rob thinks he's bo duke.......

I'd love to be a Good 'Ol Boy, but my problem is my trailer sits very low, and you can't open car doors once they're on it!

i must say it was amusing watching you get in and out of my car through the window....

 

the exhaust is now hooked back up unfornately....so i prolly can't get anymore sound clips..:y:

 

She seems to be a little more responsive, its gaining power everytime i drive it....its still running WAYYY too rich. Now i just gotta wait for the exhaust to carbon up again =) apparently gases go faster then.

 

on the downside i think i have a rooted front wheel bearing....at 100kph the car has a very slight vibration through it which wasnt there 5 weeks ago....sounds like its coming from the front drivers side wheel.

 

Rob, if you are home sometime during this week send me a pm and i'll give you a drive, i need to know if i can benifit from an electric fuel pump or not....:wub:

get the fuel tuned properly, if it's not cutting out because the float bowls run dry, then there's no use spending money on an electric pump :dance:

 

wheel bearings are easy. when you do them, put a big of grease in your hand and push the bearing cone onto it (upside down) until it squishes out the other side of the rollers :jamie:

 

or just do what i do and keep tightening them up and don't worry about the big pits in the rollers :dance:

You can always benifit with an electric fuel pump.

It's a matter of wether the small gain ie: less power

drawn from motor , more power to back wheels

is finacially viable. Anyway the sound of the electric

fuel pump humming in the boot is cool

the noise annoys the shit out of me, i hid mine under the floor for that reason

 

and do you really think a little lobe on the cam would really cause that much of a drag on the engine? i must say i didn't notice any difference in mine changing from mech to electric

If you purchased the Facet pump that i quoted you....well then your going to get the sound that you love. (sort-of)

I have mine mounted inside the boot. Its sitting on a dense rubber block and bolted to the floor. I can just hear it over my exhaust and or radio stopped at a red light, if the tank is getting low. It bugs the shit out of me too.

 

The trouble with Facet pump is that its a diagphram pump. So its not an even hum, but rather a clack clack clack (but a deep sound).

It's still regarded as a good quality pump though. :jamie:
