My new 2056 engine running 44IDFs has now about a 40 miles on it. So cool to have this car back on the road after 25 years. Runs way to rich with a 160 main, 175 air correction, 60 Idle jets and a 36mm venturi. Continue to have a problem with popping through the carburetor at partial throttle. Fuel pump is the Carter rotary with inline filter along with their SS lines through the tunnel purchased from Tangerine Racing. Engine builder wants me to install a fuel pressure regulator to eliminate this as a variable. The jetting exercise can come afterward. I bought an Italian made "Petrol King" diaphram regulator with single outet. Will hook up serially the pump/ filter/ regulator / guage than "T" off to the two carbs. I'd like to hard mount this device but where ?? To the body or to the engine ?? I'm sure this has been done before. Any suggestions. Pics would also help. Thanks World
Thanks all for the valuable input. Decided to do the following. I'll put in the fuel pressure gauge temporarily to ensure we have the proper pressure. If required I'll install the pressure regulator. See pic.
Click to view attachmentAlso I've ordered the following carb updates, 32mm venturis, 145 mains and a 200 air correction jets. I have an assortment of idle jets and will start at 50. Will keep you all posted on progress. This may take a while as the snow season is fast approaching the North Coast.
Lastly if I was to add an A/F system what would I have to do to incorporate this into the engine.
