Halfway done with my checklist ofto do before I start it. Just got to keep working it. (Was going to post pictures, but I'm getting an error).
That's when I get the error.I've been getting an error for about a week or so now. The only workaround I've found is to save the pic to my device and attach it as a file.
It's fuel. Past 4500rpm it falls flat and pings a bit. Up to that it pulls real nice.Check out my working fuel gauge!

Just took her for a drive, and gave it the beans...
Something isn't right. She's running short of air or fuel way too early. My suspicion is air, given the new air cleaner, but with one of the fuel filters still needing replacement, and the 5/16" feed into the pump instead of MSD's recommended 3/8, it could be either. We'll see. I'll pick up the other filter I ordered from Napa tomorrow and change that first.
What carb?Does your air cleaner cover the carb vent tube? I had that problem, air could not get out the vent tube so fuel would not flow into the bowl. Just think'n out loud.
Yeah, those things look like a carb, forgot you did the 'fake carb' thing, sorry.What carb?
It mimics a carb real damned well sometimes. Like when it decides it doesn't like the weather... just like a damned carb... or that it wants me to feed it throttle on a cold start, just like a damned carb... or I have to adjust the idle speed screws... just like a damned carb.Yeah, those things look like a carb, forgot you did the 'fake carb' thing, sorry.
You can run carburator with a return-less, low-pressure fuel pump. There is a solenoid witch keeps the pump only running when the engine runs AND it will prime the pump for some seconds, when you put the key to "ignition on". You can also jumper this solenoid by an additional switch that you can prime "by hand".I feel like this car would be just as good with a 650cfm Edelbrock Thunder AVS carburetor (which is, in all irony, what it had before the EFI system), with the trade-off being that it'd be having to crank the engine to prime the fuel system every time i wanted to drive it if it'd sat for more than a couple of days. Other than that, it was just as convenient, and didn't roll coal like a diesel off idle the way the Atomic randomly does.
