Default Re: Day 2 Vega

You've got some nice stuff there Tracy. I've spoken to the Walboro engineer who was in charge of the duplex and triplex pumps. He did warn me that the rubber in them will not hold up to today's fuel and that rebuild kits are getting hard to find.

On the upside, it only seems to be the rubber bellows that fails and I did hear some talk at the MCACN show that somone may be producing an modern fuel friendly bellows.

The ignition parts are spot one and beautiful.

The cool can might be worth making a bypass, as they are a great place to develop vapor lock on a street driven car. I don't know how well a V8 Vega gets all that heat out of the engine bay. You can then have it for show, and with a switch of the valves, you can actually get the gains at the strip.

The Grant box is certainly the one I would go with. I've seen it on some older Corvette's and I beleive either would be correct, neither being more correct than the other.

Ignition wires are probably the lowest priority for me, and the ones you have look great.
