Nelson Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 This is such an interesting car with so much cool history. So, what secret did the Granatelli”s have up their sleeves to help the Lark win a race when they knew it was going to be close and you needed to pull out all the stops?

They killed the alternator draw. (switched off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Posted December 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Dang. I thought this one would last awhile. That is exactly what they did. There is a letter n the file from Joe Granatelli explaining the switch to the first owner. The fan control switch activated and deactivated the alternator for times when you might need just a little more power to the wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantera928 Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 We used to do this with a vacuum switch on road race cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
