I presume you're referring to the Walbro in the Trans Am. I'm not sure if you can run one of those with a carb? I could be wrong. Either way just make sure you have a good bypass style regulator. Deadheading a pump like that will kill it quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Is that the intake I sold you all cleaned up and painted? It looks good. Now you've only got a few months before I collect my winnings, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you've only got a few months before I collect my winnings, lol. YYep sure is lol. Its a miracle what 4 cans of brake clean and some semi gloss black paint will do. I just started a second job...again, so hopefully i can get this thing finished somewhat soon lol Nickey, i didnt used to be a fan of them either, but there newer stuff really isnt that bad. I dont expect anything amazing out of them how they set, but theu should do alright for a year or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
