Was reading a thread about quench yesterday that made me realize I was assbackwards in my understanding of it. Still going through another on backpressure -that's a hot topic among harley riders. Good stuff here!
Yep, I have 1948 Pan engine and trans in a 72 Santee frame. "Back pressure" is something I've had to deal with the front exhaust pipe going under the frame. Back pressure is not really a correct term= it should be "resistance to flow".
