can be sensed and
accounted for *on the fly*. But not all.
for testing. You see them there with sensor grids attached, and/or
covered in flow sensing paint, the next time you see them, at the first race, there are always changes, big or small because despite hours of expensive computer and wind tunnel time, theory did not work out in
practice to a greater or lesser extent.
Just ask the Aston Martin team, they have the world's best designer, but--
the car is still a dog.

I will try once more but, seriously, in all my time I never
encountered a student as thick as you. What have I said Darren? I
have repeatedly stated that your engine simply cannot flow the amount
of air of which that carb setup is capable. As such, there must be
compromises in that each venturi operates as if it were a single
throat carb on a single cylinder engine, ie. it flows only some 25%
of the engine cycle. To that end, you divide the carb capacity by 4
so 2300CFM/4 = 580. So, 580CFM is in the ballpark for a 350 CI engine
running at 6000 RPM.
That explains why the fuel is being pulled out of the acceleration
nozzles. That's because the air is flowing through the venturi in a
series of strong sinusoidal *pulses* with dead flow spaces between
each pulse.
Sinusoidal? I don't think so. The pistons have sinusoidal movement,
they complete 2 sine wave cycles per firing. The induction stroke is
therefor one half of a sine wave. In theory the flow will rise
sinusoidally, then cut off sharply when the inlet valve closes. In
fact this will be somewhat blurred because air has inertia.
Don't you just *love* it when this mental case tries his best to bluff
his way through stuff like this with technical explanations like we see here, only for it to blow up in his face because he doesn't
**understand* them? It's an absolute classic :)
You are quite correct. Pistons have sinusoidal movement, and in normally aspirated performance applications they create an effect called
"standoff", or "reversion" in engines with either big overlap period camshafts or very aggressive inlet lobe closing angles. In short, the
high speed air rushing in suddenly finds itself cut off as you say, and
the inertia in the rapidly moving air causes a "bounce back" as it hits
the back of the closed inlet valve that sees it travel back up the
intake and out through the carburetor or injector. Usually taking fuel
spray with it.
You can see an excellent example of the phenomena it in practice on this Arden head equipped Mini engine with a custom Lucas mechanical fuel
injector setup:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHjf9zhQIRk
Great sounding brick :)
As you can see in the video, at small part throttle openings there isn't enough airflow to create any inertia in the intake charge. However once
he buries his foot and pulls the thing wide open the airflow rate rises dramatically the fuel mist you can see in the air is the fuel being
blown out of the trumpet as the intake pulse reverses when the inlet
valve on each cylinder slams shut.
It's an excellent view on a very common problem that has dogged engine tuners for years, however that has *nothing* whatsoever to do with
what's happening in the video I posted earlier.
Once again, here it is here:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/axrWnIky6Gs
In this video you see fuel pushed out of the pump jets as the throttle
is opened and the accelerator pump pressurises the pump well as it's supposed to, but then they go "dry" for a few seconds as the pump
reaches the limit of it's travel before the engine starts to rev up and
the airflow going trough the carb creates a *vacuum* as it passes the
pump squirter nozzles. You'll notice that fuel is being sucked *into*
the carbs rather than being blown out of them like we see with the Mini engine.
Another point to consider is that unlike the Mini engine with it's individual runners, these two Dominators are on a plenum which means
each cylinder sees all 8 venturi every time the inlet valve opens.
His explanations are an utter nonsense that only someone who has no understanding of these things could invent, and regardless of whatever
he *thinks* cannot happen the reality is that the engine is not only
using these very large carburettors effectively but it is making enough power to pull the load on the dyno to a very high rpm in a very short
amount of time.
Things that should not be possible in the mental case's world, yet here
it is happening for all to see.... :)

The way a multiple carb/venturi setup of a supposed 2300 CFM gets

Did you ever think that a carby capable of a greater flow might be

With competition engines the likes of which was shown in the video I
linked to, carbutetor sizes are generally determined by where the engine makes the most power in the RPM band they want the engine to operate in,
and the most often used method of determining that, aside from raw power output testing, is by using manifold vacuum.
CFM ratings on carburetors are a complete irrelevance as far as tuning
for power is concerned. Manifold vacuum is the key. If you're showing
more than around 1 and a half inches of mercury at wide open throttle
then your carburetor is actually a restriction.

