    Anybody put bigger line into the gas tank??

    When I did this, I could not find anyone who made a larger supply line mounted in the factory sender. I removed the factory 3/8 line, and fabricated a 1/2 line bent to the same image. I used a jewelers torch to braze it in the opening. The filter sock WILL slide over the 1/2" line. The...

    Question for you guys

    Pre-numptual agreements can be declared void in courts now as easy as opening a can of tuna. They really don't amount to much of anything now-a-days.

    Question for you guys

    Well, since you asked a question of us, I've got some advice. Forget about the car for right now, if you sell it to reduce your debt:income ratio or not, and buy the Focus or not is really irrellevant to the bigger question at hand. I would NEVER buy another house with either spouse or friend...

    i am having a hard time locating the correct boost referenced pressure regulator. currently i have -6an line as my supply from the tank. with the holley blue pump it does not require a return line for NA. because it has an internal check valve. do you think i'll need a return line if i can...

    rebuilding a holley 4160 to 4150

    Yes. If the secondary metering block on your 4776-2 is drilled for a 4 corner idle, you will have to drill the baseplate also. If not, you're good to go. Make sure the cam actuating the secondary accelerator pump is aligned up correctly.

    Will a mechanical fuel pump work?

    Yes it will pull it up and out, but I would not have any high spots in the line from the tank to the pump, or it may be prone to cavitate(vapor lock).

    ATI Procharger

    Oh yeah,.....the fuel atomization through the induction system acts to cool some of the incoming air charge which has been elevated from the blower compressor. No, I'm not running an intercooler at 10lbs, but if I did, it would be more efficient, even with a few pounds or so loss through the...

    ATI Procharger

    :D No I'm not running an electric pump. Mostly because I get tierd of hearing the darn thing running. You want VOLUME, not so much pressure. The boost reference will keep the pressure up as needed. At 6 lbs of boost, the carter strip pump was keeping up--barely. Then I went to 10 lbs boost...

    Yup, another one of those threads......

    10:1 will probably require flat top pistons, and with that much lift on the cam, you'll more than likely have to flycut them, but that's no problem. Use a big fuel delivery system and a large exhaust system.

    ATI Procharger

    Yes. I am running a blow through ATI Procharger on a 1968 fastback. I used the low profile ATI bonnet at first, then the taller ATI marine bonnet, and finally settled on the CSU bonnet. The horsepower increases with each bonnet change were pretty dramatic. I also feel that the bonnet is more...

    Which is better elaystomers (sp) or fluid filled dampners?

    They're all good. Personally I partial to the Ford Motorsport dampener..non-fluid filled. Just get a decent one. Every seen one blow apart at the track? :(

    PCV Valve??

    How are you going to route your PVC valve? I had mine just venting to the atmosphere for a while, and after a few hard runs under boost, I would notice that it would not really weep, but misting was kinda evident. Also around the oil dipstick showed signs of misting, but I've never blown the...

    ?'s for anyone with NOVI 1200

    Yea, I was seriously looking at that Vortech turn tube for the impeller inlet, because it clears really nicely, but I didn't like the way it pinches down at the radius either. I ended up making a 3" mandrel bent tubing that exits the rear of the battery apron, and then re-enters right about...

    Have you thought about going to a bonnet rather than the carb enclosure?
