[Dean Pappas]

I just realized, that qoute is probably more like "Riiiiight! What's a cubit?"

Hi Anthony,
Yes! The pipe length specified in cubits ..." What's a cubit?" "Let's see, I used to know what a cubit was." 
The stock OS header plus a Hattori 900 pipe yields 24" to the baffle. (1.33 cubits)
This is where I run my pipe length, using a Bolly 140 EQ, but I use a throttle-coupled
mixture control needle valve to fix the fuel metering for the prop I use.
I also run rather rich with two glo-plugs and only one head gasket, which already helps with the mid-range richness.
For must of us running two head gaskets, to stop the pinging, pipe lengths maybe 25" to 26"  are more appropriate.
If I understand Mike, he runs at close to 25". 

later,
Dean

Interesting comments will have to give on of these a try. I like to have 
more speed available so the  18.1 X 10.1  sounds more appropriate than the 
W. Am I correct on this?
Does anyone have a pipe length glow plug to baffle since I cut my headers? 
Inches, MM, cubits, etc.

Anthony