It can be a complex issue as there are many factors in play, but the
short answer is that the best carburetor for any engine depends entirely
on what you plan to do with it.
Back in the good old days when carburetors were all we had,
manufacturers used to bring out special "performance" models of certain vehicles, and one of the ways they upped the performance of an engine
was by increasing the size or number of carburetors fitted to it.
There's been a number of such cars released over the years, and things
that spring immediately to mind are cars like a Mini Cooper S for
example, which had a pair of SU carburetors whereas the standard Mini
only had one. Often they would also do things like change the camshaft profile and increase the compression ratio which added extra horsepower.
But adding that power sometimes comes at the expense of practicality. To
use another example, look at early Ford Falcons with a 351 cubic inch
engine.
In the early 1970's, a standard 351 cubic inch powered Falcon came with
a two barrel carbutretor and made 250hp. At the other end of the scale,
the Falcon GT came with a 4 barrel carburetor, a higher compression and
a different camshaft and it made 295hp. In reality it was probably
closer to around 330hp, but 295 was the official rated output.
What difference did that make to driving the things? The GT was the more powerful car obviously and had far greater performance when you wanted
to go for a fang, but in normal everyday puttering around suburbia it
wasn't anywhere near as practical as the standard engine for the simple reason being that the more power you make the futher up the rev range
you make it and the more the low rpm performance is compromised as a
result.
This is a very basic explanation and there are a lot more variables than
I'm mentioning here, but simply put back in the days of carbureted
engines the more you modified them to make power the worse their low
speed performance would suffer which is why most high performance
carbureted engines are pigs to drive at low speeds.

can calculate the air flow with a well known formula. The primary
variable is Volumetric Efficiency hereinafter known as VE. The VE of a typical road car is about 80-85% and will have a broad power band and
be very streetable. A well tuned performance car will have 90-100% but
an all out performance car will top out at 110% and will have a very
narrow power band and typically very high in the RPM range.
-a-a-a-a-a-a-a CID|uRPM|uVE
CFM =-a-a ----------
-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a 3456
Take the above formula and add in whatever engine details you like.
Darren boasted about a 350 Chev engine so use that.
-a-a-a-a-a-a-a 350x8000x1.10
CFM =-a-a -------------a-a =-a 891 CFM
-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a 3456
Now, that above is the maximum airflow through a 350 Chev V8 at
8,000RPM with a Volumetric Efficiency of 110%. You are not going to
get any more air through the system than that unless, maybe, you are a
F1 race engine builder - and they run their engines at way higher revs.
I already mentioned what actually happens in the manifold, each
venturi feeds one cylinder so each cylinder is treating each venturi
as a single throat carburettor with minimal looping inside the plenum chamber. Listen to the intake sound of a single throat carb on a 4
cylinder engine - a steady hiss. Do the same on the 350 Chev engine at
one venturi of a 2 by Holley 4 BBL carb system on it and and you will
never hear a steady hiss. You'll hear a hiss at every intake stroke only.
For naturally aspirated petrol engine, the ideal air-fuel ratio for
maximum power is 12.8:1 to 13.2:1. Split the difference, go for 13:1.
Because you have an airflow limit and an ideal fuel ratio it is
possible to calculate your BSFC (Brake Specific Fuel Consumption). But
right there is your maximum power limit - the amount of fuel it is
possible for the engine to burn. You can go richer but the excess fuel
won't have sufficient oxygen to burn - so it will exit the exhaust as unburnt fuel - typically seen as flames out the exhaust. Yes, that
signifies fuel that didn't completely burn inside the cylinder
therefore its heat didn't contribute to the power.
But it gets worse. Only 20%-40% of the fuel's energy is converted into useful work at the crankshaft. The rest is dissipated as waste heat.
Exhaust Gases: ~30% to 40% lost.
Engine Cooling System: ~25% to 30% lost.
Friction & Pumping Losses: ~5% to 10% lost.
Parasitic Loads: ~3% to 5% lost.
So, your power is limited by the quantity of air you ingest and then
you lose heaps of power to *losses* over which you have little
control. Get more air in, you burn more fuel, you get more power - but
you need to go to supercharging in order to do that. Or rev the engine
much higher. For an old Chev V8, 8,000 RPM is already requiring
considerable beefing up inside the engine and that will cost a motza. Remember, Darren claims the engine he used had a *Ford cylinder head*
on it for better airflow. Given the differences between the two heads vis-a-vis stud patterns, I call bullshit on that. He can make the
effort to prove his claim with *photos*, or better yet, a *sequence*
of photos showing the *conversion*. FFS, if I had put in that much
effort, I would have made a series of photos of the process, even if
only to ensure repeatability.
This all harks back to what I said way back, the 350 Chev engine
simply cannot use the full flow rate (2300 CFM) of the carbs planted
on top of it. Compromises have to be made and, quite frankly, fuel
injection makes the task so much easier and *more efficient*.

