My guess would be Keith Black Hypereutectic. I believe they are 10-1 with a
52cc head. Watch that ring end gap!!!

yeah I concur, I started my gauge install, but have been having some severe shoulder pain due to torn Labrum tissue. I have an MRI scheduled but not till the 15th  then I have to wait till the 5th of Feb to see the Orthopedic surgeon. I'll be putting up with this D$#mn bike accident and it repercussions for months more to come.
  So anyway, I pulled the gauge cluster and started the work on mounting the billet specialties 6 gauge panel to the steel dash. I quickly realized that I don't have the patience to rework the steel dash to accept the billet panel alone. I have instead gone with mounting the billet panel to the raveged plastic stock gauge panel. I cut the plastic for a preliminary fit and haven't went back to it in a couple of days, maybe tomorrow.
   My 10mm blue high intesity leds are here and I've trial fitted one to a 194 socket and installed it, with 9 volts it lights the gauge well with a nice blue color. with 12 volts it is even a little brighter and quite easy to see the light even in room light. So I'm thinking this will work out well in all the 2 1/16" gauges. I'm not sure how well the single led will work on the larger speedo and tach as they only have provisions for one led. I would like to add more as I have 4 extra leds, but I'm not sure I am willing to start drilling holes into my new Autometer gauges! I am sanding the tips of the leds with 320 grit paper this does help the light diffuse better out the sides. I might try some deflectors for the tips if I need to. I haven't really got far into it yet.
  I've a lot of work going to the full aftermarket gauges with tach and electronic speedo. It'll be while! I think it will be worth it in the end.

I then did the same with the 192 bulbs (3 CP). The 192 bulbs were warm like the 168's, but not hot to the touch. Certainly not a conclusive test, but I suspect if I can hold them, then the platic indicator covers shouldn't melt (I think). Guess I will find out. BTW, the 192, made the dash backlighting real nice.

I'm putting this on my calendar.
The timing may actually work out to finally let me attend one of these things.
Is it possible to find NHRA rules for "slow" cars online?

I heard through Eddie Stakes that the Rogue Convertible SC?Rambler clone was on ebay recently but did not hit its reserve.  I don't recall who owned that car.  Does anyone know who has it?
