Hi Bruce , have tried this function several times and it doesn't seem to work my end. Most likely the problem is my end.

Lets give it another go , went fishing yesterday afternoon and up to 10ish PM , I didn't catch anything but my mate Adrian AKA Trout_Master i call him now landed 3 nice size trout and many pan sized ones that he let go and kept the big ones.

One was confiscated by me to which I will eat tonight ;)

Here is another attempt to post a picture of Adrian hold his nice rainbow trout he caught last night.

Amazing I fished with the usual stuff scrubbies (large bush worms ) maggots and powerbait , where Adrian tried mudeyes and powerbait to which he caught all the trout on powerbait. Since the late has a huge hatch of mudeyes and insects buzzing around you would think that would be the choice of food but not the case LOL.

cheers


PS : I found the problem , I would click view post and loose the attachment(s) , silly me once again , had my suspicion it was me LOL , thanks Bruce for clearing that up for me. lets see if this works.

If I remember, the Forum software crashed at that point, and Bruce had real problems recovering many of the damaged threads in the dyno section.
But the corrupted data base was never able to be completely fixed.
So although many old threads in the dyno section can still be viewed, new posts cannot be added onto the end.

Your best bet would be to begin another brand new thread, giving a link to the old original thread (as background reading) and reviving the whole topic again anew.
Also known as the infamous "Warpspeed" on some other Forums.

Marvel Mystery Oil - SG is 0.876" color is red the MSDS is almost the same as Dywer Gage oil from my research. There is a thread here somewhere on fluids. Might be a few years old.

Glad to see the mystery oil will work especially for us that has our bench out in a cold garage. I have to change that before it gets really cold.

:cool: Just Built my Manometer. 108" Dynamic Range. The 1st step to flow.

Stood it up and realized... :O perhaps I am an idiot. Gonna have to read this Thread's manometer links to actually do it right this time. Thinking something just south of 8' would be wise. ???
12.9s @ 106.5MPH on 87 Octane, no ping. <--should be high 11's but I dunno why I'm so slow.

woooooooooooooooooooo this flow_bench would require a decent manometer sized scale reading

Get me a motor that size and a plate to flow 2500. Machine a 10 inch plate and a 14" rise on the inclined is 4880cfm More than enough room to fit it. And I will challenge that number cfm and try for 60" with a home built. Just for kicks, I'll then add water. I'll stand outside the garage though. :p

While the stand is very accurate, (as was mentioned Ford Research has one but a smaller capacity), the bench may be the highest flowing bench designed by Flow Systems, it is not the highest capacity flow bench ever used routinely.

In World War II, Carb manufactures for the Aircraft Industry had flow benches with over 3000 cfm capacity. I have seen pictures of as many as 10 of them all in a row in a plant. Holley had one of the 3000 cfm "orifice" benches at their Research and Engineering facility (where I worked) in the 70s.
Some of the old "Holley Carburetor Books by Mike Urich" show the 3000+ bench in them.

Cool bench though! A lot better instrumentation.

Dammit ! don't you hate when one person uses a particular unit in measuring and you have to convert to what units you have come accustomed with very annoying indeed.


here is a useful website to which I'm sure there are many more out there

Pressure units conversion chart

Conversions of many more pressure units


thought i would share mite help someone cause I know it certainly helps me.