You have no concept of discussion and fail basic comprehension you
clueless stupid blowhard. No wonder you flunked school and never

so what is this argument about in laymans terms?
What this is about Felix, is these two clueless buffoons insisting
that carburetors with an airflow rate greater than the theoretical
maximum of a given engine won't work on that engine, which is a
complete and utter nonsense.
is it what happens if you fit a carby with the capacity to flow more
air/fuel mixture than the engine needs? I would have thought maybe
there's no issue if the mixture is right.
It can be a complex issue as there are many factors in play, but the
short answer is that the best carburetor for any engine depends
entirely on what you plan to do with it.
Back in the good old days when carburetors were all we had,
manufacturers used to bring out special "performance" models of
certain vehicles, and one of the ways they upped the performance of an engine was by increasing the size or number of carburetors fitted to
it. There's been a number of such cars released over the years, and
things that spring immediately to mind are cars like a Mini Cooper S
for example, which had a pair of SU carburetors whereas the standard
Mini only had one. Often they would also do things like change the
camshaft profile and increase the compression ratio which added extra horsepower.
But adding that power sometimes comes at the expense of practicality.
To use another example, look at early Ford Falcons with a 351 cubic inch engine.
In the early 1970's, a standard 351 cubic inch powered Falcon came
with a two barrel carbutretor and made 250hp. At the other end of the
scale, the Falcon GT came with a 4 barrel carburetor, a higher
compression and a different camshaft and it made 295hp. In reality it
was probably closer to around 330hp, but 295 was the official rated
output.
What difference did that make to driving the things? The GT was the
more powerful car obviously and had far greater performance when you
wanted to go for a fang, but in normal everyday puttering around
suburbia it wasn't anywhere near as practical as the standard engine
for the simple reason being that the more power you make the futher up
the rev range you make it and the more the low rpm performance is compromised as a result.
This is a very basic explanation and there are a lot more variables
than I'm mentioning here, but simply put back in the days of
carbureted engines the more you modified them to make power the worse
their low speed performance would suffer which is why most high
performance carbureted engines are pigs to drive at low speeds.

Well, you see, I had the full kit of teaching tools right at hand.
Here? I have bugger all. All I had here was my automotive library
which I recently donated to the automotive department at the local
TAFE. I no longer have even that.
At the college I had chalkboards, OHPs, video, Oscilloscopes, and more
back then. I was able to *show* everything, students were able to *experience* everything. We had everything we needed to teach with;
https://www.kangan.edu.au/campus/docklands/docklands-3d-tours
The old campus at Gleadell Street had all old stuff in it. Even the
dynos were ancient. In 94 we moved into the new Campus in Cremorne
Street, Richmond - all new gear - new dynos, new wheel aligners, new
engine diagnostic equipment, new brake testers, new auto trans tester
- you name it, we had it. When the automotive department moved into
the new campus at the Docklands, it was all new stuff again - and more
of it. Much, much more! That happened in 2012 and I was already here
by then and long retired. I miss the access.

