A open differential is definitely hurting you, you need to fix that.so...i MAY be able to hit the track again this friday
(not set in stone yet, but i sure hope so)
i have since installed a evap can in the car, so no more worries about tank vents, and replaced the fuel pump with a high volume unit (still mechanical though)
i also swapped out to tired N50s for a set of nitto 555R 275/65-15s
now, im still running an open rear end, so do i still avoid the burn out box?
(wouldnt want one tire to get warm and grippy and steer me into a wall)
im hoping to get some better times this time around, i feel like i should be able to break into the 12s
i will definitly try thisLeave the line at about 1500rpm and ROLL into the throttle. It will feel slow and like it is taking forever to get going but is actually way quicker than doing a "one wheel peel" to the 1/8 mile.
I got a cone style sure grip in the garage, but I don't know how to install it
Met one of the new neighbours the other day (69 dart) who said he would get me in touch with one of his buddies, who can set it up for me, but we have to gotten there yet
-- Street tires - non posi-- I'm guessing mid to high 12s.-- ....any guesses on E.T.s? -
Well when is the next t&t, when are we going to see pictures and time slips ? ?
couldnt think of what could possibly pinchSure something is not pinching when the engine is torquing and reducing flow?
I would not go to the track in anything w/ out 2 wheels pulling !Ok one more thought if your sending unit is not accurate and your all most out of gas.............when you launch the car, fuel my run away from pick-up, causing it to stall out.
IF this was the case, i think it would quit completely and then be hard to start!
Do you drive to the track or trailer it there???

#1 make double sure that your fuel level is in the middle of the sight glass in both the primary and secondary bowls.
#2 when the sock in the tank was talked about. You were under the impression that compressed air was used to clean the sock. NO, compressed air is to blow the sock clean off the suction tube on sending unit.
#5 remove your gas cap and take it for a hard drive.
#4 go buy a lone piece of rubber fuel line, (you can use this to replace all the rubber lines in the system after words) Start eng and verify that the fuel bowls are full of fuel. (shut eng off) disconnect the rubber hose from the fuel pump(the one going to the carb) and install your new rubber fuel line into a container. run the fuel line under the car and into a container out next to your wheel.(having a fire extinguisher on hand is always a good idea.)
#6 replace your fuel filter and blow threw the old filter, to see if it is plugged
Open up quote to get my comments.did this, several times
played with the levels a little bit, running them a hair higher then it was at first, but that made no differences
Probably not the problem unless the float can not travel to the bottom of the bowl to get a speedy fill of the bowl
gotcha, i guess i did this them, and IF it blew off it is floating around in the tank somewhere
i could see it getting sucked into the pickup and restricting fuel flow.
If it comes out clean and not damage then i would reinstall it on the new sending unit........My guess is that it has been removed long ago.
on the bright side, i got a larger pickup on order, so well see when im ready to swap that on where the sock is
would you suggest leaving the sock off allogether?
My opinion is, Yes. If and or when you go electric fuel pump you will need a better fuel filter then that anyways(it is just a screen)
the problem here is, i dont know of a stretch of road empty, and long enough where i feel safe doing this type of "test"
under normal acceleration, i have no issues, it is only at the 1/4 mile drag
My thought would be to start really slow on a freeway on ramp, and nail it!!!!!
this is to verify the pump is pushing plenty of fuel, correct?
yes
obviously a trickle will be too little, but how can i tell when it is "enough" ?
If it start to flow out decent and then goes to a trickle, then you know there is something that is trying to block fuel when the demand goes up! In you suction side of the line.
the lines going from the pump to the filter, regulator and carb are all braided AN-6 lines, and less then a year old.
i'm running a billet rebuildable filter
i will tear it apart, check for junk and report back
