How Fast Will A Quincy 6 Go ?

[J-Dub]

Well didn't get'r to 100% today. By the time the we improved the functions of the throttle, distributer lock, water lines to the engine, safe & cool routing of the plug wires, spray shield brackets, it was time to call it a day and a year... So tomorrow is the day we dyno and make beautiful music! As for on the water testing, that'll have to wait till next weekend.

BTW: To all you die hard Quincy guys, WOW! I love to work on race equipment, but the patience and time it takes to do this well is astounding!

Videos will be on tomorrow afternoon of the dyno pulls!

This is a fantastic project J-Dub. Thanks for all the time and effort you are putting into it. You're salvaging some history for those who never witnessed the 6 looper run, and for those of us who did not realize at the time, what we were seeing and hearing. There are movies of some of them racing, but very few cameras back then had sound. Looking forward to the video. It's also great to see that beauty hangin on Howard Anderson's runabout.

Hey J Dub, Did you hurt it on the dyno? You been quit last couple day's. Hope not want to see if you have the stones to grip it tight in that DeSilva!

Hey Steve,

Man, did I ever under estimate the magnitude of this project! If this were any other project, I would have zip tied the plug wires outta the way, I would have shimmed nuts with washers, made chicken s%&t spray shield brackets, and all that.
Also, while I had everything apart, I machined the tower for Corey’s Hydro (Howard’s old boat) to accept the Quincy on that boat too! Now after all this screwing around, both boats will quickly accept the 500 Yamato, 700 Konny, and the 60” Looper!
Gimme a couple weeks, and we will go see how fast it’ll really go on the hydro!
FYI: This engine is not set up “KILL”!

Initial Start up last night. (1-3-12) Every time I turn around there was another challege to overcome. NOW ITS DYNO TIME!

Sorry Steve, I still didn't clean the boat off...

Huh, Huh?

My wife gave me hearing aids for Christmas and this is one of the reason why!

Sure sounded sweet though, and it looks as good as it sounds. Great restoration!

Will some one come wipe the silly grin off my face?

Sounds good J Dub, Hope you can go to the pond this weekend. Not many can understand how long it takes to make the little stuff for a project like this, like making up the wire looms for the plug wires. Still want to see if you have the stones to latch it up all the way and hold it, in that old flower box!

Notice that the candy a$$ pulling it over had to have a bigger diameter rope plate than what you use to use????