Do yourself a massive favour and just fuck off.

Nope.
No? You're just here for the insightful and interesting commentary that

"reasonable humans" don't defend abusive, serial lying hypocrites.

Well, you see, I had the full kit of teaching tools right at hand.
Here? I have bugger all. All I had here was my automotive library
which I recently donated to the automotive department at the local
TAFE. I no longer have even that.
At the college I had chalkboards, OHPs, video, Oscilloscopes, and more
back then. I was able to *show* everything, students were able to
*experience* everything. We had everything we needed to teach with;
https://www.kangan.edu.au/campus/docklands/docklands-3d-tours
The old campus at Gleadell Street had all old stuff in it. Even the
dynos were ancient. In 94 we moved into the new Campus in Cremorne
Street, Richmond - all new gear - new dynos, new wheel aligners, new
engine diagnostic equipment, new brake testers, new auto trans tester
- you name it, we had it. When the automotive department moved into
the new campus at the Docklands, it was all new stuff again - and more
of it. Much, much more! That happened in 2012 and I was already here
by then and long retired. I miss the access.

cannot flow the amount of air of which that carb setup is

Well, you see,
Why snap at this bait? Demented Keith forgot engines have cams and
so took a cheap jab because that's all he has left - while he
completely ignores the mountains of bullshit from that other lump
of shit he's clumped himself to.
Oh dear ol' snotty is losing his grip on reality, and getting
himself worked up at his hero being made to look foolish.
Clearly Keith is a talk the talker, not a walk the walker - just
like that idiot he defends and enables. Those two are clumped
together in the kitty littter box because they are same type of
character.
Clearly ol' snotty can't grasp the difference between defending
somebody and attacking the attacker who fills this place with boring
repetitive shit day after day. Go and have a Bex and a good lie
down, maybe that will return you to something resembling a
reasonable human again.
you'd be unable to recognise reasonable humanity due to lack of
personal experience-a :)
in simple terms then. 'you'd be unable to recognise a reasonable human
since you're not a reasonable human yourself'.

Well, you see, I had the full kit of teaching tools right at hand.
Here? I have bugger all. All I had here was my automotive library
which I recently donated to the automotive department at the local
TAFE. I no longer have even that.
At the college I had chalkboards, OHPs, video, Oscilloscopes, and
more back then. I was able to *show* everything, students were able
to *experience* everything. We had everything we needed to teach with; >>>>
https://www.kangan.edu.au/campus/docklands/docklands-3d-tours
The old campus at Gleadell Street had all old stuff in it. Even the
dynos were ancient. In 94 we moved into the new Campus in Cremorne
Street, Richmond - all new gear - new dynos, new wheel aligners, new
engine diagnostic equipment, new brake testers, new auto trans
tester - you name it, we had it. When the automotive department
moved into the new campus at the Docklands, it was all new stuff
again - and more of it. Much, much more! That happened in 2012 and I
was already here by then and long retired. I miss the access.
how cool is that place! bet you would have loved to be teaching there :) >>>
desire to teach anywhere. I like creating things, or, at a pinch,
fixing them.

He's out of his depth here, and in a state of mad anxiety because you've pulled him up on his bullshit and made it clear to him that it ain't
going to wash.
He also has no idea about camshaft profiles, so perhaps this will help him:
https://www.badasscars.com/cartimages/prod_zm_583.JPG
On the right is a conventional "flat tappet" camshaft, while on the left
is a modern roller. The difference in opening and closing ramp angles is like black and white. While the older style flat tappet has very shallow ramp angles, the roller cam has quite aggressive opening and closing
ramp rates, with the closing ramps on some of today's cams being near zero.

