    Electric fuel pump again

    Bob Me personally would run them parallel with flow check valves, Terrible you have to do this with a fuel pump, But if the life cycle of this pump is this short (12,000 miles) then this would be a good way to assure no more rides home on the flatbed

    Electric fuel pump again

    I wonder if it would be worth putting in 2 of them with one filter and an a 3 way "A" "B" switch for the redundancy of it.

    Fuel tank sender removal

    No secret you could actually just tap it out with a screw driver Might want to just give a light tap to each of the tabs to try and loosen it and then just try the too again. All of the tools I have seen dont really allow you to push down a little then spin as when you push on the too it...

    accelerator pump - holley 4160 or 4150

    I hope I can explain this correct When you say high RPMS the pump only gets you towards higher rpms when you hit the gas. Once your at high rpms and you have a miss, its not from the pump.The pump is only used to get you toward higher rpms. Once you have flow thru the carb (air) then the...

    Enee, Menee, Mynee Moe, which should I choose

    I am so sorry your having troubles, I eliminated there air cleaner as I had a clearance problem and I did not like the top lid. I had problems with the machining on the bajo fittings that delayed me installing the tri power in time for Carlilse. I am thrilled with the set up. I may order some...

    C1 instruments pricing...and other

    I would sasy herbs prices are on the money with the exception of the seat. I sold the seats out of my 62 for 1200.00 at a swap meet. they were completely rusted and worthless I thought. I have seen used seats selling (or I should say purchased) for around 1600 to 1800 for sets needing some...

    FRAME STRENGTHENING

    I never did any frame strengthening to my 66 so I cant answer it directly, But back in the 80's I had a big block mustang ( uni body) that if i had slicks on it would get all twisted up. I made frame connectors and a monte carlo bar that used to keep things in order. My 66 has a real strong...

    C1 - Update at the body shop

    Herb It has a real nice stance to it, I would not change it too much, when I was setting the stance on my car I was trying to keep it low and have equal distance between the fender wells and the tires and still having a slight rake between the front and rear . I always like a car that sat a...

    Electric fuel pump again

    Bob I would think every electric motor has an internal thermal overload that once it cools down it will reset, or does it just go on and off for no particular reason. Could just be a poor quaility product last may have a loose wire on the windings Are you guys in freezing weather yet or...

    C2 Alarm system Recommendation...

    Well how aggressive do you want to get with a system? Are you OK with some additional holes in the car? The new alarms can be pretty simple or out of control complex. The tracker style system I feel is a no brainier as it runs off the car battery,then has its own optional stand by battery...

I think it was a wolf purchased from Corvette Central , one of the problems with the cover was it had this fabric on the inside to protect the car. And this fabrix would stay on the canvas top that I would have to clean the top off with a...
