Completely street legal. I don’t have street tires. I just roll on the Hoosier quick time pros and whatever the skinny Hoosiers are up front.

it's a street car that has become less fun on the street. progressively over the years it has become more strip than street.

I'm going to try and hit Pacific Raceways in Kent.

After all the checks, cleaning, and cleaning again, and timing adjusted, I hope to make it out this next weekend for a couple passes!

Even if that’s not it, crazy it would be fine one weekend, the car gets parked for a week, and all of a sudden it’s off.

Ugh. That would be great, and equally embarrassing!

well doubled checked no vent tube (at cell) blockages, clean and clear fuel pump. I put things back together and idled in the garage to check for fuel leaks, then checked vacuum leaks again with soapy water, checked timing, installed another fuel pressure gauge as a double-check. While running...

I've got a pair of Eddy heads with hand work, and Quickfuel Q850 carb which has been great for 4 years right out of the box with minimal adjustments. Prior to all this I had actually been working to lean things up a bit as it had always been a touch on the rich side. Ironically, I had larger...

I'm guessing 525ish HP, so I too think I'm adequate on the lines and parts. The car was running great with a cheaper less flowing pump, and 6AN supply line dead-headed at the regulator. Prior to running the Mallory return regulator, I even used a (new out of the box) Holley dead-head regulator...

Thanks! I'm trying. I am always trying to learn. When I sometimes feel like I'm getting a handle on things, it can be the simplest thing that reminds me I don't really know much about these things. Since i just pumped up the manifold with air last night, I've gotta reset valves, and put it...

Just did this last night. Flat plate and welded an air hose fitting to the center, and mounted onto the manifold. Soapy water with air pressure at 20 psi, then 30, 40, 45, and no bubbles. Should be good here. Thanks for mentioning this.

The original sending unit lasted a few years, and was pretty fouled. I used to do a ton of street driving and was always rich. It stopped sending a signal, therefore it was replaced. The previous sender when working seemed to match that of the plugs and the dyno testing prior to the engine...

You are correct, all pressure tests are at idle. I hoped that going with this specific pump, and increasing supply lines to 10AN from cell all the way through the pump, and 8AN out of pump to carb and return I would be "good" with respect to flow when accelerating or WOT for a 1/4 mile. Maybe...

I looked at the product info on mine (Autometer 3379) and it says no "free air calibration necessary", so perhaps I'm good on this. I've got it located at the collector of the header as well. Weird.

Hi, yes, new pump, and also verified flow with a stopwatch and a fuel jug. I believe I was right on the money. Regulated at 6psi, I think it flowed 5 gallons in 1:36.
