long story about the down time on my car....

something along the lines of "smaller venturi's and raby jetting suggestion" to optimize performance....

blah blah blah... remove cold start stuff like a few guru's said... "why is it dumping 8 gallons of fuel down each throat" blah blah blah.... call brad... put cold start pistons back in... and finish the carb rebuild....

anyway. so last weekend had the car close.... but my lame dial fuel regulator croaked... and was spitting fuel out the accedl jets at "3" PSI... but falling on its face at 2.5....

Problem solved. KaptKaos sold/traded me a CB rotary internal regulated pump...

car idles great. starts up first crank. roll onto throttle, idle circuits werkin bitchin, and i was getting a little hesitation onto main tranisiton but would do OK at WOT.....

up the main jet to a 135 from a 130 and it is BADASS....

totally smooth thru the powerband, no smoke, no hiccups, backfires or coughing.....

runs AWESOME. i am soooo stoked. car flies. lit up the 8" fuchs wrapped in yokohamas like butta LOL.....

i have a slight crack in a header weld and need to fix it....

gotta throw in the short geared tranny... and go fight some electrical gremlins, and i am good to go...

my dad liked the second gear chirp LOL

Congrats AAron. Great news!




No kidding, very impressive.....we (most of us anyway) are not worthy!

-Tony

I could never get mine to do that... then again I had 57rwhp... lol

What is your estimated hp?

Andrew

Good Job!

cb rotarys work very well. i've been beating that horse for some time. now that you've got it running good...i bet you can go down to 45s on the idles. sounds like you're ready to drive to pland.

k

As long as it don't overheat you be cool.....

Grats Aa!

good job Aaron!!!!!

Good Job! Can't wait to ride in it.

Wanna trade?

Did you get time to put on the new stacks??or are ya still dicking with them LOL

Congratulations.

hey kev, i owe you for a couple tips you gave me (just not the chokes tip LOL) nut for the tomlinson book, and the rotary pump shizzle....

works great... 50 idles are just right...

AA

Havent cut the plates out yet...... and need to lower motor 1/4" inch to clear on the right side... but that may bring headaches...

so yes.. still dicking LOL

AA

hey, is there a trick to get the rotor out of the mallory? it's either a snug fit or the little screw retains it, and i don't want to reef on it. i think my power loss may be due to a toasted rotor and cap. it's as it came to me from daveh and i have no idea how many miles he put on it prior to.

k

yeah.. they are on there snug....

grab and pull, maybe twist just a tad.....

BTW - caps are like 25 bucks (i broke one )

I wondered the same thing on mine. But I finally bit the bullet and gave it a good yank. It's a pretty tight fit (at first anyway).

what car do you have a unilite in??

It'll go in the zambeziteen... but I haven't installed it yet. At the moment it's still lookin pretty on my desk at home.

yep. cap and rotor run the better part of $40(damn). they seem to last tho. hopefully that's my problem.

k

So, where's my ride?

sounds schweeeeeeeeeet

Great

your's gets running, mine goes down

Aaron,

Where did you mount your CB Rotary pump? I have one waiting to go in...

Thanks.

-Aaron

front trunk

Any tips on wiring it up or mouning it? Do you happen to have any pics?

Thanks!

-Aaron

i had a facet on rubber isolators up front.... so this went in the same spot...

i can take some pics...

or you can come over and help me diagnose a small lean stumble on transition:)

I'd be happy to do that! I'm most comfortable with Dell's, but I should be able to help. Are you anywhere near John's machine shop? I'll probably be there next weekend...

You are always welcome up here, I have a full compliment of carb toys and seeing as I'm a Dad now it can be hard to steal away some time...

Let me know either way.

-Aaron

ive got the web's 95% there.... everything i read says it is venturi selection... but the sweet spot on this motor BEGINS at 3500... so i may just have to deal with it...

we also think that we might be able to "trick" this transition with more accell pump squirt...

AA

What vents, E-tubes, mains, and idles do you have in them? What size are the bodies?

-Aaron

weber 44's f11, 135 mains, 50 idles 175 air....

What size venturi?
