I assume that you are like 21 or something like that. Don't date women that are under 30 unless you want to go through this shit again. The younger they are the stupider they are. And the more apt they are to pull this shit.

graemlins/gives.gif Now lets all break out our sewing machine sounding imports and claim were fast. When I see an EVO, or any import for that matter, running in Kings of the street, I will be impressed. It's the simple law of money. $25000 against $250000, you put a quarter mill in am import, I will go buy a $5000 roller and a $20000 540 CI crate motor and well take em down the track. And I will WIN EVERY time. It perplexes the shit out of me that people throw money hand over fist at 4 banger imports expecting then to go fast, and they still aren't as fast or as quick as a stack of tubing, a crate motor and half the time invested will run. But to each his own.

Not to worry about the bench. As far as the fuel problem. 7 PSI is ok on that Edelbrock carb, but no more, and if you start seeing fuel running into the carb venturi at idle, then the pressure is too high. As far as the 750 thing, I would have to agree that even with what you have, a 750 is a bit big but being an Edelbrock air valve secondary then even with a tight convertor and mild performance build it's still ok. If it were a Holley, especially a double pumper it would be WAY too much. As far as it being your first motor, and I say this in all honesty, if it made *** first 20 minutes after fireup, you did fine. That's the finger crossed point, if it's not gonna stay together, it typically does it during break in. Congrats on the motor. And let me know if I can help out on anything.

not a problem. Vince and I are the carb kings, hell I didn't even know there was another car on CR that had a carb. smile.gif

how much do you want for it. I hate trying to price someone else's stuff

First, move the pump, it's meant to push and not pull fuel, it could be starving for fuel on the inlet side. Second, if you have a seperate fuel pressure /vacuum gauge, like the ones sold for tuning, hook it up to the outlet od the regulator and check the pressure. Then if it's not where it needs to be, disconnect the fuel line from the pump and test the output pressure of the pump. If it's a blue pump, it should be 9 to 11 psi. no less than 8 PSI. if that's not the case, either rebuild the pump of get a new one. If it came from Jegs, chances are once it saw fuel they will not swap it for a new one. If you can get them to great, if not and they will give you a rebuild kit that's cool to. They are not hard to rebuild, and if you like I can give you a hand with it. Other than that, save the pump for a spray kit, and go back to a mechanical pump. There are vrey good high flow high pressure mechanicals out there. NASCAR runs mechanical pumps and they are making around 800 HP, I doubt that you are making near that.

I want to see the TA. I have cash in hand. Where is it, and do you have pics?

Got you covered. and we can jet it here if you want. 650 double pumper is what you want right?

Cock Sucker! Seven years ago they banned R-12 and R-22 Freon because it was eating away at the ozone layer, they did all this work and reduced anything that would deplete ozone. Now we have to much of the shit, or that's what they claim at least, and they are going to fuck us around some more and cost everyone more fucking money to reduce something that we didn't have enough of before, or that's what they claimed. God damn I am sick of these fucking idiots that claim one thing, then claim something else 7 years later.

Well the short explanation is it's worn out. The long version is that the crank has worrn on the thrust surfaces to the point its moving back and forth in te mains. As it does this, the oil runs from the clearances between the main bearings and the sides of the crank. Basically it needs a crank kit quick and a new oil pump, if he repairs it quickly and doesn't run it AT ALL till its fixed ti will be ok. If not, it's gonna blow within the next few months.

Hey man, that's just not right. Sorry to hear that, what kind of car does your mom have, maybe someone has a tranny or knows of one. Second, how much damage was done to your car. I figure it needs a rear drum or rotor, brake parts, and beaten out around the wheel well. Maybe we can do something about that too.

What is he going to do with the mechanical FI system after *** fact. I realize that he will be using the intake and the like but the Crower pump, rails, injectors, and flow valves will be loose.

Same side? Reason I ask is this. If you have torqued the studs to yield several times (studs do stretch a small amount at proper torque, but over torquing will cause them to stretch too much, this is yield) if this is the case. The studs are failing, actually stretching out and getting loose. If this is the case the studs are about to fail.. You need to get em changed. It's not real hard, so you nmight do it yourself and save a few bucks.

$75 for the EGT if you have the thermocouple for it and all. How big is 60 MM in inches anyway?

Magic Mike is really good, but it's all bass, Too short's bass riffs are better though, try the song The Ghetto. But by far, Pink Floyd, specifically the song TIME. The bass guitar in it is possibly the greatest of all time for a listening experience. The rest of this stuff is just 808 synth. And is just music, or noise depending on your tastes. Floyd is spiritual, and the music will bring you to a new level of the music experience. The other thing to find id Hotel Califorina live by the Eagles, the begining of the song has some very tight snappy bass for testing the response of your speakers and cabinets. If it sounds at ALL muddy or humms like the DJ Magic Mike music, then you are running too big a port in you sub cabinet or it needs to be sealed all together.

does the air/fuel come wiht the O2 sensor? And 2 inch seems smallish, or are there now 2 inch gauges that I was simply unaware of.

HA HA, on a serious note, you might talk to Herb out here in Johnstown at HardShift transmission. He did the one I have in the Camaro, and it has held up to some serious abuse.

I don't know that I would put those two gauges that far out of the line of sight. Depending on the other gauges that you already have, I would consider moving other gauges down there and putting the oil pressure and water temp as close as possible to the direct line of sight. nitrous pressure, boost and crap line that are not near as important as oil and water. But that's just my opinion

My point is so elequently made by our board liberal. Liberals don't care about the draft becasue they will dodge it anyway. Thank you Mr. Clinton AKA Jack Pee for getting my point across.

+1</font>Yes, I was kidding, to a point, I don't know that Kerry would really do this. But a sitting president can not create jobs. Other than military jobs. Now as far as the creation of the draft and it's use. Yes, created by democrats, used by democrats, Every time. You DO NOT NEED a draft when America is under attack. Men and women from 16 to 61 ran to sign up for military duty after 911, they did the same thing after Pearl Harbor. It our freedom is at risk, a draft is not needed, volinteers will be at the local recruiters station lined up outside to join up. That's part of what it means to be an American.

Nader is full of shit. But just to be on the safe side. Vote Bush and there will be no worry. Democrats are for the draft, so they can dodge it. Bush will not reinstate the draft. It was created by democrats, Selective Service was reinstated by Jimmy Carter, a democrat. And Kerry is promicing 10 million new jobs, the ONLY way that a sitting president can create jobs is drafting people. So that's his master plan. 10 million new drafted military personnal.

Yeah, I can take care of it for you. Aluminium or steel. Give me a call at (740) 967-4324 or PM me to setup a time to get it done. Can do it while you wait, and it will be TIG welded, will need pan empty and clean of oil to weld it.

As some of you know I have a 4 year old son that likes to spend time in the garage while I work on the cars. Well he's a picture of him sleeping on my creeper so you have an idea of how serious he is about the car thing. http://www.foornet.net/images/johnjohn.jpg
