Title: Fuel injected,super charged grey Post by: robbzfc58 on August 20, 2003, 08:06:38 AM 1960`-70s race car. Built by brothers Barry and Arthur
(well known locally for their engineering and mech skills) This car broke all records. It had a norman super charger and home made fuel injection system.

it was removed from the motor when the norman was fitted & modified to fit a red motor Title: Re: Fuel injected,super charged grey Post by: robbzfc58 on August 20, 2003, 08:12:29 AM Part of the system on the blower

this was all pulled out of the shed today for me to photograph...complete with 30 years of dust! Title: Re: Fuel injected,super charged grey Post by: zulu on August 20, 2003, 10:24:06 AM Hey Trev, Did I miss something? ??? where is the Norman now?
Gary PS That unit would have pulled the caravan along well :o by the way, will email pics of (new) van soon. Title: Re: Fuel injected,super charged grey Post by: robbzfc58 on August 20, 2003, 10:41:19 AM g'day gary the car was sold yonks ago with the norman still attached barry & his son almost shed a tear every time its mentioned.barry lent me a news paper article telling the story of the cars 1st outing where it cleaned up big time knocking 10.4 secs off 6 lap record held by brother arthur (i'll post it tomorrow)
