I added a page describing the "ALL" Valve - let me know if it makes sense

Very interesting web site David. I've already learned a few things! I'll be back!

Thanks, looks like you are pretty aggressive from just past 60ft to to 330 then ~1/8, flatten out.
I assume clutch is just as aggressive.

 

[darkside]

that was a track in Canada - good prep up to 330, with a valley on the track about 500ft so we have to park the clutch and drop the timing for the rest of the run (4.1 at 277) that pass

 

[dboxell]

Thank you for the insight, good pass!

 

[dboxell]

What do you do with timing and fuel at the 1-2 shift?

 

[darkside]

No shift -- direct drive

 

[dboxell]

All the better numbers!

Who makes the all-in-one valve? I want to say Del Worsham worked with a fuel system parts person (small, maybe even one man shop), but the name escapes me. I am guessing at this point many different teams have copied it and build their own valve.

I do see "Nitro AL Valve & Related Parts" on AJPE's site, but I am not sure if that is an all-in-one valve. There is AL Valve and Slide valves listed, so I assume the AL Valve is an all-in-one valve, but I'm not 100% sure

don Jackson..... he was already making the BDK..... no copies yet..... Don Bender is the tech support

Thanks for the information. I am surprised no one has copied it. I imagine that will happen sometime in the future unless Don has it locked down tight (say, a patent).

Donnie introduced me to Don at Pomona after the race. Very interesting and super nice man. Another item on that trip of a lifetime! These are the good ol days!!

Bob Otto -automan make one

Donnie Bender - there is a name I haven't heard in a while. I remember when he was crew chief for I think Brandon Bernstein and they'd whack the throttle. That and he used 4.25 inch pistons and a shorter stroke, which is not the "usual" set up for today's fuelers (4.5 inch stroke and about 4.187 inch pistons).

 

[darkside]

I am familiar with much of Bob's fuel management components but didn't know he had a device that combined the 3 basic items
…. do you have any more info on it (His website is down)
thanks

 

[flapjack]

His website is down

And it's not down in a good way. If you go directly to http://www.automantechnologies.com it redirects you to a page as to why the site is down.
