I don't care how fast it was or who put it together, even if it was Motion or the Mason Bros., that looks terrible and I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt that hopefully that was just cobbled together quickly for the magazine shoot or something. That much floppy rubber fuel line not only looks terrible, but it's dangerous as well and would flunk technical inspection at most drag strips. The messed-up thing is if that was a random photo of an unknown car with that fuel line set-up, people would be laughing at it and rolling their eyes but since it happens to be a Baldwin-Motion car, it's supposed to be acceptable. Whatever. I remember doing something like that when I was like 16-17 years old and my father just ripped me a new one after seeing it!</div></div> True, it wouldn't pass tech inspection these days; but back then, there was no max 12&quot; of rubber fuel line rule. Jenkins had lots of rubber line on his motors back in the day. Duct tape too. 1970 NHRA Supernationals:

I built that model...painted it hugger orange. I spent almost two weeks building it...then blew it up with firecrackers and bottle rockets [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]

I was just explaining the firecrackers in a model thing to Benjamin this past weekend, he was a little curious about why one would do that - once he'll sees one blow up he get it! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I'm liking this thread myself! I like the cobbled together fuel system too, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I'm pretty sure we are going to do it - why not??

OK....I'm hooked. Here is a scanned picture of a 1969 Holley Parts Catalog. I actually bought a mint BBC TR-2 at a local swap meet. I had it for 30 minutes and sold it for $125 more than I gave. I wish I would have kept it.
