SMOKIN’ SS – Part 5
If you’ve ever built a car from scratch, then you know that getting the basic body and chassis together is not the tough part. What’s tough are all the details that eat up hours, days and weeks, but without this attention to detail, the project would suffer.

WHO NEEDS THE LOTTO?
As the saying goes, “some guys have all the luck.” Out in the great state of New York, there is more going on than the Manhattan madness that most folks envision. There’s a distinct geographical separation between the urban density of Manhattan and the more rural confines of the area known as upstate New York. Most of us think of New York the city, where all the cars seem to be yellow, but in other parts of the state, driving is not a form of gladiatorial combat and there are more than a few hot rods around.

SQUIRT GUN
You have to admit that the thought of injecting water into your engine sounds crazy. We all know that water doesn’t burn and it can’t be compressed. Those unfortunate souls who have tried to do this now have engines that are the equivalent of ship anchors. In this installation, we aren’t going to be injecting huge amounts of water into an engine, but rather a fine mist that’s proportionate to the fuel flow (10 percent to 20 percent), using a high-pressure pump. This will help lower the chances of detonation by reducing the intake charge temperature.
