Live at Maple Grove! 14.2 @ 95mph. Added a few more degrees of timing. Lets see what that does for me?

Happy 4th!

Once again, timing was not my issue. The car started to fall on its face at 3/4 track. Think I may need to relocate a fuel filter or find out how restrictive it is??

Till next time, Plumbers apprentice out!

You may not have enough fuel pump. That's the issue I'm currently having with my Nova. Have you checked your float levels lately as well?

Float levels are good Matt and the pump is a Carter Super Street. It seems as though it may be the pump? Can't imagine that an over the counter pump is better than this one, can it?

I think you are right about the fuel. That pump may be okay if the inlet is unrestricted. Sometimes filters, the size of the inlet line and such can cause a decent pump to become starved. Running at least 1/2 tank could help a bit. How large is the inlet on the pump? If the 120 gph is with a 3/8th line and you have a 5/16...well you get the jist.

3/8 line all the way to the carb. Napa brand fuel filter that is unrestricted. Would a bad gas cap have anything to do with it also?

Ok, I had a visitor today, and he (Plowman) showed me a couple things that I need to change with the supply line and fittings. K.I.S.S! I'm going to change the cheapest and simplest things first. Damn this ethanol enriched fuel!!

I helped him with a few things too!
