Hmmmm.....well it would be a good time to swap a new one I guess. I'll have to look again but I swear it adjusted.

Ok, from what I glanced at this morning, it adjusts at the top. The "nozzle" has a groove in it and is spring loaded.

Looks like it is adustable.. What did you have your fuel pressure set at? If you don't have one, autozone sells a fp gauge that will screw onto the schrader valve on the fuel line to check.

I have a fuel pressure gauge underhood.....don't remember off-hand what it reads normally.

I also have a gauge inside, but its not hooked up.

Maybe one of my next projects will be to get my fuel guage working....get my fuel pressure guage hooked up, and to swap a better regulator.

One thing at a time people!


Well I got my $900 for my rims/tires.

- $430 for a set of new tires
-$100 for a battery cut-off switch
-$100ish for new gaskets for the top end
-$40 for a new Flame Thrower ignition module
-$100 for the poweder coating work





Leaves me just bout enough for a porter cable and some pads to get her all cleaned up and purty.

Still gotta gets me a helmet though.

Thus the rest of the cleaning work will consist of painting or cleaning, and not replacing!

When you get the PC make sure and buy the $200+ kit that comes with multiple pads. It has the wax pad as well as glaze, cut and polishing pads and the counter weight and backing disks. Its the better deal
SO you dont quite have enough left over so you will have to beg yo babbies mama for some money

If you are hooking up a fuel pressure gauge inside the cabin, please make sure it is an electrical gauge, not a mechanical one. If a mechanical one breaks, you run the risk of getting shot in the face with 40+psi of gasoline. Prob not too fun while doing 70 on the highway.

Yeah, now that he pointed it out, I see the slot in the vaccuum tee for adjustment.

Yeah, that'd be no good.

I'm pretty sure its a full sweep electrical. Once I'm done with this current project I'll pop it out and take a better look at it.


Well stock VC's don't even come close to fitting. My rockers and springs are way huge. The dang bolt holes don't even line up.

Oh well, gonna try to powder my current VC's. If they don't take, guess I'll have to swap new ones one day down the road and stick with these dirty black ones.

I'm thinking about getting a set of 1.7's on my car.. I don't know if it will help much at all considering my car is stock. Looks like anything bigger then stock rockers and you'll need new VC's.. thats a bummer!

Just found out the dude IS going to be able to powder my polymer covers. Its gonna take some work, but he can cook em right. He's sanding and smoothing all the imperfections too!

This guy is the bomb!
