turbo 6 bangers post here
Gonna start on the return line this week; shouldn't take very long.... I have all the parts... just gotta get in there and git-r-dun.
Sorry you're having problems. It's always something...:prayer:
Well, I finally have something of value to report on the turbo'd '64 Valiant that we're working on:
I FINALLY got all the fittings, fuel line, and the time to do it, and assembled and flow-tested the entire fuel system (minus the carb) today.
That includes a fuel cell, two filters (one before and one after the pump,) a Walbro 51-psi pump, and a Mallory "boost-oriented" regulator.
When I say we "flow-tested it," I mean we hooked up the fuel pickup line to a gallon jug of water, and put the return line in an empty gallon jug, and turned the pump on. We were looking for leaks at fittings, found a few, and fixed them. Now, we need to purge the entire system and get ALL of the water out, and replace it with high-octane fuel.
The only thing left, then, will be to hook up the carb to the regulator, and the fuel system plumbing is DONE!!!:cheers:
Then, we can move on to the wiring, and that may not take so long... hopefully!
I'll post some pictures of the fuel system (really, nothing to look at,) when we get the carb in place and plumbed.
That little Walbro pump is a HOSS!!!:rambo:
