Re: Tone Blue
Live at Maple Grove! 14.2 @ 95mph. Added a few more degrees of timing. Lets see what that does for me?
Happy 4th!

Re: Tone Blue
Once again, timing was not my issue. The car started to fall on its face at 3/4 track. Think I may need to relocate a fuel filter or find out how restrictive it is??
Till next time, Plumbers apprentice out!

Re: Tone Blue
You may not have enough fuel pump. That's the issue I'm currently having with my Nova. Have you checked your float levels lately as well?

Re: Tone Blue
Float levels are good Matt and the pump is a Carter Super Street. It seems as though it may be the pump? Can't imagine that an over the counter pump is better than this one, can it?

Re: Tone Blue
I think you are right about the fuel. That pump may be okay if the inlet is unrestricted. Sometimes filters, the size of the inlet line and such can cause a decent pump to become starved. Running at least 1/2 tank could help a bit. How large is the inlet on the pump? If the 120 gph is with a 3/8th line and you have a 5/16...well you get the jist.

Re: Tone Blue
3/8 line all the way to the carb. Napa brand fuel filter that is unrestricted. Would a bad gas cap have anything to do with it also?

Re: Tone Blue
Ok, I had a visitor today, and he (Plowman) showed me a couple things that I need to change with the supply line and fittings. K.I.S.S! I'm going to change the cheapest and simplest things first. Damn this ethanol enriched fuel!!
I helped him with a few things too!
