For sure. I didn't do enough research on changing out my existing low pressure parts for a high pressure setup. I thought I was gonna have to buy an expensive FI tank and run new lines, etc. In reality it would have been cheaper to just do this from the start. Hind sight is always pretty clear. I was able to get decent money back on eBay for my fuel command center. I think I had it to the point where it would work well but I just didn't trust it after having it strand me right off the start. btw, I follow your guys' stuff on YT.

Man some of you guys go through some cars! Ill post pics since Im bored at work. Past Current (minus the X1) Wifes Current Daily Money Pitt

All the joints in and around the valve and the regulator are dry. There are only a couple others in the whole system. I will double check all these before I get the truck back on the ground but I don't expect to find any leaks. But as I mentioned, the pump has no issue bringing the pressure back up instantly compared to when the fuel was drained out of the system and it had to refill the line.

Update: After going back and forth with James and not quite knowing what direction to take I decided to try replacing the "new" fuel pressure regulator. It wasn't an ebay one but it wasn't an Aeromotive either. So I ran to jegs and got an Aeromotive unit to try out. Its 90% fixed! It takes several minutes to bleed off to zero. It does bleed to 40 pretty quickly but then very slowly after that. The pump seems to be able to bounce back a lot quicker as well as soon as I put power to it. Its still weird by the check valve wouldn't hold the pressure in the line even with a junky regulator. I have the worst luck with junky parts right out of the box. Even when I try to buy OEM parts a lot of times I get dead ones. Either way Im satisfied with it for now.

And its not really any extra money compared to the Holley when you add in the cost of the timing control. Its basically the same cost with the added "benefit" of port injection. Even though this typically doesn't make more power..

The coolant temp sensor is hardwired to the holley unit. And Im not using their fan control. I have a separate Dakota Digital unit for that. Neither of these to my knowledge could affect my scenario.

I haven't had any issues with the actual hardware or software. Its been a lot more work than I initially intended, no fault of Holleys though. Between switching fuel systems and ignition systems its been time consuming. I recently added their hyperspark distributor, coil and module to add timing control to the system. This required a complete rework of the wiring in the engine bay for the most part. I havent' gotten a chance to drive it yet due to the weather. The software seems pretty simple to operate. Ideally Id like to take it to Brian Turner and have to smooth out the tune once I some hours on it. Ill do some on my own just because I can but not having it on a dyno Im just guessing. I like the look of that edelbrock system. Now that its cheaper and knowing what I know I would have seriously considered that instead of my setup.

Soo, Ill try to make this as short as possible. I built a new fuel system for my C10 to get rid of the FiTech fuel command center and go with a more normal in-tank mounted pump with a returnless feed to my Holley Sniper. I set it up like any other fuel system I've seen. Holley Hydramat mounted to a walbro pump in the tank. I have 2 lines coming out of the tank. 1 supply to the pressure regulator (filter before) and 1 return from the regulator back to the tank. I then have the supply running up to the Sniper with a gauge at the Sniper. As shown below. The sniper primes the pump when I key on. But as soon as the pump turns off the fuel pressure bleeds from 58psi to 0psi in about 10 seconds. So I figured this particular Walbro that I had/found/barrowed didn't have a check valve. So I ordered one from Jegs and installed it after the regulator. It does the exact same thing. I took the valve apart and everything seems to function as it should. Here's the valve. https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/150021/10002/-1?CAWELAID=1710703609&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=54888473260&CATCI=aud-300525381019:pla-457855243156&CATARGETID=230006180040357494&cadevice=c&gclid=CjwKCAiA4OvhBRAjEiwAU2FoJfZswtBvZ2R0uMCUXz647BwKDrpwHxpIV4Tb9EzlUmKW-J9AkgHCqRoC1P4QAvD_BwE If I key on but don't start it right away the truck definitely long cranks when the pressure dies off before it can build back up again. I don't know where to go at this point? Im can't think of any good ways to diagnose where or how the fuel is returning back to the tank. Ideas?

They are limited to 60" or something right? So small'ish side by sides. Pretty certain they don't allow full sized ones.

Never seen one before... The front is not bad but that rear... https://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/d/dublin-1974-lotus-europa-special/6796533232.html

I was comparing the $15k Roxor to a $15k side by side.

That's neat'ish. Ive never seen that before. Im curious as well what someone with more experience thinks. Ive never offroaded in a jeep/truck. I feel like for the same money a side by side would be the better choice. Better suspension for one. That would be enough for me I'd think

I've been to Brimstone with my brother. I'd highly recommend it. Its massive. Ive heard good things about Rush Offroad which is a bit closer as well. I'd love to own a SXS but can't justify it as I have no place to ride one even in the state. We've rented them all over the place though. Anytime we go on vacation we try and rent them. We've ridden at Silver Lake & Manistee in Michigan. We rode in the White Mountains in New Hampshire. The east side of Lake Tahoe in Nevada. Last fall we rode for about 8 hrs in Sedona, AZ. Love it, we always rent RZR 900 or 1000's. Anything less is a waste.

Its because I bought winter tires this year that our winter has been warm....

We went to the Hartford fair and saw demo derby a couple years ago. It was on par with the ones I saw as a kid up in Knox county when it was a big thing.

It was incredible and saddening at the same time. To be that gentleman and have all those cars means he was buying a couple a year. And to have fixed /restored many of them seems unfathomable. Even just to store them/maintain them in all those barns/garages seems like an inpossible task even if it was financially feasible. Hoarders sure are an odd bunch.

A friend of mine in Cleveland met some guys that run their once a month during the week for cheap. So Ill be joining them. Ill let you know if they are looking for some more folks. Ill probably do Pitt for Carfest in September with Auto Interest. Ill let you know if I do something different. Andy, I believe you completely. I do feel sorta overwhelmed at MidOhio. I feel like if I had the option for loads of private track time there I would get to the point of enjoying it. Much of my dislike comes from never having traffic free laps. I always end up with 25 cars on track and so you never get a good feel/flow for what Im doing. I do want to get to Putnam. Ive heard good things. And yes, Pitt is my favorite, by far.

I wish I had a good answer. I just DON'T like Mid Ohio. I just don't have fun driving the track. I don't have a good reason why. And...everytime I've gone in the past 3-4 years the weather is crap. Im not saying I won't go with you guys but I'd much rather spend less money and have more fun @ Nelson. Ill take the the extra money and to go to Pitt once a year as well.

C10 -Truetrac and 3.73's -Holley HyperSpark for my Sniper BRZ -Replacing Wilwoods with AP Racing front BBK -More AutoX -More Nelson Ledges track days More cars & coffee and Id like to get over to Dayton.

I plumbed in a new softener and holding tank in my basement last year. In that corner of the house is where my outside faucet is plumbed for the porch and driveway. I decided to add in a hot faucet for winter car washing. I extended the hot plumbing to that corner and just put in a new faucet next to the cold one. Its awesome! I want to find a Y that I can introduce cold water so that its not 120* but Ive had trouble finding one that doesn't restrict the flow badly. I love it though.

shucks, just replaced mine 2 weeks ago.

Good to know. Thanks

Isn't there a state law against having hard liquor shipped into Ohio from another state?