Well, you see, I had the full kit of teaching tools right at hand.
Here? I have bugger all. All I had here was my automotive library
which I recently donated to the automotive department at the local
TAFE. I no longer have even that.
At the college I had chalkboards, OHPs, video, Oscilloscopes, and
more back then. I was able to *show* everything, students were able
to *experience* everything. We had everything we needed to teach with;
https://www.kangan.edu.au/campus/docklands/docklands-3d-tours
The old campus at Gleadell Street had all old stuff in it. Even the
dynos were ancient. In 94 we moved into the new Campus in Cremorne
Street, Richmond - all new gear - new dynos, new wheel aligners, new
engine diagnostic equipment, new brake testers, new auto trans tester
- you name it, we had it. When the automotive department moved into
the new campus at the Docklands, it was all new stuff again - and
more of it. Much, much more! That happened in 2012 and I was already
here by then and long retired. I miss the access.
how cool is that place! bet you would have loved to be teaching there :)

I'll bet he didn't :)
He's out of his depth here, and in a state of mad anxiety because
you've pulled him up on his bullshit and made it clear to him that it
ain't going to wash.
He also has no idea about camshaft profiles, so perhaps this will help
him:
https://www.badasscars.com/cartimages/prod_zm_583.JPG
On the right is a conventional "flat tappet" camshaft, while on the
left is a modern roller. The difference in opening and closing ramp
angles is like black and white. While the older style flat tappet has
very shallow ramp angles, the roller cam has quite aggressive opening
and closing ramp rates, with the closing ramps on some of today's cams
being near zero.
LOL... you are so clueless. "near zero"... hahahaha!

You defend and enable an abusive serial liar while you nitpick
reasonable humans who won't tolerate it.
You have no integrity, all you have is ego and trust me on this - your
ego can't compensate or carry you. You're an empty vessel like that fool
you enable.

The old campus at Gleadell Street had all old stuff in it. Even the
dynos were ancient. In 94 we moved into the new Campus in Cremorne
Street, Richmond - all new gear - new dynos, new wheel aligners, new
engine diagnostic equipment, new brake testers, new auto trans

moved into the new campus at the Docklands, it was all new stuff
again - and more of it. Much, much more! That happened in 2012 and I
was already here by then and long retired. I miss the access.
how cool is that place! bet you would have loved to be teaching there :) >>>

"reasonable humans" don't defend abusive, serial lying hypocrites.

I used to be heavily into drag racing years ago, but for me it was
never a spectator sport. It was always a participation sport for
mine, with the challenge being make more power and go faster than
anyone else you competed against.
lemme guess. you don't have any pics of your stellar drag racing
days you could post here? not even just one?..
How about some pics of your successful business ventures?
what photos have you posted of anything you've bragged about here? Oh
yes, that would be none.
Tell me what I've bragged about, and I'll see if I've got any pics.

Well, you see,
Why snap at this bait? Demented Keith forgot engines have cams and
so took a cheap jab because that's all he has left - while he
completely ignores the mountains of bullshit from that other lump
of shit he's clumped himself to.
Oh dear ol' snotty is losing his grip on reality, and getting
himself worked up at his hero being made to look foolish.
Clearly Keith is a talk the talker, not a walk the walker - just
like that idiot he defends and enables. Those two are clumped
together in the kitty littter box because they are same type of
character.
Clearly ol' snotty can't grasp the difference between defending
somebody and attacking the attacker who fills this place with
boring repetitive shit day after day. Go and have a Bex and a good
lie down, maybe that will return you to something resembling a
reasonable human again.
"reasonable humans" don't defend abusive, serial lying hypocrites.
And now you've made yoursself a comprehension-challenged nitwit.
Now, about those examples of your photo restoration prowess, or are
you running away as usual?
Right. You want me prove a trivial thing, but won't ask Fraudster to
stump up for any of his massive claims? Thanks for highlighting why
you're not a "reasonable human".

Well, you see, I had the full kit of teaching tools right at hand.
Here? I have bugger all. All I had here was my automotive library
which I recently donated to the automotive department at the local
TAFE. I no longer have even that.
At the college I had chalkboards, OHPs, video, Oscilloscopes, and
more back then. I was able to *show* everything, students were
able to *experience* everything. We had everything we needed to
teach with;
https://www.kangan.edu.au/campus/docklands/docklands-3d-tours
The old campus at Gleadell Street had all old stuff in it. Even
the dynos were ancient. In 94 we moved into the new Campus in
Cremorne Street, Richmond - all new gear - new dynos, new wheel
aligners, new engine diagnostic equipment, new brake testers, new
auto trans tester - you name it, we had it. When the automotive
department moved into the new campus at the Docklands, it was all
new stuff again - and more of it. Much, much more! That happened
in 2012 and I was already here by then and long retired. I miss
the access.

