    I have installed a two master cylinder system with a one inch bore for the front an
    and a three quarters for rear jag brakes using a balance bar designed for a race car. Hopefully will have car running after first of the year.

    Is there a Wildwood brake kit that will fit a Jag Rear End? Last time, I checked on this, they needed an adapter bracket, which no one knew where to source

    Mark, if you know what you need or have a diagram/print of the adapter, I know somebody who can make it for you. I'll give you his initials... RPM

    Can you import the pic to your computer? Then you can browse your files and post it from there.

    So . . . when you're idling at a standstill, your battery is running everything?

    That's right. Alternator kicks in at 7mph. Didn't want it mounted on the engine.

    Wow I got it to work. That motor isn't in the car anymore. I used it for mockup. It's a572 in chev 12.5 compression with a 1271 blower 68 percent overdrive. Runs on methenol. Burns 5 gallons in 300 feet in tractor pulls. Has Allen Johnson billet heads, top fuel rods and pistons. Turns 8000rpm in a heartbeat. I have a 350 in the car. I will see if I can get some more pictures.

    Sounds a little overkill for for a bucket! Good decision to go with a 350! Will this be a racer?
