I dumped 3 gallons of ethyl in thank to static test the lines and about a cup dripped out of 1 filling. I forgot to tighten it. DOH! I cleaned up the spill and bleed the line to the pump so I got the sleaves of my sweatshirt soaked in gas. I'm about ready to put juice to the pump and set static fuel pressure to 40 psi.

No,
I have some lines I ran several years ago. They are fine. The new stuff is frome them to a new fuel filter and then to the pump. It's all hard line I bent. I've just had to tighten the flared fittings more. I'm giving it plenty of time until I run the pump. The trottle bodies are TMW 45's Injectors are Ford Red tops (30lbs at 43 psi). The sensors are the ones supplied by SDS. Intake air sensor is A GM bird cage. CHT is a Bosch 012 like a 74 2.0l. TPS is a unit supplied by Jake. MAP sensor is supplied by SDS in the kit. I've set up an intake air valve I got off some VW Golf years ago for warmup. The only trick was Jake put a .035 welding tip in the vacuum line to the MAP sensor for metering the vacuum. It evens out the pulses from the ITBs. Dave |
