Firing order for 1976 500ci cadillac motor?
500 (8.2L) 1-5-6-3-4-2-7-8 distributor rotation ... clockwiseWhere is #1 on the distributor?
Timing and distributor position 1976 Cadillac eldorado fuel injected 500ci?
With the flywheel timing mark aligned at zero, #1 cylinder (front left facing engine) should be at top dead center and distributor rotor should be pointing at #1 post (1st post clockwise past the battery connector on the dist cap). If the distributor has been removed and reinstalled, the rotor may point at the opposite post (180deg out). If so, the distributor will have to be lifted enough to allow the rotor to be turned back to the #1 post. Be careful, if you try firing the engine with the timing significantly off, she will kick back into the starter, possibly damaging the starter gear or worse....! Once started, set the timing to 12deg btdc....good luck! Mike
What kind of engine is in John Force's Funny Car?
All funny car engines are upto 500ci V8 OHV superchargered on alcohol/nitro mix fuel engines "based" on the 426 hemi. All the parts are altered/custom to live at <8,000hp.
What are the cam specs for an nhra 500ci prostock engine?
They are insane. Over an inch of lift and the duration at fifty is high 280s low 290s. But they use a lot of lobe separation angle (116-118). They will idle at a decent rpm. Those cams KILL valve springs. They go through a set maybe every two/three runs. $4000 a set?? But you are lifting a very large valve an INCH @9000 rpm.
What engine does a funny car use?
Funny cars run 500ci pushrod( OHV) V8 engines based on the Chrysler 426ci. Hemi. However, the sport long ago reached such a high competitive level that no funny car can use an actual production engine block and have a hope of winning. The version in funny cars use parts specifically designed to win - and survive the incredible stresses involved in this class of drag racing. The street version of the Hemi from the factory was rated at 425hp( actually produced around 450-470 Gross horsepower, 390hp net/todays rating) while funny car engines produce 7,000-8,000 horsepower running Nitromethane/alcohol fuel misture and <45psi of boost. The funny car engine only needs to last for one quarter-mile blast at a time, it's disassembled, inspect, and replace major parts after every run. So the basic architecture such as the cylinder spacing, angle of the two banks of cylinders (the "V" in V-8), the two rows of rocker arms in each head, the single camshaft and pushrod actuation of the valves and hemispherical combusition chamber shape that gives the Hemi its name -- all are clearly recognizable as developed from the Chrysler 426 Hemi. On the other hand, there may not be a single part that is swappable with a street hemi. Many racing parts are modified/completely unsuited to street use. For example, engine block of a funny car may have no regular coolant passages. There is no radiator, starter, battery, no mufflers,Aluminum connecting rods... all of this is fine for a quarter mile at a time but obviously would not make for a practical street engine. Top Fuel dragsters also use a very similar engine set up. For more information check out NHRA.com, the home page for the National Hot Rod Association.