Back in the good old days when carburetors were all we had,
manufacturers used to bring out special "performance" models of
certain vehicles, and one of the ways they upped the performance of an
engine was by increasing the size or number of carburetors fitted to
it. There's been a number of such cars released over the years, and
things that spring immediately to mind are cars like a Mini Cooper S
for example, which had a pair of SU carburetors whereas the standard
Mini only had one. Often they would also do things like change the
camshaft profile and increase the compression ratio which added extra
horsepower.
the Sprite had twin SU's

This all harks back to what I said way back, the 350 Chev engine
simply cannot use the full flow rate (2300 CFM) of the carbs planted
on top of it. Compromises have to be made and, quite frankly, fuel
injection makes the task so much easier and *more efficient*.
so basically as i said then. it's about fitting a carby/carbys with
capacity to flow more air/fuel mixture than the engine can use. I don't
see why that would cause a-a problem.

LOL... you are so clueless. "near zero"... hahahaha!

A couple of points. Firstly, the valves operate from a *cam* so >>>>>>>>> ther is no sharp cutoff. Regardless of what happens at the

I hope that you did better as a teacher.
Well, you see, I had the full kit of teaching tools right at hand.
Here? I have bugger all. All I had here was my automotive library

how cool is that place! bet you would have loved to be teaching
there :)
desire to teach anywhere. I like creating things, or, at a pinch,
fixing them.
I was addressing Xeno
lol!
Gorn Richo! Here's your chance to be a "reasonable human" and admit that
you stuffed up.

He *wasn't* teaching there Felix. That place is the *current* facility
at Docklands, which I doubt he's ever been to even just as a visitor.

The place he claims to have taught at had none of that gear.
Ask me how I know... :)No need, it's patently obvious you don't have a clue.

So this Master of the Automotive Universe has been unable to work out

This all harks back to what I said way back, the 350 Chev engine
simply cannot use the full flow rate (2300 CFM) of the carbs planted
on top of it. Compromises have to be made and, quite frankly, fuel
injection makes the task so much easier and *more efficient*.
so basically as i said then. it's about fitting a carby/carbys with
capacity to flow more air/fuel mixture than the engine can use. I
don't see why that would cause a-a problem.
It causes low speed driveability issues as I mentioned, but whether that makes a difference to anyone depends on what the engine is being used for.
Your mental mate is laying on his thickest coating of techno bullshit to
try to show that what he's seen in the video I linked to with own eyes
won't work, and he's achieving nothing other than making himself look
like a clueless idiot in the process in demonstrating a complete *lack*
of understanding how carburetors work.
I could go into great detail here, but I won't waste my time as you're
not interested enough to care and most likely wouldn't understand
anyway, but carburetors on normally aspirated engines require a
differential in air pressure above and below the throttle plates in
order to work, and the lower that differential is at wide open throttle
the larger a carburetor needs to be in order to meet the engine's
airflow requirements.
With less force pulling air through the carb, the larger a carb needs to
be in order to reduce the resistance of the air passing through it. The
net result is that on a normally aspirated competition engine with
excellent volumetric efficiency spinning at very high rpm, the airflow requirements are enormous which requires carburetor(s) of very large
airflow ability so as not to restrict the flow of air into the engine
while manifold vacuum is low.
This is precisely why in the video I linked to earlier the engine
turning 8000+ rpm is pulling fuel out of the pump squirters on a pair of Holly Dominators as the carbs were probably a little short on flow
ability for that particular engine/induction setup, and why Holley themselves rate their carb's airflow ability at 1.5 inches of Mercury.
Your mental mate will tell you this is a complete nonsense, while
offering no explanation for the engine in the video running as well as
it is despite him claiming that it cannot use those carburetors :)
